asterism

I just submitted my first (Mini) Ludum Dare entry!

I call it Asterism, since it’s about collections of stars. You collect stars at the start and then you use them to shoot a massive horde of enemies that advances ever toward you. Every game object is a randomly generated rectangle, so no repeats of anything.

You can play it here: http://www.vrac.iastate.edu/~reu/metablast2010/asterism/

WOW I really like the gravity effect when the stars cluster together. Great work, very playable.

this ran pretty slowly on my laptop (macbook/osx 10.6 w/ firefox). I think I liked the idea, though I didn’t fully understand why getting more stars at the start puts you at any sort of advantage.

Awesomeness!!!

I got over 1000000 points!!! 😀

It seems like the more stars you get the slower you fire them at the enemy.

Am I right?…
