First time doing an EXTRA Jam: AstroHaul
I had less time this LD than normally so I went for the "Extra" 3-week Jam this time. The resulting game is AstroHaul, where you have to find resources to upgrade your ship while defeating enemy fighters.

Play AstroHaul
It was really useful to get time for a few rounds of play testing and tweaks. And with 3 days still left to go, I hope to do some final tweaks and polish ahead of the deadline!
EXTRA category = time to playtest & tweak
I went for the “Extra” 3-week Jam this time, creating the game AstroHaul: You're flying around in space looking for resources to upgrade your ship, while defeating enemy fighters.
Having 3 weeks means you can do some playtesting and tweaks. I can highly recommend this format, especially if you are limited on time.

Play AstroHaul
Here's the changelog: - Overhauled balance for enemies, weapons and powerups - Player now starts with either a Cannon or Shockwave module - Added dedicated upgrades for Shockwave - Improved visual clarity for Modules and enemies - Players can hold SHIFT to manually aim cannons - Added new powerups and breakables - Visual improvements for health and shield display - Various bug fixes with projectiles and enemies - Improved UI keyboard navigation (e.g 1-3 to pick upgrades)
FINAL version now up, 19.666 ratings received
This screenshot does a surprisingly good job at capturing the mood right now
With 6 hours to go I'm almost at the finish line of the EXTRA Jam category, and I just submitted the final (fingers crossed) set of fixes and changes based on people who've tested AstroHauler so far (thank you!).
It'd be great to get 20 ratings and a final score, so if you haven't already - please give the game a try!
Play AstroHaul
