Asteroids with upgrades is such a cool idea. Didn't really see the theme though...

I really liked the game, very creative. at the start I was trying to figure out what the looping mechanic was (cause I don't read the text lol). Then found out that bullets go off the screen to the other side. 

Game is easy to understand and very enjoyable, personally I just kept spinning and pressing the mouse button to shoot, 9/10 times that worked just fine. 

really great game with nice counterfit upgrades, just felt that the player's mouvement felt a bit out of control somme times

I enjoyed it! Simple idea, but nicely done! liked all the different upgrades with both nerfs and buffs, and also the mechanic, tho there is a bug when you die just at the same time you get a level up! Good job :))

Game was fun, liked almost everything about it. My only nitpick is that the rocket turning felt very slippery which made standing still almost always the best strategy when playing. It would be fun in the future if there was more incentive for making the player move. Liked the upgrades with the up and downsides, making you think before picking one.

Really fun! I like that each upgrade also has a drawback, really adds to the strategizing. Also very creative idea, love how you can use screen looping to your advantage. Here's my high score 

Roguelike Asteroids is a good idea that I would like to see developed further.

Three things that I would suggest changing after the jam:
1) make the screen bigger - it felt a bit too cramped, which made me never want to pick a speed upgrade because the risk of crashing in asteroids by accident seemed too high;
2) change the shoot input from mouse click to space; and change the thruster from space to W (also, maybe duplicate these controls on the arrow keys) - it feels a bit odd to use a mouse just for a button click; and
3) make some smaller and faster asteroids (this goes well in combination with making the screen bigger) - another reason I avoided speed upgrades was because I didn't feel like I needed them because the asteroids were all big and slow.

It looks like a simple asteroids clone, but I think this has some really clever design elements that make it quite addictive and fun. I am firmly of the opinion that most game loops can be improved by being a roguelike. The choice of clever upgrades means you can go for different builds. It's very satisfying to start seeing the asteroids pop like popcorn. It has that Vampire Survivors like progression of going from being able to kill 1 thing at a time, to killing everything around you.

I would suggest one thing to borrow from the VS style of game is to start offering upgrades that "level up" your existing choices, rather than always presenting new choices (or basically have a higher chance to show choices you've already picked again, but it's important to present it as an upgrade on an existing choice, to reduce decision fatigue). I find that these choices are often fighting against each other so picking two opposing ones without realizing it can cancel out and take you backwards in terms of progression. Whereas if I could reliably keep enhancing the same upgrade my "build" would have more of a sense of identity.

Also controller support would be really good!

I love Asteroids, and I'm starting to discover that I love roguelikes! The idea of adding powerups to Asteroids is cool, but then some of the ideas for powerup go above and beyond, like the penetration one! I'm a bit miffed that there's always a trade-off, but it does let you choose what you want to focus on. Also the overall retro feel with the art and sound effects is awesome!

I hope you'll try out and rate my entry too!

one of the more creative takes on asteroids - i like how the 'penetration' bullets bounce of the asteroid before hitting another. this could use some music and it would be cool (or maybe hellish idk) if you could die from your own bullets. it would also be good to see when the cooldown is over. nice game!

Very well done! Love the minimalistic art style. Fun game overall.

Good asteroids clone, could look more into having the player wrap around the screen but overall good.

Just because it's simple doesn't mean its not fun. Really good idea building off of a classic, and great execution!

Classic game, fun execution. :)

I was feeling quite powerful until one sneaked up on me.

Nice take on the theme! A challenging but well executed, fun game!

the upgrade descriptions are funny haha. nice game!

This is hard. I didn't get past level 2 . The control just would not understand what I wanted the ship to do :D. But the feeling of hitting an asteroid that looped on purpose, man, that felt good. Well done!

Really fun game, when I decided I wanted to make a roguelike for this jam one of my ideas was actually an asteroids roguelike - you definitely did the concept justice here, great job!
