Thanks so much! I do think it suffers a little from “game developer makes their own game a bit too hard” 😅

Thanks! There is tutorial/toast text for each new element added to the game: rocks, gates, directional gates, and spinning gates. It’s minimal, but tells you all you need to know.

As mentioned in “How does your game fit the theme?”: multiple gameplay mechanics involve doing things in descending order, ie. counting down.

I’ll list some of them:

• gates need to be passed in descending order
• there is a special bonus for destroying rocks in descending order
• loose power ups are on a (invisible) countdown, the length is discoverable
• music/sfx use descending chord progression
• etc

And as you say the timer counts down.

If I had to summarise it, the game is a battle against the count down.

Thanks! One of my favourite things to do is to maximise the points by getting into the black hole as fast as possible, feels so good when you line it up on the last gate and can just boost right into the hole

Thank you! Comments like this make it all the effort worthwhile.

Thanks! I’ll be sure add ASWD controls duplication on my todo list.

Thanks! The trick is to angle towards the opposite edge of the black hole and thrust, then you can go straight in. If you do this as soon as the black hole appears you can dash straight into it. Takes a bit of skill, but very satisfying when you can nail it every time.

Thank you. It’s lonely on your own out there in space! So I picked some chords that can be melancholy at times.

But, there’s a way to add to the music and even play an uplifting jingle once per wave! Did you figure it out?

Great to hear! That’s exactly the feeling I was going for. Thanks for playing. Spread the word!

Thanks! It’s as much racing game as it is Asteroids, I tried to blend the two.

Thanks! The CRT shader really makes those vectors pop!

Cheers! There is actually a limit :) otherwise things go crazy
