Nice!!!! can we download the game files too to play offline ?
Thanks! I never setup a Windows (offline) build for this project sorry!
Great graphics, fun gameplay loop, super well put together!
What an awesome entry. Spinning to gain shields (among other things) is such a genius idea! Particle effects slaps too! The only small complaint I have is that it was hard to stop my rotation and aim at small ships. So I usually opted to spin and shoot and hope my bullets hit enough enemies :D Maybe a little more friction on the rotation could help
Thanks for the feedback! Shout out to Pixel Composer for the particle effects, it's a great tool! While I find asteroids-like controls difficult inherently (mouse to aim ship is easier for me), I definitely made it worse by leaving a quirk in the ship controller where your rotation stops faster if you give no steering input than if you counter-steer, which doesn't make much sense :D
Oh, I never saw that tool. It looks incredibly useful!
