It’s time to save the world from asteroids again.

Get in your little space ship already!

Surprising, despite the constant movement where I was flying through space, I didn’t feel any motion sickness. I believe that is due to decision to keep the objects moving at a constant speed and in the same direction. The sparseness of space also helps a lot here.

\n

The space ship movement is not one to one with my left hand so I generally felt I was ‘detached’ from it and the rotation of my hand was ignored too, which threw me off as well. I was expecting to be able to shoot up/down/left/right because it felt like a gun-like experience.

\n

Improvements could be made to the feedback to the player when the ship was hit (eg the health bar flashing or a red flashing ball around the ship).

\n

I would be tempted to experiment with offsetting the position of the ship from the controller so that it’s mostly centered in the players view so that the player had a more 3rd person look of the game behind the ship. I’m not sure if that would be too much of s detachment or if the relative moment still works despite the large offset.

This is great and I love low polys :-)

\n

This is a fun little experience where it feels good flying the ship and cleaning the asteroids.

\n

Godspeed !!!

I really like the controllers and camera of the space ship. The graphics are simple but quite nice, both the space ship, the star field and the meteorites.\nI hope you will keep developing it and add new features because it has a lot of potential.\nGood job!
