Asteroid Field (for lack of a more original name) is a 2D arcade style survivor game. The aim of the game is to take control of your ship and dodge asteroids for as long as possible.
The simple art style is arcade based, but more a product of spending more time on mechanics than art assets. The next iteration of this project will have vastly updated assets.
The controls are somewhat harder than your basic survival game, yet far more fun. Control the ship with the arrow keys, using LEFT and RIGHT to rotate the ship and UP to use the thruster. As the game is set in space, the ship has perpetual motion, continuing in the direction it has been thrust, until you turn the ship around and thrust in the opposite direction.

The game features various asteroid sizes, moving at varying speeds. Asteroids are generated procedurally, spawning in random positions with random velocities. The longer you survive, the higher a score you will achieve!
This demo is currently being worked on in the hope of creating a full game for Mobile and Tablet, with new, re-worked features including:
- Powerup integration
- Artistically styed assets, spaceship types, asteroid shapes
- Stages and increasing difficulty, starting the gameplay easy and p[rogressively getting harder
- Differing art assets for differing stages
Look out for it!
