Disasteroids!!!
This week’s Wednesday Workshop #186 was to create a nice Asteroids game.
As I started creating it, I was planning a nice Horizontal Shooter-esque game, with powerups and all kinds of crazyness.
But I ran out of steam midway.
A shame..
BUT.
It’s still a nice swooshy game, with fancy particles, and nice explosions.
It’s mouse controlled, like Horizontal Shooter is, so just roam about, avoid the asteroids, and blow ‘em all up. When there’s less asteroids left, more will appear, and on and on you go until you’re dead.
No powerups, but if you want a better version, I’m always here to help!
I did plop in Generic Highscore Table, though, so (as always) type in your name on the titlescreen, and rightclick to upload your best scores.
You can Download Disasteroids Here.
Enjoy!

ive played alot centipong the last days and wanted to ak today how much of the asteroids game is done…
then visiting your site and there it is:
the download…
yeah thats a promising addition to the asteroids genre.
love the smooth controls.
got a bit annoyed by the spreading energy draining asteroid pieces when they explode…
after a while i got used to it and …
but maybe there should also be an optional chill mode without (or with a smaller amount of asteroid splitters that have also a shorter range) for a more relaxed asteroids experience
some powerup suggestions:
-fire power
-spread shot
-slow motion (ship is fast as ever. but asteroids not)
-power shots (shooting through asteroids)
-shield
-freeze
