Ranked from 6 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.
In what way does your game fit the theme?
Use laser magnets to stop asteroids from impacting earth. One laser alone isn't enough to stop an asteroid though. It will take many because they are stronger together.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Code, Art, and Music were made all during the jam. SFX were modified from a purchased asset.

I like the idea, but it feels a bit unfinished.
Is pretty fun and adictive, the mechanic of deploying a laser by having a pair of magnets is interesting and well achieved.
The idea was pretty sweet! I got a game breaking bug on the second wave when all the asteroids are destroyed, the level does not progress.
Sorry about that. The asteroids spawn at different heights above the camera and descend with varied mass and drag. Occasionally a slow asteroid will spawn higher than the rest. This can make it appear that the game isn't progressing but it is really just waiting on the one asteroid to make it's way down. We decided the time it'd take to fix would be better spent on other areas after we discovered it.
As a 'fix', we added an asteroid counter to indicate how many asteroids were remaining but, in my tired haze 4 hours before deadline, I forgot to anchor it to the camera so it is actually floating just outside of view. We plan to push the fixed version after voting is complete.
Really fun game! I spent more time playing than I would like to admit XD
