Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.
- It’s quite hard to move around. Maybe using L/R instead of the pad to rotate would have been easier.
- Good entry! With a bit more of work it could become a great asteroids clone. Some notes: - Some asteroids go to fast, the player doesn't have enough time to react and move. I would prefer having more slower asteroids than less faster ones. - I like that the music progressively changes with each stage. - It's nice that the game has a help screen, but it needs more a pause one.
- Love the look mum no computer vibes! The music loop could've been a bit cleaner I think, but I love that you combined the game boy channels and streamed audio. The high-contrast noisy BG makes the text and shapes harder to read. Some kind of checkpoint/continue feature would be nice as it's near impossible to reach level 7 without savestates.
- Decent port of asteroids! I had trouble dodging some of the fast moving ones, but maybe I'm just bad at astroids haha. I'll have to keep playing!

so tough! i got as far as level 4. the progressively intensifying music is a really cool feature -- though it does leave me wishing i was good enough to hear the whole thing, heheh. nice work :D
Thanks, glad you like it :)
Yeah, I might have lost the feeling for the difficulty a bit after playtesting a lot :D
Love the music, also I think it's cool you built the game from scratch in C instead of using a 3rd party library. I'm definitely not an asteroids pro lol. Nice work!
thank you :)
There's not much to say about the game itself. It's competently made. However, I think it'd be a nice feature to include a pause button.
Good point! However, I am not sure I will have much time to work on it after the jam
