I like the aesthetics, becomes so chaotic, it does make it really hard with the rule not to collide asteroids together. I guess you and me both did have time left for sounds 🤣

Submitted

I LOVE the retro aesthetics you have is very accomplished!!! well done!

Submitted

Funny and goofy game, simple concept and the graphics really fit the og asteroid aesthetics. Well done. Also I found a silly exploit.

Can't go wrong with an Australian God. It was entertaining and surprisingly challenging for how simple it was. I found, however, that you can repeatedly spawn asteroids in front of the player on spawn, and they try to strafe away instead of shooting and get hit over and over.

Submitted

quite difficult, the slingshot is an interesting mechanic, great presentation!

Submitted

great game. that slingshot string bounce mechanic is gold. i would like a bit more feedback when i hit the ship, since sometimes it can get a bit confusing when it just spawns in the middle again. I see this game in the top 100

Submitted

Game was funny, difficult to get a hang of, art is very reminiscent of asteroid, I like the amogus rock.

Submitted

Love the leaderboard! Story gave me a giggle too

Submitted

Neat!

Submitted

Great game! I had some trouble understanding the controls but hell yeah I am in for an australian god! I enjoyed the story too + humor!

Definitely sth that should be updated in the future, great game!

And also thanks again for reviewing our game! :D

i love that you can choose your playstyle here :D

when i got how to play correctly (in my opinion haha), the gameplay become a bit slow paced, but effective

but a chaotic style with tons of lines is also fun :)

also would be great to have some music in the intro and throughout the game. nice entry!

Developer

I wanted to add some music, but I am a bad programmer, even worse game designer, even worse artist, and an even worse composer.

ohh that sounds harsh on yourself hahah

some tracks that are available for free can be also fine :)

intro could be shorter, but feels great to play and love the shader. very descriptive title too. knows what it wants to be and delivers!

Submitted

This was way more fun than I expected and I played it for quite a bit longer than I planned to on my lunch break! I enjoyed the silly premise, that god is apparently Australian, and the Among Us cameo. The curved CRT background and overall retro arcade aesthetic was a neat touch! I did find that the curved background made tracking my asteroids a bit harder, though. I also wish there was a way to bounce asteroids away from collision without spawning another one. Overall, though, frighteningly addictive and fun!

Submitted

Love the vintage aesthetic. The gameplay is smooth, with just the right amount of challenge to it. Overall, I think this was a great submission!

Submitted

Pretty fun little game, just wish there was a bit more to it. I also found it was really easy to strike a line diagonally right through the ship and get them every time. Otherwise, the game is nicely presented and has a simple and intuitive concept.

Submitted

Played this longer than I initially planned to and managed to enter the bottom of the leaderboards.  Simple game but really addicting. hahaha. AU cameo is funny too! 

Submitted

Intro was a bit long, but its a really fun and unique concept once you get the hang of it! The gameplay balances quite nicely with the further you pull it back, the smaller the asteriod. It's a good amount of challenging for such simple mechanics. The graphics were also quite nice, really fits the aesthetic! Well done!

Submitted

Hello, it's me, the man who named this game on discord, since I'm not in the credits my lawyer will contact you soon.

Very nice story, and the control scheme is actually just straight up brilliant. I love how the line the player drawn can both spawn meteorites and manipulate them at the same time. The presentation is very well done.

However, can't help but feel that the main content itself is lagging, the game would really benefits from more dynamic gameplay especially with this control scheme.

Submitted

Very cool game! What inspired God to be Australian? Excellent choice.
