A gravity-based asteroid shooter where you need to clear the solar system of asteroids using the gravity of nearby planets to deflect your shots, without hitting the planets themselves.
You get 10 seconds per shot, and the remaining time in each level is your score. If you take too long, more asteroids spawn in. Each new level adds more asteroids.
Left/Right to aim, hold O to fast-aim, press X to shoot.
To Do:
- Add point bonuses such as "long shot" for extra long shots, or "near miss" to reward using tighter slingshots.
- Add music and better sounds.
- Save high scores.
Started with the Moon Lander tutorial on YouTube, then got a bit carried away adding new features and redoing most of it.
Fancier ground graphics, added planets, moving star field, and lots more.
The faster you land (and the less fuel you use) the higher your score for that level, and it tracks your score accumulating until you die. Makes it pretty fun as you try to do suicide-burns last second to still slow down enough and not go splat.
Stores your best score for next time you play.
First PICO-8 game I've shared with friends/etc who seemed to like it, and now adding it here so we can access it from Splore.
