Important Note:

The definitions of Early Access and Complete/Stable are a bit different for this project, and are outlined as follows:

  • Early Access: This means I'm currently working to add features, but not necessarily to make it fun or "complete". I still intend to work on it even if there are other projects in progress.

  • Complete/Stable: This means I'm simply done working on it and have moved on to focus on other things. The game is not complete in that it's ready for sale or anything like that, just that I've done all that I wanted to with it.

This is a vertical schmup that uses an Asteroids theme. You just move back and forth at the bottom of the screen and shoot as many asteroids as you can.

Controls (keyboard required):

  • Arrow keys move your ship left and right

  • Space bar fires a laser

  • Escape key exits the game (though not gracefully when played in-browser)

All music is by sawsquarenoise, licensed under CC BY, and comes from the Free Music Archive.

This game came from a great Godot tutorial found here (you'll have to use the Wayback Machine).

There are a bunch of assets that weren't used in the tutorial, so I figured a great way to get better at using Godot would be to come up with whatever excuse I could to shoehorn in those unused assets, whether it makes sense or not.

This won't be much of a real game, and will never be sold, but you're welcome to check it out if you'd like. I do appreciate feedback, even though I may or may not implement suggestions. For me, time and motivation are very limited, and this project is really just practice, so I'm not going to take it all that seriously.

all-ages

You know what, screw it. I can dev on the Windows machine too, while I finish upgrading the other one:

0.4.0:

- Tiny asteroids now spawn from small asteroids. These do not damage the player, but are worth 500 points!

0.3.0:

- Main menu screen and music

- High score (just the one for now)

0.2.0 Is done!

- Now using more grey images, and even added a medium asteroid.

0.1.0 - Initial state for Space Asteroids:

- Core gameplay of moving and shooting asteroids

- Game over screen and option to exit

- Trying to exit from the HTML version doesn't quite work right, though
