Finally got round to uploading my asteroids game for anyone who’s interested in having a play. People seem to like it!

Play it here.

I guess I got a bit carried away and just found myself constantly adding stuff above and beyond the brief. The final version features four different power-ups that appear out of certain large asteroids and a simple health system whereby a single hit from a small asteroid will only damage the ship (reducing its speed and losing the ability to hyperspace). There’s also a fuel variable that depletes according to your speed and when it runs out, you lose the ability to move around the screen, and a timer that gives you only a minute to complete the game. At the end, your score is tallied up taking these things and others into account and you’re given a final score, and a rank, A-E. You get an S Rank if you manage to get 3000 points or over, which I myself have only managed once so far. My top score is 3024 I think, so if you beat that, do let me know!

I know, I’m only going to get like 3 extra marks for all of that extra stuff, but those ideas just kept coming to me and I wanted to see if I could do them.

Well, enjoy!
