[ALPHA] Asteroids

shutout5591 · 07-13-2008, 11:45 AM

This is a remake of the classic game Asteroids and should be pretty self-explanitory.

Controls:
Left/Right - Turns ship
Up - Moves forward
Down - Slows ship down
A - fires
B - Pauses

Changes:
Fixed bug where player data didn't reset after each round
Added ufos that randomly spawn
Optimised game speed
Fixed bug where round X would have X-1 asteroids

Other Notes:
* Special thanks to YourSavior who provided images of the ship, asteroids, and bullet.
* I used the ScreenManager and some sounds from AlienGame

I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed writing it. And, as always, let me know how it goes.

I guess ill be the first to say nice work. I'm positive everybody has played this game at one itme or another and it is a great game to have on the zune.

wiisrock · 07-13-2008, 12:17 PM

sweet, i love asteroids, but holy crap the ship moves fast!

Huntsman85 · 07-13-2008, 12:28 PM

Awesome! I've been waiting for this one for a while now.

birdman · 07-13-2008, 03:16 PM

I love it for the most part but i only have 2 problems with it

-how fast the ship moves
-how far the bullets go

i hardly pressed up and went flying into an asteroid lol, and the bullets go to far - if an asteroid is behind you, you dont even have to turn around you can just shoot the opposite direction and it would come out of the other side of the screen and blow it up lol.

christianroker · 07-13-2008, 11:09 PM

sweet i love this game

Hawthorne · 07-14-2008, 05:06 AM

Hmm, from the screenshots it looks like the asteroids just move left/right and not around their own center of gravity as I remember it, also, setting the original colors, speed, shooting of the game would make this game superb!

Also, is naming it Asteroids gonna give you some problems?

mikem709 · 07-14-2008, 09:42 AM

I know! you can call it hemoroids!

soccerfreak24 · 07-14-2008, 10:10 AM

cool game, but u move 2 fast.... especially if u hold up it Goes INSANE... lol

DiNoGames · 07-14-2008, 10:34 AM

Tried it today... like all the others said... its a nice game, but movement makes it unplayable.... please decrease acceleration to a moderate value.

shutout5591 · 07-14-2008, 01:22 PM

Thanks for all the positive feedback. So what I understand is:

SLOW DOWN THE SHIP!!!

So, I will do that. Expect a release in a bit.

EDIT: I made some changes, link is updated

ShotgunSnipist · 07-14-2008, 02:34 PM

Rapidshare?
Why not...
Plunder
Wikisend
woofiles
etc?

shutout5591 · 07-14-2008, 02:53 PM

Theres nothing wrong with rapidshare. If u looked at what I wrote directly above the link, it say u DONT WAIT because I take teh traffic hit, called TrafficShare

Has anybody got the new version. Let me know so I know how it went.

soccerfreak24 · 07-14-2008, 02:56 PM

I'll get the new one now. Post what I think when I get a chance..

Scrapz616 · 07-14-2008, 02:58 PM

Alright I'm downloading the new version, so far it's been a fun game.
Good job, keep up the good work.

ShotgunSnipist · 07-14-2008, 03:18 PM

Well, my problem with rapidshare is you can only download every 100 minutes. And since EVERYONE uses rapidshare... Lame.

anyway, GREAT game!
Love it now that it is slowed down a bit.

Shutout, if you want I can host it for you on my website for free. Just pm me, that way if people dont want rapidshare they can use mine.

I recall a discussion on one of your threads about people having to use RAR. If people have to have a program that supports RAR archives to use one of your games, it should be perfectly fine for people to have to use RapidShare if that is the way Shutout wants it.

cataldo · 07-14-2008, 09:46 PM

omg..
You dont know how much i love you

rockafeller · 07-15-2008, 09:16 AM
