Absolutely fantastic game, definitely one of my top favorites of the competition. I think to call it an “asteroids variant” is a bit of an understatement — while the graphics are certainly Asteroids-inspired, the gameplay hearkens more to me of Star Control, Escape Velocity, or Privateer. I really enjoy that genre of games, and thoroughly enjoyed collecting my minerals here. The game makes me wish I could sell them off for money or upgrades. I liked how the enemy ships could blow up on the planets just like you could — to get a high score, I found that was by far the easiest way to do combat, and as such, I nary fired a shot. I would sometimes find myself getting lost in space, traveling for what seemed like minutes without ever seeing a planet or another ship. As such, either a more consistent scattering of planets, or a radar map would have helped, but that’s one of the few faults I find with the game. I think it’s great the time that you took to set up an online high score server — I don’t know how that gels with the rule of “no online loading of resources”, but I honestly hope they would let stuff like this slide (and even encourage it) — along with the ability to land on planets and collect resources, the high scoring was my other favorite part of the game. All told, well done!
