Plasteroids
My second entry for #SeaJam (https://itch.io/jam/seajam) I unfortunately had some commitments which made me unable to finish the game on time.

Really simple, but surprisingly engaging!
Even though this is mainly based on asteroids, it feels good to play and if you decide to add more content to it I could see it pretty dope. I could imagine the turtle destroying bigger and bigger pieces of trash (full Katamari style) and fighting boss battles in space or whatever
But yeah, nice work!
Thanks a lot! I had exams during the jam so I had a few days after to work on both entries. Yes the game is based on asteroids (hence the name Plasteroids). I did want to expand on the basic asteroids concept by adding upgrades (double/triple shot, faster fire rate, more lives, etc.) and scale the max number of large trash (currently set to 8) but didn’t have time to play test to get numbers right or implement upgrades.
Nevertheless, glad you enjoyed the game and I might work on it in the future if I have time. I’ll check your game out too later, it looks really good, well done!
this developer is actually crazy. please man I have a family, they need some of my attention as well. I think my wife might leave me soon if I don't stop playing your games...
