It's a flash game, so it should work on everything.

Whoo, second LD and first time submitting something! I didn't get as much done as I wanted to, but I think I'm going to continue this little idea for the rest of the week. I found myself playing it for hours today, and there's only three event types so far...

Based on the theme "An Unconventional Weapon", my game is called Shield Burst First, and the weapon is your spaceship! Even though there are only asteroids right now, the idea was to battle other ships with your own, smashing into their shields and knocking them into asteroids. I have to work on the collision avoidance for the other ships, but here's what I got done in the 72 hours:

- infinite starmap to explore
- player controls and splitting asteroids in battle mode
- three events (asteroid field, extra fuel, extra shields)
- two music tracks (yeah!)

The game is fully playable, though not very interesting right now. Achievements like removing all asteroids (by smashing into them) and getting the full 14 shields are what I had fun doing, but the story peters out without a satisfying ending... for now...
