A 'Matter' of Worlds by DavidErosa
There! my 8th Ludum Dare in a row :D
Wow, controls are the most time consuming thing to get right! As always, I struggled with them a good amount of hours.
*** HISTORY ***
So, here's the story: There are 4 worlds made of different matters that cannot get in
touch because "people say that it'd explode". A generic villain heard this and wanted to try, just in case he could destroy... you know, the universe. He has scattered crystals of matter all around the 4 worlds and deployed his evil army of ships to prevent you from stopping his plans.
Try to get all the crystals and don't get destroyed!
*** CONTROLS ***
The game is playable with Gamepad (XBox 360 tested, more should work) and Keyboard+Mouse.
Keyboard+Mouse:
- Mouse forward-backward: Move the ship up and down.
- Mouse left-right: Turn the ship around.
- Mouse Left button: Fire
- Mouse Right button: Tractor beam.
- ASDW: Thrust, Break, strafe left and right.
Gamepad:
- Left Stick: Up, Down, turn left and right.
- Right Stick: Strafe left and right.
- Button A: Fire
- Button B: Tractor beam
- Left Trigger: Break.
- Right Trigger: Thrust.
*** FINAL WORDS ***
The controls can be a bit clumsy sometimes, but I hope that if you get them, you'll enjoy the game :)
Also, I totally forgot about the music and didn't even had the time to use autotracker.py :(

As already mentioned, the lack of a reticle was probably my biggest issue.
I still plan on making the controls more intuitive for the post jam version. Anyway I really enjoyed it. Cheers!!!
