Sunblaztor by bladderbloat

[raw]
made by bladderbloat for LD30 (JAM)
This is what I came up with on the afternoon, my first solo game ever! The theme is vaguely there, I just really wanted to make something in space exploding with music.

Your mission is to protect our wonderful sun.

Left mouse - Shoot like crazy

W - Move forward

S - Move back


Also, be sure to collect the power ups because then you will cause alot more explosions.

Hope you have fun!

Not so innovative concept, but the game is well playable and highly polished.

Glad it works! The html version lags like crazy for myself, I have no idea why.. must be all the physics?

I liked it! Felt it was a bit easy towards the start and much easier once I worked out I could hold the mouse down. Pretty well polished. I liked the story bit at the start a greater variety of asteroid colours might have been nice but I feel that might have detracted from the "iron asteroid" idea. I like the music and the sound. Controls felt a bit stiff but I guess that ship is bloody massive so it makes up for it ;D. Good game overall! Nice one.

Solid game, a little bit of screen shake would have gone a long way to making the explosions and the shots feel meatier

Fantastic music! Adds to a good mood. The ship does move slightly slow, however.

I actually played a few levels before I realized I could move and then is was like a whole other game =) Really cool take on a simple shooter.
