Astenroids by GuillaumeGwi

[raw]
made by GuillaumeGwi for LD27 (COMPO)
This is a game like asteroids except in here there are no asteroids, only you... and your past clones...

Every now and then a clone of you is created replicated your old movement and actions... you must stay alive but it's an easy easy game.

You can rewind time at any time, even if you loose !

The goal is to make the maximum score, even if it's illimited game... You gain score by keeping you alive every seconds and you can gain points when killing an old you (no space time continuum breaking concerns for now !)

If you want you can personalize difficulty just open level1.xml in the folder media and change the values in the Difficulty tag (move speed, rotation speed, fire interval, spawn interval and fire move speed).

This is my first LD, i didn't have time to make sound or graphics... :(

Controls:

Arrows key : move your ship (squary thingy like)
Ctrl : shoot a magnific projectile (one shot kill no kidding)
Shift : rewind time
Shift + Up or Down : change rewind speed
P : pause
Escape : Quit
Enter : Start

It was done with SFML and tinyxml2.

Enjoy and rate please !

Oh yeah,you're right. We came up with a very similar idea executed in very different ways.

Nice, although I found it quite difficult to move around.

Really great game. At first it seems difficult but in fact when you understand what you do, it's cool. I like the rewind idea.

*Woppity* (expression of surprise), I dont expect that game really. The mechanics are really well putted in the game, are twice challenging and controllable... I like too much.
Lacks of audio, 8-bit music and sfx might be great.
I have fun with your game. Congratz and happy Ludum Dare!

Overall solid game. Interesting concept (even though I've seen it done before in previous 48h comps). Really good first ludum dare attempt.

Interesting idea. The character doesn't seem to slow down though.

I managed to get up to 530 points. Very clever time-travel mechanics.

Extremely interesting concept. I liked it a lot!

some sound of when the clone was coming or a more obvious timer, so that it doesnt spawn inside of me would have been nice.
