SPACETROIDS by newtinn
SPACETROIDS is a game where the more enemies killed/higher score you get, the less space there is. Use Arrow keys or WASD to move and SPACE to shoot. Try and shoot the enemies and stop the walls by moving by going against them - you can use this to your advantage.

Nice retro graphics and sound, but the difficulty was a bit too high
Would have been good to be able to control with mouse and hold space to shoot continuously, Otherwise great!
But once you beat about 40 enemies and the map does not get smaller, the number of spawning enemies is very low (Do you let them spawn and get destroyed instantly if they are out of the map?)
You applied the theme to asteroids, but to me it does not really work out. The gameplay does not motivate very long, especially in "late game".
Maybe some explosions for the enemies would have been nice. Also some bonus items for different/stronger weapons as well as new types of enemies and maybe some mechanism to be able to temporarily grow the map again. Like some items you have to collect to prevent the edges from crushing you...
Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam!
