Asteroid Belt by Carris
This game is a homage to old school arcade space shooters with a twist on the controls. You're stuck in the gravitational pull of the asteroid belt, slowly trying to build up speed to escape the loop of the orbit. However, with each speed increase it becomes harder to dodge the incoming asteroids. While there are a few tweaks that could be made, I'm proud of what I made. Please give it a try! :smile:

I really like where you were going with this but I couldn't make any progress unfortunately any attempt to move just a bit and my ship shot entirely off screen and I died. I never saw an asteroid or experienced any gravity but based on the description I suspect this was working pretty well a few days ago and was and is probably really fun. Id like to see an update with much slower ship speed, but regardless thanks for submitting this game! I love the pixel art and the presentation of the whole game too! P.S. If you are in the mood make the new game jingle skippable or just start the player moving while the jingle plays. :) Thanks again!
