Cluttered Space by Bart Moon

[raw]
made by Bart Moon for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

A small arcade, not so serious, crazy zero-g physics game.

You are drifting through the endless space inside of an inovative spacecraft that operates with just one button press. Only thing you have to do in this game is to just press the button every time it lights up green, the thing is though... every 10 seconds your screen will become more and more cluttered. Try to press the button as many times as possible before all of your engines blow up! Find your way to the button through all sort of things including brutal aliens, insidious cacti, wild scredrivers and much more...

Bugs are expected to be part of the game, please excuse me the technical state, I made this game as a learning experience on creating smaller scope games, because I had only about 17h of free time. Feedback is of course encouraged anyway!

Enjoy the game, share your highscores!

This is actually a solid submission! It's super simple but it works really well. The graphics look great and the zero gravity with the random g-forces is really cool. Also, the green spotlight at the end is just evil >:)

@hawke-games correclty describe my experience. Putting the room in the dark was a also good idea: searching the button with all the object to obstruct it was fun.

I love being surrounded by random objects as I franticly smash my hand around hoping to hit the button that stops my ship from exploding. Good job

I liked it but I managed to slap the button off the screen and that's game over. You might want to fix that if you are planning to work on it some more.

@david-broz Thank you for playing and for the comment. I am aware of the issue with the button going off-screen. I am not planning to work on this game post jam though. Hope you enjoyed the game despite the issue.

I'll just drop it here in case Kuvi wants to chase highscore ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

really fun idea :D but sadly I had huge trouble playing it :( It doesn't seem to like my graphics card so it lags down to like 1-2 fps. Really nice presentation tho.

Fun idea, it starts off at a slow pace though. The objects don't seem to really impede you much, I only had trouble when I visually lost track of the button entirely.
