That day I got lost in an asteroid field

In this game you get to explore asteroid belt on your small, but quite capable space ship. Navigate carefully, as those asteroids still full of deadly contraptions and old defensive systems that see you as a viable target. Also, never forget that space ships are not equipped with breaks!

This game is a result of an improvised game jam I devised for myself. Plan was to take a year and see how far it gets me. And while I could not finish as much as I wanted, I find that I've done enough. The game contains three rather spacious levels, a boss boss battle, couple of guns. Also producing sound effects for it was a real journey. Turns out making those not annoying is an art.

In the conclusion I would like to point out that I still consider this game more of a prototype. I had planned much more: more guns, more enemies, more levels. I couldn't finish everything I had in mind, but that's how life works. I still got valuable experience. I hope I can utilize that experience for my future projects and make something bigger and better.

Please, enjoy the game.
