Thanks guys! :)

Nice little clone. If I could change anything I would make the ship rotate a bit faster, but I suppose the original game was like that. Also it would be nice to have a "thrust" animation and sound.

Thanks, I agree about the rotation, I will look at that for the next update, I used to have a thrust animation on the ship but I had a problem with it, I think I may have found the solution though so will look into putting that back in!

Thanks for your suggestions, I'm now publishing the latest version on the Chrome web store so for the latest version go to..

Hi Kodeandgame

Thanks for your kind words about Meteor Blast!..

Collisions..

The collisions are indeed present, But I have also noticed it is sometimes difficult to hit the smaller rocks with your laser, although I can crash into them easily enough!!, I will probably address this in an update by increasing the collision box around the smaller objects.

Chrome Web Store..

Its pretty easy to upload stuff there, you have to pay $5 for a developer licence, but thats all, theres no approval process, once you publish something, its live! The good thing about it is when you upload an update, users who have installed the game into Chrome get the update straight away, they dont need to re-download or re add it to Chrome!

The banner is one Scirra provide once you publish a game in the arcade (think you have to have a certain number of points before you can use it)

Hope that answers your questions, and let me know if you want to know anything else.

cheers

Hi Rory,

Yes, there are three stages of rocks, they start large, then you get a medium sizeed one then finally a small sized one, admittedly the smaller ones are more difficult to hit! The movement in the game is the same as the original Asteroids game, in fact I borrowed the code from one of the example scripts that come with Contruct 2, and it can take a while to master, I find small thrust movements are best and the use of turning in the opposite direction and applying thrust to slow down.. Practice makes perfect I guess! Glad you enjoyed the game :)

Version 1.6 Now online featuring SHIELDS!

Hi,
