How to play

Stay alive to score points. Destroy asteroids to score more points.

Time only moves when you do.

Controls

  • Left/Right arrows: rotate
  • O button/Up arrow: boost
  • X button: shoot
  • Down arrow: wait

Tips

  • Because your ship's engine is always running, time will still advance when not pressing any button (albeit slowly)
  • While bullets don't wrap around the screen, it is possible to shoot yourself if you're not careful
  • You can use your cannon's recoil to get yourself out of tight situations
  • You can make time go normally without inputting any commands by pressing the down button

About

This game is the first I made with Marave Goyave, a game collective comprised of @Scotaire, @PBES-studio and me, during a private game jam. It was made in 48-ish hours around the theme retro arcade game with a twist.

Thanks to my friends for playtesting this game ❤️

ghettobastler, btw whats ur best?

Thank you so much for your comment! I’ve been working on a post-jam version of this game for the past few days, so I’ve tweaked the difficult so many times I don’t think it’s fair to compare scores with the ones from this version. That being said, my current best right now is 7552.
