How It's Made

Devnotes

I can't believe WebGL worked first try.

Also, my first 48 hour game jam with time to spare. Can tell I've improved at game dev and programming. Satisfied with this :)

my best was 1672. score felt slightly rng-based but maybe thats just me

Unfortunately you’re absolutely right haha. The system that decides which asteroids spawn is unique from the score system, so there are some asteroids that are simply better for your score (it’s the big ones!) Didn’t have enough time to figure out a solution though. Will rework it in a future update probably.
