My entry is a modern-ish take on classic Asteroids, playable on a single screen. How long can you stay alive among increasing amounts of asteroids and aliens, all the while collecting as much gold as possible?
Controls and credits are displayed on the main screen.
I created the game using the Game Jam Trial of Unity, though in reality I didn't do anything that wouldn't have easily been done with the regular free version. Therefore, it shows the trial version text in the bottom right corner. I made most of the sounds in BXFR, except for the 2 "voice" sounds, which I found on freesound.org. The music was pulled from Incompetech.com(by Keven MacLeod, an awesome composer.) The graphics were all made by me within the 3 days, using Blender.
All in all, I'm proud of the project. This is the first time I had sat and forced myself to do something beyond a quick test or two with Unity, and though it has quirks, I'd say it works. Enjoy the product!!

Fun Entry, but I had some issues being blown up by asteroids outside the screen when I was flying across the screen.
Sorry about Chrome, it may have a problem with "unknown" files, or generally with Dropbox. You could try another browser if you wanted.
Also, thanks for the feedback so far.
I found the keys a little too sensitive, so I would overrotate past a small asteroid.
The graphics and sounds are awesome. That said, mouse controls would make it even better.
Nice job, solid update of Asteroids. Controls were a bit too fast/sensitive, but overall good stuff.
I really liked this one. The lighting effects were a nice touch. I also like the forgiving controls and the added drops of the asteroids were interesting.
The rotation is too sensitive, other than that it worked well. I liked the 3D assets
Very nice. I thought the size of the craft made it really difficult to see and avoid things on the edge, but otherwise really solid little asteroid game.
Good job, it played really smooth and i love to blast away asteroids in piezes
I really like the additions to the controls! I suddenly wondered why I thought the space ship behaved like a car and then realized that I could go in reverse. Strange when you think about it that this is such a strange concept for space ships. A bit hard, but then I always find asteroids quite hard. Great work!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I like this game - it's a lot of fun and the graphics and sounds are awesome. That said, mouse controls would make it even better.
