Little hard to rate the Fun factor playing against myself. An interesting little game. Almost an odd mix of real-time (ie asteroids keeps moving) and turn based play. Sfx would have been great just to give the lasers/bombs a bit of grunt.
Agh sorry I can't rate this game because I don't have anyone to play it with :(
Not my cup of tea... Great graphics, but as soon as wall of text comes up I just throw my hands up. Never did like turn based tactical combat...
Kudos for an interface that was recognisable though. Sliders, buttons... But they weren't logically flowing, it felt. Go to the right, then back up then go down again... Not super intuitive.
nice turn based strategy, better if it was online multiplayer
Interesting game. Sometimes wish the gravity effects were a bit more pronounced though. Some neat strategy of using the alternate weapons to push asteroids around.
Interesting idea, but there seems to be no strategy. We just started firing and the one who started also won. But the art looks good and the game is easy to understand and play. Cool option for more players, i like that.
Didn't really understand where the strategy was. If player 1 skips their first turn, player 2 will have the wrong ships pulsing. No indication of whether or not I could "unselect" a ship if I decided to change my mind. Didn't seem like I could.
I could see this being better with some more time into it. Developing the strategy of pushing asteroids around, using gravity in some interesting ways.
Nice game. The game feels very polished and nice mechanics. Really liked this one. Me and my friend had alot of fun.
Really nice! Reminds me a bit of chess: You're powerless as the other guy destroys all your pieces on their turn. NIce job! FUn to play with a friend.
This idea was great. Had myself a Me vs I run. I wish you included weapon characteristics on mouse overs. I don't quite understand the purpose of gas clouds since players are supposed to be watching on one screen. Is it intended for mass battles?
Nice use of gravity ! Are the maps randomly generated ? Good job
Good overall, with some really nice little details (such as the asteroids moving in real time)
Really didn't think much of the UI,and the big yellow splash screens between each round though. After the first time I thought they would stop being displayed, but its not really a big deal.
Background assets were hot though, so well done on the artwork!
I do wish that gravity effected the ships too though, perhaps even only when they're moving. It would help with the players hiding from eachother, and help the game universe feel a little more consistent.
Really good overall though, well done!
The mechanics is cool! And the turn based strategy game reminds me playing paper game in my childhood, the game also control aircraft to shoot the enemy, but the different part is firing bullets with sliding pencil. Ah, good old days. :P
Interesting game! The asteroids and black holes actually really gives it a strategy vibe, nice work here. :)
Too bad you don't have any sound :(
Nice to see old-school turn-based strategy game!
It would be even better if there was an AI opponent. Cause I have no friend:(
The idea is good, but it isn't too well refined. That's mostly just because of the time limit, and given that, it is good.
It seems too easy to run into things. Showing collision might help.
Downside: multiplayer, couldn't really rate it for the fun factor because of this. (Online multiplayer could make up for this)
The use of physics for the projectiles is nice, and once asteroids start moving the whole comes alive. Which feels nice for a turn based game.
A good turn based strategy game - looks polished and was fun to play!
AI would be very nice. ;-)
Good job!
Love strategy games, this one was fun. Lack of space and some awkward movements (my fault) made it a bit difficult, but overall it was good.
Cool concept, ok execution. As is, it lacks some elements to be a fun game (imo). I would love to see a full featured version of this one, hope you keep working on it.

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.
Nice One. Love the mechanics and the idea of using gravity to help shooting the other player. Perhaps the one screen theme kills the strategy of your idea because its really small to hide. Making it bigger it could be an even better game :)
