This is my submission to GMTK Game Jam 2026

BACKSTORY

It's lonely out there at the far reaches of the Universe. Your job is to clear asteroid belt KAPPA-07-B and the work is getting old fast. So you decided to take the matter in your own hands and have some fun!

INSTRUCTIONS

  • WAVES WILL PROCEED AUTOMATICALLY
  • DO WHAT YOU CAN TO FEED THE COUNTDOWN
  • AVOID REACHING ZERO FOR HIGH SCORE

STRATEGY

  • There are multiple ways of scoring and, more importantly, gaining time
  • Take notice of the things happening on screen
  • You cannot die, but you can run out of time which means game over
  • Nothing is really hidden…except, perhaps, a little something at the end of the known Universe

HAVE FUN

  • Best experienced full screen
  • There are 16 WAVES, and some surprises along the way
  • Go for the high score!

I have played the game successfully in Chrome browser with an Xbox Controller.
But, controller support simply does not work in Safari. 
So, please try it—with the understanding that it may not work for you. 

NOTES

  • Runs in the browser, developed as a macOS app
  • No sound until you click (that's the arcade asking for a quarter, LOL)
  • Please rate the game and leave a review if you like it

Have fun!

Cool additions to Asteroids! The feel is good, and the countdown targets give a good reason to use propulsion to actually traverse the game space. I like it
