Astro Escape: a free pixel-art asteroid game where everyone plays the same route each day (iOS, solo dev)

Wait 5 sec.

Hi! I’m João, and I built Astro Escape on my own over the last few months. It’s a pixel-art arcade game: you tilt your phone (or use your finger) to steer a small ship through falling asteroids, and tap anywhere to shoot. The hook: everyone plays the same route. Each run follows a route that decides where every rock falls. The route of the day, week and month is the same for every player, so a leaderboard score means you beat other people on the exact same field. You can also share a route code with a friend and face identical rocks. What’s in it Rocks that pay differently (basalt, iron, rare ice) and boulders that crack before they break 8 weapons (TWIN, SPREAD, RICOCHET, SPLITTER, LASER…) and power-ups: SUPERNOVA, MAGNET, SHOCKWAVE Ships to collect from achievements, crystals or the daily gift, plus Game Center leaderboards for each ship Original chiptune music and sound effects English, Portuguese and Spanish, on iPhone and iPad Monetisation, to be upfront: it’s free with ads. There are no in-app purchases. Weapons and ships are bought with crystals you earn by playing.

What’s today’s route like for you?   submitted by   /u/JoaoPinhoSolutions [link]   [comments]
