I just released my first little game! | Asteroid Sweeper: Rocky Frontier – A Classic Arcade Space Shooter

Asteroid Sweeper: Rocky Frontier

🎮 Play it here on itch.io

Asteroid Sweeper is a classic arcade space shooter inspired by the 1979 arcade game Asteroids, where you battle endless waves of asteroids and hostile UFOs to achieve the highest score possible.

The project originally began as a small university exercise intended to introduce students to the Godot game engine. The initial tasks focused on learning fundamental concepts such as object movement, dynamic object instantiation, collision handling, and the implementation of visual and audio effects.

Over time, the project gradually evolved into a personal learning journey for me, during which I focused on developing more advanced game mechanics, UI systems, as well as continuously improving the overall gaming experience.

So it became the first small game project I developed entirely on my own, without the help of any guided tutorials, which made it a significant milestone in my learning process.

Once I had a fully playable game loop, I decided to turn it into a complete experience and take the project all the way to a public release.

Constructive feedback is both welcome and appreciated 🙂
