A downloadable game for Windows

Hi, this is an early version of this game! Download might require some extra dlls, comment if you have any issues and I can help you with that. I would appreciate if you could leave some feedback on game feel. I'm not sure if the enemies/player are too small, the player seems hard to find sometimes. I think the health system is too easy to not die for a while, but then randomly you'll get 1 shot. I don't really like that but let me know. Thanks :)

Known bugs:

  • Enemies don't collide with asteroids
  • Player can sometimes get inside of the asteroids
  • There is a band about 1/3 of the middle of the screen that draws the tiles differently than the edges?? They are slightly smushed...

I saw your falling sand game vids, which by the way have been a great inspiration, and I've been making my own since. I really enjoy seeing the progression of regolith and am stuck in anticipation for every upcoming devlog. 

Do you mind me asking though, why you stopped? I'd love to see you make (and teach) more mechanics for falling sand games, for which I have quite a few in mind: explosions, particle velocity, "timed" cell behaviors, etc.

Although truthfully I have a good idea of how to make these effects and have even seen other creators do it, but it would be interesting to see your take on it.

mac?

I used my own engine for this so if someone writes the Mac platform code it will work :)

There only needs to be a MacWindow and MacMouse/Keyboard and everything else should work, but I haven't spent anytime looking at that unfortunatly.

This is a really fun demo! I really like the art style. Some sort of tutorial would be nice. Overall really fun game though!

hey, when I play the game error pop up (The program can't start because of XINPUT1_4.dll is missing) it's okay but I'm just saying, and I wanted to give you a game idea, can you make a game something like Avatar?  bending stuff water, rock, air, and stuff, because SandBox has good stuff for that.

hmm I wonder if I am supposed to pack that with my game... I'll look into it thanks for letting me know. I could try and add some more sand things to this game only the bullets are sand :( maybe the asteroids could have something inside them. I'll see after I polish this base game
