I played alone, but I think the game is really fun to play with two players. I also included it in my new "Gameplay of New ZX Spectrum Games from October 2024" video, in addition to the other ZX Spectrum games released in October.
Thank you! :-)
Good !
than you 😊
Can you add joystick support?
hi, thank you for asking.
The issue with joystick is not technical: I could add Kensington support but it will be confusing from a UX point of view.
As the Original Asteroid arcade cabinet had buttons for turning the ship clockwise and counterclockwise, the problems are with angles between 180 (pi) and 360 (2pi) when turning clockwise still is joystick left, and the user can expect otherwise.
That’s why I did not implemented Kensington support for the game.
Nice game, thanks.
thanks!
Nice game!
thanks :-)
Hello. If you want to send some of your games for review to WIDMO magazine: https://husaria-games.itch.io/widmo, you would like to be interviewed, etc., let me know at husaria.games.office@gmail.com. How can you do it? Send us the game by email, or share it on itch.io. As for the games you send, we prefer only full versions, because we can't rely on a demo to play and review something. We prefer games for every Sinclair device. But if it was to be NEXT, there is a condition that the game must run on an emulator. Best regards, the Husaria Games team
hi, of course if you like to review one (or more) of the games I made for the ZX Spectrum, feel free to choose the one you like the most (Planet war, Snakez+ or PacMan).
They are all full versions and free of charge.
Do I need to send you an e-mail, to make a contact in case if you have some questions about the game?
Yes, please
