Retrogue

As a fan of Asteroids, here’s few tips after playing several levels.

• Add some count-down sounds, like pole position.
• Shooting the object close or getting hit produces the same effects and sound. Change the sound per object and the ship.
• The upgrade system feels random when it pops up the first time.
• I would have a couple intro levels to teach the user what there is. For instance, I didn’t like the two-shooter and regretted the upgrade.
• Shake the screen when the ship gets hit.
• Maybe some objects can explode into smaller ones?
• An initial help screen with how to play.

Great game!
