Erekor's Asteroids is Finished (for now)

It is Finished

Hi Nathaniel here and I wanted to announce that my game Erekor's Asteroids is now complete.
After leaving the game broken for a few months I have finally gotten back to complete the game by fixing the major bug that was ruining the Normal and Hard difficulties. I would like to apologise for leaving the game broken but I've been busy with college work and I am now an uncle so I am sorry for that. The link to download and play the game is at the bottom of this page.

Originally in Version 1.3 when you went on either Normal or Hard difficulty the spawner object (for the asteroids) would spawn more of the standard (larger) asteroids as soon as there were no more standard asteroids in the level, even if there were small asteroids flying around. This made it very annoying when playing on these difficulties as you were easily overwhelmed by the sheer number of asteroids.

Now in Version 1.4 more asteroids are only created when all asteroids in the level are destroyed. This is a massive improvement as it makes it so that the player is not being overwhelmed mere minutes after starting to play, since it takes only a few seconds to destroy all asteroids.

Another part of this update is that the small asteroids have been made faster as to give the game a slight increase in the games difficulty curve, this is not as big of a change but overall it makes the game slightly harder for the player to get a very high score.

I am planning on implementing a scoring system however that will take a while since this game is offline and will potentially need to have an internet connection and server created for comparing scores to other players.
Other than that I currently have no plans to continue the game apart from a potentially insane difficulty which will just have considerably faster moving asteroids and only one life. This won't take long to do but I am busy with college work and personal things such as becoming an uncle!
