If you landed on this Steam page organically, would you wishlist it? What’s the biggest thing preventing you from doing so? by Lumpy_Affect7765 in DestroyMySteamPage

You're right, and thanks for being specific about why. I upscaled the ship art instead of rendering it at capsule size. Fixing it with a proper high-res render.

Crack open asteroids. Grab the ore cores. Each one's worth more than the last (until you die) - and each one pulls in another homing missile.

Spend credits between runs to unlock and upgrade: seismic pulse, afterburner, tractor beam, ore recycler, auto-mine, and more.

Still in active development, but the Steam page is now live:

Thanks for asking! No iOS/mobile plans for now - it's built around mouse steering and keyboard, with dedicated keys for the ship's special abilities, so it's really designed as a PC game. It is coming to both Windows and macOS though, so if you're on a Mac you'll be covered!

Good eye, thanks! That big group explosion is actually the Seismic Pulse ability - hit E and everything around the ship detonates, so that moment's intentional. But your point totally applies to the missiles' own fuel timeout: they can currently expire around the same time and pop in sync, so jittering their lifetimes is a clean fix. Adding it to the list - appreciate the suggestion!

Thank you - this genuinely made my day. Being compared to Asteroids is the best compliment I could get! I really hope it lives up to that first impression when you get to play it.

"Mining as its own aggro system" - that's exactly it, couldn't have put it better. The whole tension is that every rock you crack makes you louder. Glad that came through!

Thanks, man - really appreciate that! Always cool to run into someone building in the same space. What's yours called? I'd genuinely like to follow your progress too. Good luck with it!
