  • Asteroid Deflector is an indie game based on simple physics. The goal is to prevent asteroids from hitting a planet by changing their course with various projectiles (shells, laser beams, atomics...) and to work with the gravity of a planet and a star. Also watch out for economics like money, weapon research, planet population and so on.

    It's my first game done in spare time - but with a lot of dedication. Expect some hours of fun and a good laugh at the goofy story. There is also an endless game mode to hunt for high scores. Please don't expect a refined, multimillion blockbuster game. I'm always open to suggestions and improvements.

    Features
    - Career mode with 12 levels.
    - Endless mode.
    - 23 technologies for research, including four distinctive weapons and a mighty planetary force field.
    - Manage money, infrastructure, population and keep the people motivated.
    - Seven (YouTube friendly) spherical songs will help you get in the flow of deflecting asteroids.
    - Atmospheric sound effects.
    - Special endgame in story mode (maybe there is more to the asteroids...).

    Gameplay
    - Simple physics-based fun.
    - Don't destroy the asteroids (lame), deflect them!
    - Asteroids burning up in the star generate money (because... why not?).
    - Expensive research will improve your weapons.
    - Impacts on the planet will decimate the population and their moral (may result in losing the game).
    - After a first learning curve, the gameplay can get quite hypnotic or meditative.
    - Unlimited continues in career mode, saves are done after each level.
    - It's all about gravity, mass and kinetic energy - but in a fun way!

    FAQ
    * Is the game done?
    - It is, but expect some early quirks and inconvenient close after the release (March 2018) - that's why the early price is on the lower end. Also I’m planning to add MacOS and Linux release, more features, content and refine it a bit. Wait for touch controls and full controller support e.g.
    * So there will be DLC?
    - More content, like another campaign, is possible - depending on sales. In that case it will be part of an update of the main game (so free of charge). But I might raise the initial price, which would reward early buyers.
    * I will wait until it is on sale or bundled.
    - I might put it on sale, but only right after a price increase. So the price can only go up (why would I punish early birds?). And I don't like bundles.
    * Is this a mobile port?
    - No, but I may port it to mobile (and remove some features in the base version with the "XL" in the name, in case you were wondering).
    * A space cannon would never work!!!1
    - First of all - it's just a game. And maybe a search for "Project HARP" might suprise you.
