My work on the second campaign is progressing - expect the first part it in the next version 1.05, if no major bugs pop up. Today 1.04 includes: - Ingame menu redone, now also shows short keys - Different mouse cursors implemented, like a nice crosshair (can be deactivated if not wanted) - The manual had some broken graphics in 1.03, this has been fixed Enjoy!

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.
