Illusory Asteroids

STORY

Voyager 26, a spacecraft equipped with three drive cores; Ruby, Lapis Lazuli, and Topaz, was tasked with exploring the unusual asteroid belt found in a newly discovered solar system. Upon arrival, the illusion of passive, harmless rocks begins to fade, with some becoming hostile and alive. It also seems that changing the vessel’s drive core shifts said illusion. Survival in this treacherous environment depends on your grasp of this illusion and your skillful maneuvering.

HOW TO PLAY

WASD - movement

LMB - shoot

RMB - dash

1 - ruby drive (red)

2 - lapis lazuli drive (blue)

3 - topaz drive (yellow)

Goal of the game is to remain in game for as long as possible without hitting an active asteroid. Colliding with a dormant asteroid will not kill you. For every second you are alive, your score goes up by one point.

WASD is used for movement and LMB is used to shoot at a direction pointed by the mouse cursor.

RMB is used to dash for one second, with a cooldown of five seconds. The rectangular bar in the UI represents this cooldown.

You can swap between the drives with the number keys described above. Switching drives would cause the currently active asteroids to become dormant, while the asteroids marked with the color associated with the drive that is activated, becomes active. There is a five second cooldown between swapping drives, and this is represented in the UI with a circular bar. You can destroy active asteroids but you cannot destroy dormant ones.
