A Spiritual Successor to W:A

[Bamboy]

I need to stop with these yearly releases, buut it's that time again.

I spent quite a lot of time with front end and polish this time around. Hopefully it shows!
Overall, increased game speed and gravity.
Added a new weapon "Rocket Jumper", which is exactly how it sounds: Utilize explosions as mobility!
Also I'm experimenting with controlling grapple hook (rope) with the mouse. Let me know what you all think of that.
Non-QWERTY keyboards are now supported, as well as 4k monitors!

Random levels are now a thing too:

Breaking the yearly mould! It's another update!

Last week I had a successful multiplayer game with 6 people! I'm ecstatic to bring it to you all!
While not fully finished, also included in this build is WIP rope wrapping logic:



The majority of this update, however, is multiplayer and misc polishing!
Windows tray will flash when it is your turn and the game isn't selected, and I added keybind presets to the options menu, for those who have been requesting controls similar to W:A. The game also no longer requires a mandatory restart after a match is finished! Jumping behaves much more like it does in W:A too.

I fell into the yearly release hole again, but I'm still slowly chipping away at this project!

Update v0.5.0.213

The most prominent feature of this release is the introduction of multiplayer matchmaking! Now when looking for a game to join you no longer need to know the server's IP - a list of available game servers is sent to you instead.

There are far too many changes to list here, so go look at the changelog: https://bamboy.itch.io/asteroidians/devlog/463057/multiplayer-matchmaking-asteroidains-release-v050213 (That changelog took me like two hours to write, lol)
