Asteroid Search

Gameplay

The game starts you in a tutorial, which explains the controls and the mechanics. When you jump into the game, you'll need to figure out how to use all the available bricks (which are scattered around the island), to build a powerful plane able to explore the other asteroids. There are 11 treasures to be collected and you can find maps which point you to them. To find the maps, you'll have to explore, keep your eyes open for anything that looks 'interesting'.

A little background if you're interested:

Asteroid Search is the third iteration on an exploration game I've been wanting to make for a long time.

In its current state, this really is a prototype, in which I have temporarily let go of both the detailed terrain (as seen here) and fact that the world was endless and procedural. I did this because the gameplay was lacking and I really loved the lego-like crafting mechanic in Astroneer.

So the world, the 'lego bricks', the visuals, the limited sound, it's all placeholder really, I focussed on the gameplay and while it's mostly a relaxing, exploration game, if you do everything right you can find all 11 treasures in under an hour.
