Haul Asteroid

Catch Asteroid - Haul Asteroid - Grind Asteroid. A simple, minimal game that is difficult to master. Chaotic movements from the double pendulum + varied weights of asteroids require intuition and focus. My first published game + story by my son. Hard but addictive. Two great songs!

About the Game

Catch Asteroid - Haul Asteroid - Grind Asteroid

A simple, minimal game that is difficult to master. Chaotic movements from the double pendulum + varied weights of asteroids require intuition and focus.
My first published game + characters designed by my son. Hard but addictive. Two great songs.

LATEST LEVEL ADDED: GRAB ASTEROID!! Now asteroids fly by from all directions - You must chase one down and drag or throw it into the grinder. Avoid the other flying asteroids which can knock you off course or use them to bang another asteroid into the grinder!

Features:
• Simple & minimal yet challenging & addictive!
• A 99¢ game you can play forever!
• Double pendulum game play!
• Experience all 3 of Newton's Laws of Motion!
• Rocket-powered Tardigrade!

You are a mutant Tardigrade - a bizarrely resilient micro-animal that has been massively enlarged via CRISPR gene editing and fitted with rockets and a double-pendulum entanglement beam to mine asteroids. Haul the asteroids into the grinder without grinding yourself and make BILLIONS!

Each asteroid will have random rotation and mass(from very light to massive) which makes them behave differently when connected to a moving player. To start, the asteroids are easiest and become more challenging as your score increases. Later sparkling asteroids are chaotic, very difficult and very lucrative.

Super simple controls:
Fly by WASD/ Arrow keys or XBOX thumbstick.
Toggle Energy Beam ON and OFF with space bar or XBOX A.

S.N.O.R.B.I.C.E G.L.U.N.K. TARDIGRADE :
Super Normal Organism. Regular Biotraits: Intact. Crispr: Extreme.
Glial Level Upgrade: Need to Know.

Additional languages included are Hindi and Indonesian. Game and music by solo developer. Released on Steam, iOS & Android
