3D Asteroids

Sure its great but couldn't be arsed to go through the tutorial. You should allow people to have a stab at it if they want to.

Gorgeous vector look. Enough to make the laborious training sequence bearable in anticipation of actually playing it. Unfortunately, I was distracted from my training by the 'tick-tick' of my drive accommodating the installation of scores of ubiquitous files in my preferences folder, repeated failed attempts on my iCal framework and the miraculous (and, thankfully, interrupted) copying of my entire home folder into a new unprotected folder with a similar name in my drive's users folder. Forgive my cynicism, but things got awfully busy in the background whilst the poor, dumb user here was concentrating on the unusual prescribed training scenario. Watch out, fellas! Perhaps someone with more skill interpreting console reports could verify what I experienced. If so, another security update could be in order. If not, wish I could enjoy those lovely vector graphics with the rest of you (and passing apologies to the authors). Love to stay and chat, but I'm having too much fun tracking down all these new files on my system... Running 10.3.9 on a G3 with Filevault active

A great idea, but it needs a lot of work. The worst problem with this game is that once you actually start playing it, it is almost impossible to shoot an asteroid. The lasers only seems to shoot a small distance. In addition, controlling the ship is an almost impossible task. Yes, it has the same characteristics of what it would be like to fly in space, however, the controls should make it easier, not more difficult. Should be able to bypass parts of training if you want.

After finally making it through the training and playing... Just to be clear on my reasons for wanting to skip the tutorial... taking more than 2 seconds to show me that a ship moves left when the right thruster is turned on, then left when the right thruster is on, then forward when the rear thruster is on and backward when the forward thrusters are on is not helpful nor is it entertaining. The interface for moving the ship around is *incredibly* difficult. A mouse-based interface would have been better.

Blah. I gave up before I even had a chance to play this thing. The forced training is way to slow, to laborious with a lot of reading and not fun. From the screenshot though I can say one thing about my assumptions on the interface. It looks like it is going to be painful to play :) I'd like to see an alternate version with a SINGLE window view to space accompanied with a radar heads-up display showing all the asteroids surrounding you. Hopefully the author will remove the training requirement and I can actually try this game out.
