Centroid Twin Stick Shooter WIP Thread

Defend your planet from incoming space debris. Blast asteroids, avoid collisions, use power-ups - and get a high score! This game plays like a twin-stick-shooter with a twist. All movement is “orbital.” Your ship moves in an orbit around your planet, as do the enemies. It’s a pretty neat spin on the classic space-shooter genre.

This was Orbital Defender (Now Centroid)

We have been officially accepted to PixelPop Festival in St. Louis! We would love you feedback? What type of planet would you want to see in the game?

Nice work, consider making your logo smaller and off to the corner so it’s not blocking the view.
