MSOIDS
Description official descriptions
MSOIDS is a shooter game based on the Asteroids formula. The player controls a small cannon which he can move around with the keyboard, using the mouse to blast the square asteroids which split into smaller ones when shot. When the cannon is hit by an asteroid, it's game over. Occasionally, a pickup appears which grants the player temporary invulnerability, allowing to destroy asteroids by touch.
The game's graphics have a simple, MS Paint style. The colors change with every new game, and can be changed in mid-game by pressing Space.

Average score: 2.6 out of 5 (based on 4 ratings with 1 reviews)
Incredible injustice in some of these ratings, this is a gem honestly
The Good
We're here because we love games, right? So we have to acknowledge outstading performance. This was made in 4 hours and honestly I'd watch a 20 hour long series about the thought processes behind the choices. In list form:
- Perfect design. The music, artstyle, user experience, it all complements one another in a fantastical way.
- It's incredibly fun. I remember playing this in the dark with 3 pr 4 non-photosensitve friends, swapping every death and trying to beat the highscore, it's perfect for that.
The Bad
- Doesn't have an ending (it may be bad according to some people)
- It gets repetitive after some time... but for me, I have played this for much more time than what went into programming it, which is honestly awesome.
The Bottom Line
Perfect little game for it's scope, I'd like anyone to try and do better. As Civvie11 would say: this game fucks!
