Planetary Asteroid Defense System
Planetary Asteroid Defense System (PADS)
"NASA's not the only one smashing multi-billion dollar satellites into asteroids to defend the earth."
Play as the Planetary Asteroid Defense System (PADS for short) and protect the planet we call home. Knock asteroids off course by ramming your multi-billion dollar self into them. And then do it again and again because you're surprisingly sturdy. If you fail, know that the entire earth will be obliterated. No pressure.
Created in under 48 hours (actually under 24 hours) for the Ludum Dare 51 competition with the theme of every 10 seconds. The game fits that theme as a new asteroid approaches every 10 seconds, but the acceleration and mass of each is greater than the last. All code, art, and sound were created by myself during the jam aside from some basic libraries and the Unity game engine.

Great Idea! Easy to understand and fun to play. You have to hold down the left mouse button most of the time, maybe it's a bit more comfortable to play with keyboard.
Nice
"They'rrrrre great" I whispered as I settled down into my nightly vat of Frosted Flakes and slightly curdled milk, one percent of course. The only true way to spend an evening in the multi-million dollar bathroom of my multi-million dollar estate built off the diligence of embezzlement and intersection fraud. I took up my mobile phone to ponder my options. What to do during this time, to occupy my brilliant mind and its brilliant worries? "Crash the market? No, it's not time yet." I muttered pensively to white washed walls, perusing the internet intelligently. Then I saw it. The Planetary Asteroid Defense System. Some fanciful internet game that I almost dismissed before skimming its description. "your multi-billion dollar self", it read. Ah. This I could get behind. I needn't read more, for it had said all that could ever be needed to say. Finally, a new height. A new me. True leisure. "My multi-billion dollar self" I chanted as the night drew on, delighting me with the self-affirming responsibility of Planetary Asteroid Defense System.
