Station Z-52's Station Defense
-
I have shared the Station Defense arcade game from my game Station Z-52 as a separate game. I also improved the coordinates for edge warping with the ship. The game ID is:

I like this! Really addictive!
Just a few areas that may perhaps be improved:
It would be nice to see your score after you die. I’m usually so caught up in the game so I don’t have time to glance at the score while playing…
It would also be nice to have a sound playing whenever the space station is healed.
It would be nice to have an alternative button layout. At least on my pro controller, it is too easy to speed up by mistake while steering left or right. Maybe move the speed controls to A/B?
One small thing which is more a matter of taste: I keep expecting to be able to fire a bullet once the last fired bullet has disappeared instead of having to wait a small time interval. It feels like that would work better with the old school mechanics of the game? Just my opinion…
Looking at the code, I can’t help thinking that it would be easier for you to put the asteroids and the bullets in arrays and then loop over the arrays when checking for collisions. I think you can literally save hundreds of rows of code that way!

Thanks for the input @vinicity , those are some good ideas, I'll try to implement some improvements soon. I'm glad you are enjoying the game.
