Aster! Drift

ASTER! DRIFT // FIRST MOVEMENT

You are a drift. Not a ship.

WASD / Arrows to thrust. Mouse to steer. Hold Right to follow. Click / Space to shoot. Collect blue and gold orbs (+10), blast asteroids (+20). Crash = -15 + invincibility flash.

No levels. Endless field. 400 stars. 12 orb spawns. Asteroids fall every 2s from the edge with real momentum. Your trail is 12 points of light — #7dd3fc.

Audio is all WebAudio — sine bleeps from ff[] scale [261,293,329,392,440,523,587,659]. Collect pings an octave. No mp3s.

One React file. One canvas. JetBrains Mono. Hold drift.

[M] mute, score saves as high.

Built for itch: one HTML.

DEVELOPER NOTES:

This build is entirely in HTML5 and based on a Unity prototype.

If you would like me to update and expand this file please consider donating.

Let me know in the comments what desired improvements or bugs you experience and we will update it for Version 2.

Aster! Drift  is free to play, if you would like to purchase the zip file you can use the source code to Aster! Drift in your projects.

In v2 we are planning to lean into the "add musical" part of the promise.  Thanks
