Asteroid Lander Update #1 - New Sexy HUD!

It was time we updated the old, ugly heads up display. Now in sweet opaque green! (Inspired from a car dashboard display)

With the new HUD we wanted to make it as compact as possible while still displaying all the information from before. We fused the HUD elements into three panels that slide neatly in and out of view. Most importantly, the clock is now below the dialog box and they move as one piece, letting the player see more of the game world.

Also the astronaut's oxygen meter is now a slick circle thingie.

Hi!

We are team Hammerspace and this is our developer blog.

Our first "for real" game project has started. It is a single player game for mobile devices.
In the game the fate of the world is threatened by asteroids hurling towards Earth.
Your mission is to land on the asteroid, find a weak spot and plant the bomb. Then you must escape and detonate the rock from the sky.
However, the asteroid is teeming with bloodthirsty evil monsters, whose unfortunate fate is to stand between you and your goal.
Levels are circular, procedurally generated and possessing real physics.
And there will be much much more.

Welcome to our blog.
