A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Asteritos is an Asteroids clone made for the Gosu Game Jam 5. While the core concept of Asteroids is in the game it does have some different design choices here and there.

How To Play

Native Binaries

Experimental binaries for Windows and Linux are available, they are made with a wrapper that uses MRuby and the mrbgem mruby-gosu, feel free to check them out!

Note for Windows users: the executable may be flagged as virus by your antivirus software so you'd probably will have to add it to the 'exceptions' list or equivalent for your preferred antivirus.

Note for MacOS users: The Gatekeeper may disable this app from executing, so you'll need to disable it.

Ruby

  1. Download Ruby for your platform (Windows, MacOS or Linux).
  2. Install all the requirements for Gosu (MacOS or Linux).
  3. Invoke bundle install on the root of the source code, and then rake to run the game.
