### 5/5 — Asteroids

*2022-11-09*

A fairly decent remake of Asteroids. Works just fine on my Intel Mac Mini running OS10.13 Ventura.

### 5/5 — 반가운 ‘Meteor Field’

*2021-12-07*

반가운 ‘Meteor Field’

예전부터 아끼던 ‘Quantum’이라는 앱과 거의 유사한데, 지금은 최신 OS를 지원하지 않고 있어 아쉬워하고 있었습니다.
게임 자체도 재미가 있지만 수업 시간에 물리적 개념을 찾아보는 데 자주 활용해왔습니다.
관성, 상대속도, 작용과 반작용, 회전의 에너지원…

개선의 제안을 하나 더 추가한다면
Shooting을 할 때마다 우주선의 진행속도가 반대 방향으로 조금씩 감소하도록 수정되면 좋겠습니다.
총알도 질량이 있을 테니…
게임으로 위장한 공부 시간… 하하

Spacebar로 Shooting을 할 수 있는 재빠른 지원에 다시 한번 감사드립니다.
오늘도 좋은 하루 보내세요.

Welcome to ‘Meteor Field’

It is almost similar to the app called 'Quantum', which I have loved for a long time, but now it is a pity that the latest OS is not supported.
The game itself is fun, but I've often used it to explore physics concepts in class.
Inertia, relative velocity, action and reaction, energy sources of rotation…

If you add one more suggestion for improvement
It would be nice if it was modified so that the speed of the spaceship decreases slightly in the opposite direction every time you shoot.
Bullets also have mass...
Study time disguised as a game... haha

Thanks again for your quick support to shoot with the Spacebar.
Have a good day.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. This has been added in 1.3.5 which is available now.

### 2/5 — Uncustomizable

*2021-12-04*

Looks pretty, but with the default keyboard controls very difficult to fly and fire. And there's no option to set 'fire' to (e.g.) 'space'.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it. You’re correct that the keyboard mappings are not customisable, though I’ll certainly consider that for a future release at some point.

In the meanwhile, I’ve just uploaded 1.3.5 with the ability to fire using the space bar. That update is available now.

Separately, if you have a recent gamepad, you can also use that to play - no configuration required. PS4 controllers work for example.
