Star Slider

This is a simple game I made from scratch using nothing but vanilla JavaScript. I did use Knockout.js to bind the buttons, but the underlying game engine is entirely my design.

You play as a small ship tasked with collecting valuable green "coins". Use the WSAD keys to control your four RCS thrusters and carefully navigate the zero-G environment. Remember: there's no drag in space! Watch out for the dangerous red "bombs", they will take away your health until your ship is destroyed! If you sustain damage, chase down one of the blue "repair drones" to replenish your health.

Tips

Coins and bombs always move in straight lines.

A gentle tap is all it takes. Holding down a direction key will just make your ship faster and harder to control.

Know how the edges work. Your ship bounces off the map's edges. Coins also bounce. Bombs and drones wrap around.

Fuel usage is a just-for-fun feature and does not affect the gameplay or score. Fuel is consumed whenever a thruster is firing.
