Space Miner
A one-screen arcade game where you dig asteroids for ore before your oxygen runs out.
Play it
Arrow keys to move, space to mine, R to restart
This game is played with a keyboard, so it works best on a computer. On a phone you can still watch it run, but you won't be able to move.
What was hard, what I learned
The mining physics broke every time I changed the grid size, so I rewrote it three times before I stopped hard-coding numbers. The version that finally worked is the one where the grid knows its own cell size instead of me guessing. I also learned that playtesting with my sister finds bugs faster than reading my own code.
