The game won’t go past the “Good luck” splash for some reason.

Here’s my submission!!

The game says it all… but be careful. Hardcore mode is VERY laggy.

Because, if you can have more than one submission, then I have another game that I would like to enter. This is the first Mini Game Jam that I´ve participated in, so I don’t know much about it.

@richard for the people who participate it this game jam should receive a badge that is titled elder space jam, with the icon of some 8 bit stars or a 8 bit rocket ship. Just a idea I had and wanted to share.

Here is my game. please note it will have many updates.  
The game is called Astronaut: dig a little deeper. your goal is to dig for treasure and defeat the aliens in your way. the controls are in the how to play menu. Also note that sometimes the tiles stack so it will not work and start over.

For some reason, this game goes orange, pauses, and then won’t let me play! I don’t know if it’s a problem with the code, or a problem with my computer. ☹  
It seems like a really cool game though!

Here’s my entry, Space Rocks Revenge:

You may have seen an earlier version of the enemy spaceship in [this old post](https://forum.makecode.com/t/space-rocks-3d/6334/61), but I had never gotten it to a playable state at that time. Thanks to many hours spent on airplanes with nothing else to do, I finally restarted development and rewrote the flight control and AI code.

Your shield recharges between waves, but your hull doesn’t get repaired, so be careful. Early on you’ll face weaker ships, but the wave 6 opponent flies a ship identical to yours. From wave 7 on, you’ll get progressively more (but not quite as tough) enemies. Good hunting, and have fun!
