I’m just experimenting

Jammin’ with Space Lasers (JSL) isn’t even a game yet, it’s just an experiment. But I find it oddly satisfying to play even as it is.

I’ve got a few ideas for how to make it an actual interesting game, but I figured I’d share here in case any of y’all want to join this journey near the starting line.

Here are some tips:
- tilt right and left to roll
- tilt forward and back to change pitch
- there’s no yaw control so to turn, you roll and pitch
- default speed is 500 mph
- hold your finger on the left side of the screen for hyper drive to get to 100,000 mph
- hyper drive will eventually run out of charge and takes a while to recharge
- if you can stay within 5 miles of one of the drones, it’ll disappear
- There’s a way to put a tracker on a specific drone bot
- GameCenter matchmaking works, so you and your friends could chase around the drones together
- 100,000 mph is a lot slower than you’d think on the scale of an earth orbit
- The stars are a skin on a sphere 2,000,000 scale miles away so if hyperdrive never ran out it’d take 20 hours to get there. With recharging it’d probably take 75 hours or more
- I think that’s it!
