Dioretsa
The classic game of Asteroids, expect the roles have been reversed. Now, instead of controlling your spaceship to dodge and destroy asteroids, it's your job to throw those same asteroids at an AI-controlled spaceship. Just click and drag on the asteroids as they show up to throw them.

Hello, I am a newbie game dev and I recently started working on my own game with this same concept, where you attack a ship with asteroids, but the gameplay is quite a bit different. And guess what, I thought to name it Dioretsa as well! I figured I should google the name and see if anyone else used the name for a game. Looks like you had the exact same idea. Do you mind if I use this name for my game as well? It is my first game, but I am planning on putting it on Steam.
Go for it! I’d like to see what sort of game you have in mind, just for my own curiosity. It’s always cool to see the different directions different devs take similar ideas in.
Solid proof of concept. I just think that the asteroids spawn in a little too slowly.
Thank you!
The way asteroid spawning works is by spawning a new wave of asteroids after the last asteroid of the previous wave has been destroyed, which each wave slightly larger than the last. But you're right, I should have increased the size of the initial wave, and probably also increased the rate at which wave size increases.
Interesting game idea and solid result!! The way that you take the role reversed theme is interesting and fun to see the AI working!! You should try my game too
Thank you! I spent most of the second day getting the AI working, so I’m glad to see it’s having the desired effect.
