UFO Dash!
Hello all
I am a young developer and I am happy to announce that my second game is almost ready to be put on the app store! I just need to wait for my free month of pro from the game jam and I'll be set. I present to you, UFO Dash!
The Goal in UFO Dash is to survive as long as possible. The longer you survive, the more points you get. There are other ways to get points too, such as sucking up coins, beaming in power-ups, and destroying enemy spacecraft. But make sure to avoid the asteroids and other alien species, or your run will end.
Powerups
The +100 power up is as simple as it seems, you get 100 points for collecting it.
The x2 power up gives you points times 2 for 10 seconds.
The coin frenzy power up replaces all asteroids with coins for 5 seconds(each coin gives you 50 points. You can also use them to unlock new characters in the shop).
This power up reloads your ship's ammunition (you only start off with 5 bullets)
The shield power-up gives you a shield that blocks all hazards for 10 seconds.
Hazards
Asteroids are the most common hazard, which spawn every second randomly across the screen. They are not destroyable, and must be dodged.
The blue aliens are the most common alien species that you can encounter, spawning every 10 seconds. The are spawned randomly on the screen, move in a straight line, and fire a spray of 3 bullets. They are destroyable with your bullets. 200 points is given for each alien you destroy.
The red aliens spawn every 15 seconds and zigzag across the screen, making them hard to hit. They shoot one bullet every second, and are also destroyable.

Nice pixel art graphics man! Reminds me of the time when I got my first computer and got to learn to program BASIC. Circa early '80s. How young are you?
I'm 12 (all art is made by me) @yattamove
How did you get the asteroids to spawn randomly?
I put the code on a non-important actor (such as a background star)

Could you leave a screenshot? It doesn't work for me.
I'm on windows right now, so I don't have access to my game, but can you tell me what's happening? I may be able to tell you what's wrong
