I'd not written a game in Flash before, so I thought it could be a fun thing to try. I went with the Flixel game engine as I'd noticed a few games I'd enjoyed on the internet had used it, and I was a fan of the "retro" pixelated vibe. I figured a homage to Jetpac (an old Spectrum game) might be a nice place to start.

In the end it just took me 4 days to go from knowing nothing about writing Flash/Flixel games to the finished product you see below. The level design's probably not best, but I'm quite pleased with the whole thing.

Controls are WASD/cursors for movement, and space to fire. Avoid or shoot the meteors, pick up the bits of your ship and bring them to the middle, and then climb aboard once it's complete. Repeat.

Oh, and click in the game area to get keys registering.
