Asterboids
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Asteroids crossed with Boids. Thought it was fairly original, until I noticed there are several implementations already. Hah hah!
Made with Odin and Raylib with help from Claude. Meep.
Includes a configuration system to help make it playable by youngsters (my nieces).
Warning: Keep the volume low! There is an issue that when you have the shield up and get stuck on an asteroid, the collision noise plays in tight loop. Need to fix that at some point. Only fixed in macOS version atm.
NB: Written for an Odin Game Jam, so mileage will vary! Hah hah!

These are just raw binaries and not packaged in anyway . They ought to be able to run in an VM under a hypervisor, although I have not tested that yet. I will learn about packaging options and see what can be improved. Live and learn!
