Nice looking game! Continuous damage might make it a bit more playable, or even just pausing the game when in the shop - I've crashed almost every time I wanted to buy something :( I like the look and feel of it though.

Graphically it's great! The ship does feel very heavy and maybe has a little too much friction. Other than that it's really quite good!

Very fun and addictive game but quite hard ! Limiting the spawn range of asteroids, they spawn too close to you.

I didn't get very far because I kept running into asteroids. The music was good and the graphics and animation was great.

Neat entry! You certainly did a impressive job on realization and adding ammo in an asteroid game is an interesting take. My only complaints would be the quite punitive hitbox of my shipt and the fact that I've been killed by asteroids which spawned pretty much on my head :)

The game could be a lot of fun but suffers from problems others have already pointed out:
1.) The store is great, but since all asteroids spawn on a collision course with your ship it's not likely to give you much time
2.) The ship hitbox is big and a single hit = death, maybe a health bar would be nice, or shields or something
3.) Sometimes debris from a breaking asteroid spawned going REALLY fast right at my ship, no chance for me to escape or destroy it in time

With these few pain-points in mind, you could easily make the game really fun very easily! Hope you keep working on it :)

the graphics are quite good! Combination of objects yields a very good looking universe. Wish there are more lives!! difficult to earn money and buy something before I died... Besides, the bullet burn power up is somewhat like a debuff...not effective at killing enemies while increasing ammo consumption.

Great graphics. Suprisingly difficult. I like that you could reverse. Could have done with less friction. A little frustrating that the music restarts whenever you die.

Great idea to have a shop and make conservation of ammo important. I got hit by spawning asteroids a few times and then I had to rage quit. But great work!
