Other then that the graphics were awesomely retro. Gameplay with the non violent options (using the tractor beam to hold the asteroid in as a shield and steer it) was something I haven't seen before. Great idea.
You Only Get One ability/weapon on your ship - seemed to me like that fit the theme pretty well.
