Earf Defender by cobrajs
Save the inhabitants of Earf from the constant barrage of asteroids!
After an experiment gone wrong, the planet Earf has shrunk and it is up to the lone Spaceman (who was on the space station at the time) to rescue the inhabitants from the asteroids. Try not to get hit, and watch out for solar flares from Earf's orbiting star/moon. Collect the inhabitants when they send off a warning alarm from an imminent asteroid collision, and jump to the space station to save them.
Arrow keys to move, x or up to jump, c to punch asteroids, and q or exit to exit to the main menu.

Got a snippit of music while the window opened then hit with a message informing me that my implementation of OpenGL wasn't supported :(
don't suppose you could upload a less pretty version?
@oldtopman: What distro/audio backend do you have? It crashes for me sometimes too (especially once I added the music) and I can't figure out why yet.
@mattchu: I think there was something in the help about that, but I should have included a README with better info :P
Like other players, I was a little confused about how to save people, but watching the score I figured it out.
I did have a consistent issue; it would lock up after my guy was hit by around 3 solar flare particles, the game would lock up. This is using the L枚ve 0.8.0 OSX runtime.
I think I can work around it by just hiding from the solar flares better, so I'll try that. If you will excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, I must punch some asteroids.
