If this were to be a pure dodging and collecting game (which I think would be cool personally) I would increase the speed of the asteroids and force the player to focus on dodging them, or give some sort of reward for destroying an asteroid.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Or, you could hide the artifact inside one of the asteroids so the only way to find it is to &quot;search-and-destroy&quot; the asteroid field. Mind you, just my opinions, so do whatever you think is best :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good start you got here, as I mentioned before I love the graphics style and the audio."},{"author_name":"ethankennerly","author_uid":"3040","time":"Dec 26, 2010 @ 8:16pm","epoch":1293394260,"text":"I enjoyed the first five seconds.
