Really enjoyed it and that art and audio style is right up my alley. I will point out something that could be fixed if you take this further when the ship has momentum and you change facing direction things go a bit wonky at times. Other than that it was tricky but a great game.

Unfortunately I'm terrible at physics, or something, because i'm mostly good at shooting the asteroids in ever-faster circles around the level.\n\nReally only tiny stuff that I'd change--primarily the audio level for the shooting sound, but this is a really well-polished game for 24 hours! Awesome work.\n\np.s., if you're able to write video games, is it really camping? :P","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ranjan","author_uid":"1056815","time":"2018-08-14T00:42:09Z","epoch":1534207329,"modified":1534207329,"text":"Great game, especially for 24 hours. The music was really catchy, and I liked how tight the controls were (I usually find these physics based space games to be a bit too floaty). My only feedback would be that the firing rate is somewhat inconsistent. Well done!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Andy D","author_uid":"1073851","time":"2018-08-14T09:49:19Z","epoch":1534240159,"modified":1534240159,"text":"Great game! The music is really good and the game is easy to get to grips with and compulsive. I had trouble with the asteroids kind of hugging the walls and it was difficult to get them away again, so maybe the physics need a tweak? Also, I didn't really notice the walls closing in, but the visual effect is cool. :thumbsup:","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Rayaarito","author_uid":"1076245","time":"2018-08-14T23:08:55Z","epoch":1534288135,"modified":1534288135,"text":"Thoroughly enjoyed it. The concept was great and I had a lot of fun playing it. It reminded me of asteroids tbh and I loved that game when I was kid.\n\nIf there was one thing I would do that could make this A LITTLE bit better (because it's already good) is to add keyboard controls to rotate the player, just like in asteroid","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"HYPRGLOO","author_uid":"1102143","time":"2018-08-14T23:49:21Z","epoch":1534290561,"modified":1534290561,"text":"Fun game! The music is really good. The slippery flying mechanics make this pretty difficult, however that said I really enjoy the flow of trying to shoot+nudge the asteroids with the ship (I'm glad touching the asteroids doesn't kill you, that was a smart decision).

The asteroids kept immediately zooming into the wall of doom and I couldn't dislodge them, so I couldn't get behind them to shoot them into the sun.

Despite being in space it is quite responsive. That felt great. I really enjoyed that the player's shots were in tune with the music.\n\nI found 2 bugs:\n1. The music does not loop properly.\n2. Point blank shots produce the particle effects but do not inflict any force on the asteroids.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Bela Bohlender","author_uid":"1075717","time":"2018-08-15T09:25:29Z","epoch":1534325129,"modified":1534325129,"text":"Awsome tutorial idea, at least the ship control tutorial.
