Nice little game. Liked the art style.

Feedback:
1. Maybe asteroids should disappear / bounce of the shield. Otherwise sometimes shielding is not enough.
2. Maybe them more visible. Now they are easily lost in the background.

Very cool and hard game!

The graphics and audio were pretty cool, but to be honest, I felt the gameplay didn't have enough variety to it. A couple cool ideas would perhaps be having asteroids that are too big for your shield, so you need to shoot them to pieces and move the shield to one spot.

I like the slow lasers. It gives you the feeling everything is big. The small rocks are hard to hit...

As for improvement suggestions, I did a similar game for a client, a couple of years ago, using a big touch screen. I had lasers overheating and protective shields requiring energy.

Its a pretty simple game, but it is balanced and works together. The shield is nice way how to implement a bit of strategy decision making. But mostly... it ROCKS!

I like the mechanic, it's nicely balanced, also game plays very smooth and art is slick. Oh yeah, end screen, when there are multiple asteroids are hanging in the middle is awesome :D

Super fun game! I love the look of the planet and background, however the asteroids don't stand out enough in my opinion. A little more contrast would improve it a lot for me.

Oddly enough, this is exactly the same idea as a game I never managed to finish for a Ludum Dare a few years back! It took me a while to realise how much better it is to play using the mouse. I think you need to speed up the movement when using keyboard. Other than that one gripe though, it's great fun to play. Really rather difficult. I enjoyed it.

Immense difficulty is not the problem of the game but problem of the player, me. Nice work :)

Can I create a server and play it with my friends?

I'm not sure if you can play it with your friends on a private server. Me and my friends used to play League of Legends on a private server back in 2015. I remember we used to spend a lot of time on it. However, after 4 years of playing it, I got tired of it so I decided to try something else. Now I'm playing Minecraft not just for fun, but also for the money I make on streaming. I receive a lot of help from https://ggservers.com, they're very professional at what they do - their customer support is very fast and the service is at its highest levels.
