Music is solid, game looks lovely, but I can't seem to run it without lagging literally every other second. So bummed cause it looks great!

Very good game! It's just a little sad that the music don't loop correctly because it is really damn good! Nice job guys!

The music in this game rocks! I do wish it ran more smoothly (I'm playing the browser version), it stutters quite a bit and there was a huge spike of lag at the start. I do like the premise of pushing your way through an asteroid field without shooting, it gives the game more a feeling of exploration than of pure action. Great job!

@catomag, @owinmowe @teenythanos @voxel-forest @nice-gear-games

Thanks for comments.
We fixed music looping, and leaderboard.

I suspect that lag spike on browser version is probably caused by automatic increases of heap size. After memory is allocated it's stabilising, and next runs are smooth.

Catchy music and nice graphics. Had issues with slowdowns in the HTML5 version, it was practically unplayable. Keep up the good work though!

The music is catchy off the bat, but the menu has a lot of glitches in the HTML5 version. First try I was unable to input a name, needed to refresh. Then the menu options took a couple seconds to register a click, by which time I have clicked again, moving me somewhere else. Then I had a sub-menu open on top of the main menu...

Anyway, once you start it, the game itself is fun and looks great. Well done!

Great music. Fun gameplay. The movement felt really smooth.
I suggest making it work with arrow keys as well.

The music is really well made, it's catchy and it fits with the game really well. I also really love the look of the asteroids and the fact that they're spinning make the world feel more dynamic. It also feels really nice to play, you worked hard on the controls and it shows ! Overall, really good entry !

The graphics were good. I liked the music, though I felt the music did not fit into the game's mood. It would be nice to have added a few more sfx. I also had issues with slowdowns in the HTML5 version it was practically unplayable.

Very cool game!
Nice music and good art style.
Just wish it would not be this laggy(Pretty sure its caused by loading in all these rocks every few seconds).
Mabye experiment with object pooling.

@dvd - Thanks. It might help. There is a lot of objects.
Did you have lags on WEB or Windows version? On Web version main source of lags is probable heap allocation, since after some time lags disappears, and new runs are much smoother.

Was practically unplayable for me on the web version due to lagging/freezing roughly every 2-3 seconds, which didn't go away over time or on later plays. Ran just fine when I downloaded it, though.

Sometimes it was a bit hard to judge the depth of asteroids, but I'm not really sure what could be done about that.

Music was pleasant and the graphics were nice.

Nice game apart for the occasional freezing and lagging. I think there are just too many objects for it to run smoothly.
