Very nice looking game. Unfortunately it's really quite hard to see what's going on. The game is also very easy and the cannons get inside of the planet after a certain amount of time.
Very innovative though, great idea.

I gotta be honest, I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. Running around and collecting stuff was fun though :P The art looked nice too!

Great great art. The game is nice, but somehow, past the first two missions, I unlocked all others missions in a row and the game eventually crashed

Wow this game is sweet! Really nice polishing and gravity mechanics. The animations and sounds are sooo satisfying.
The ability unlocking phases are kind of overwhelming, because you can unlock so much through one trip and can't really try out your new abilities one at a time.

Also the WebGL Client crashed at the beginning of the tenth mission due to insufficient memory...
Either way, it fits the theme really well, definitely one of my favourites, good job!

Wow! This game is beautiful. The mechanics were a little jarring and I did encounter a bug where I got stuck inside a launcher. But overall really cool!

Amazing art and sound. Physic seems sometimes dodgy but fun anyway

First of all, thanks for the WebGL version :)
Second - the game is really fun! Looks and plays incredible.

Amazing how well polished this is for such a short period of time... my only criticism would be that the Growth theme is very barely used incorporated into the actual mechanics of the game. That being said, it has almost two button controls so there's like a blend of half-half. None the less... I am amazed at the quality of production in such a short period of time. Great Job!

Looks gorgeous, like the kind of pinball feel the game has too..very cool..my only nitpicking is that mission text 'collect and deliver' is somewhat in the way..great job!

A very cool game I like it, it's beautiful and original. I enjoyed playing it and fly between asteroids!
The game is easy, maybe a inventory limit or allow to gather only necessary ressources?
Anyway it's a good game.

I've got a crash on the WebGL version using Opera 34, with a out of memory error when I almost got all upgrades.

Very well done! I got to the last upgrade and ran out of memory on the webgl version with Chrome/OS X.

I expected to dislike the game when I first started, but the upgrades really worked out well.

Really great concept, like that you used both themes for control and growth. Love when you explode! Great game!

Cool game.
Sometimes it felt a little weird how I was pulled into the gravity field of asteroids, but other then that really nice :)
