I had a lot of fun with this game. The graphics and music are great and the gameplay is simple, but fun. Its sometimes hard to control when you get stuck close to the monster and you keep bouncing off it and the rocks.

Controls feel a bit janky, had a really hard time controlling the ship to blast all the rocks away. Art style and music fits well together. Very retro. Thumbs up!

Great game I like it very much. If you add some sound FX will be nice. Good Job! Arcade Power!!!

Neat game! Definitely fit the theme. I liked that you added a highscore tracker. Little addons like that make a game much more re-playable. Great job!

Unusual scrolling shooter with interesting mechanics and good music. The way the ship is controlled makes the game challenging but interesting.

I found it difficult to control the ship. Otherwise a solid entry.

cool game and a neat idea, though I did find the game hard to play without a mouse (I was using a track pad). I think a little more visual clarity between the player ship and the environment would really help focus the gameplay.

Very cool game I like the blast of the exploding rocks, made it fun to play. I did find a cheat or maybe a strategy to play forever... Put your ship in one of the upper corners and keep flying into the corner. Controls were fun and challenging and the physics / collisions where good. Good job.

Cool concep!

The only problem i had was that if you got hit and got rotated 180 there was no way to recover.
Aside from that had fun playing!

Pretty cool concept! I think it could use some more variety or maybe some enemies, since you can kind of just camp the top of the screen and spam click and never die.

I really love the sounds on this game. Had to get used to the controls first, but afterwards this was fine. You can survive quite long by just flying straight into one of the upper corners. Overall, I enjoyed this game. Thanks!

Nice job...I found it a little hard to control the ship at times but overall very nice.
