My entry for Ludum Dare 50, with the theme 'Delay the Inevitable'.
The Earth is about to be destroyed, and you have elected to stay behind to make sure that the escape shuttles can make it to the gold-plated Invincible Space Station. Rotate around the earth, shooting down asteroids in a way that's probably really familiar if you're a very old person like me.
Try not to shoot the escaping shuttles, and go for a high score!
CONTROLS:
Arrow keys/A or D - Move left/right around the Earth
Spacebar - Shoot
Down arrow/S key - Apply the brakes if you're flying too fast in one direction!

Great entry, not a whole lot to give feedback on. Perhaps it could've used some power ups or more variety, but the lack of those things is totally understandable during a jam
At first I thought I could just hold space and aim behind the escape shuttle and protect the Earth forever but no, the asteroids get faster and I just couldn't rotate my ufo fast enough. It is truly "inevitable."
