Nuclear Pulse by erikengineengineer
Did you ever think about using nuclear bombs to gain thrust? Every 10 seconds a nuclear detonation accelerates your spaceship. Try to get as fast as you can!
Avoid the asteroids with your arrow keys and shoot them with the spacebar.

the shooting becomes irrelevant on higher speeds 'cause it's kinda slow and you just don't have enough time to aim and shoot. Heck, after ~20th explosion you barely have time to evade asteroids using radar.
Anyway, the music is tense and the idea is cool!
Displaying the user's PC name is a clever little gimmick, I liked it.
Got to level 16 tho, so I had fun!
I _love_ the gimmick though. The nuclear detonation method for lightspeed is among my favorite approaching-the-speed-of-light techniques! Seems like something an Ork would come up with for rapid travel XD
