Not quite =) By clicking the mouse or tapping the screen, the astronaut jumps up and flies until he reaches an asteroid or the edge of the screen. You need to collect 100 rocket fuel units to finish the game, and that's all ^^'
Love the look, feel, and sound of everything. Execution and polish are solid. nice work!

Jumping from asteroid to asteroid felt *really* good when they lined up correctly! I had a ton of fun frantically trying to keep myself on-screen in my early attempts before I had figured out that the best strategy was to play patiently and carefully, which makes me think that there could be a *different* very fun minigame about just trying to keep yourself on-screen in that chaotic asteroid field! :)
My only real feedback is that I wish there was a tiny bit more control over the rotation of the asteroid that you're currently on. If it would automatically spin up to speed like the center asteroid, or you could have some control over your positioning on the asteroid, there would be a lot more opportunity to enjoy those rapid asteroid jumps. As it is right now, the unpredictable risk of a fast-moving asteroid encourages patiently bouncing back and forth to the slowest moving asteroids.
Overall though, well done! :)
