I wanted to post a v2 update to my game now that voting is complete... so if anyone wants to give it a try:

It's still not finished, but it is closer to my original idea... You are a space miner collecting different minerals from asteroids... shooting an asteroid breaks it apart (to get the mineral), but creates more smaller, indestructible asteroids that will cause damage to your ship when touched. The more minerals you try to get, the worse it is.

Control your ship with the arrow keys (left/right to turn, up for thrust); ctrl, shift or space to fire; z or x to toggle a 'bigger picker upper' on/off.

I will keep pushing updates as they become available. Thanks again for giving it a try!
