\n It seems like the more stars you get the slower you fire them at the enemy.

\"asterism\"<\/p>\n

I just submitted my first (Mini) Ludum Dare entry!<\/p>\n

I call it Asterism, since it’s about collections of stars. You collect stars at the start and then you use them to shoot a massive horde of enemies that advances ever toward you. Every game object is a randomly generated rectangle, so no repeats of anything.<\/p>\n
