Gameplay

Hello Pilot. Looks like we've made it into a real mess this time. We seem to be in an infinite loop of time or something, and even death isn't an escape, huh, figures. You need to find a way for us to break free! otherwise, we may be here forever ... we've been stuck a long time now, and I don't think we're quite done yet..

You only have 3 lives so try to dodge as many dangers as possible.
You can destroy asteroids using your green mining laser.
Debris can't be destroyed (unless you use the supercharged red laser). Avoid floating pieces of debris as much as possible.
Unlock your supercharged red laser!: by collecting floating spaceship ghosts. These are the locations where other players succumbed to the dangers of space. You might find your own previous ghost as well!
Dying will leave a permanent green ghost with your name at your furthest travelled distance for everyone to see. Try and beat everyone elses scores!

Controls

W, A, S, D or Keyboard Arrows: Move spaceship around the edges of the screen.
Left Mouse button: shoot green mining laser. This can be used to destroy asteroids only! Be careful as prolonged shooting will overheat your ship.
Right Mouse button: shoot supercharged red laser. This mega laser will destroy anything it touches, including floating debris.

What platform is your game built for?

I super simple and pretty fun little game. I overall liked the music and visuals. The camera angle sometime made it a bit difficult to see if I would collide with some thing. Overall a okay little jam game.
