Great, addictive game with a lot of content and polish for such a short jam! The best game I have played here so far

One of the most addictive entries! I love the fact that you have to not only watch out from the bullets but also the ship itself! (7th place as DWAM!)

It has a steep learning curve and it takes time to master the simple controls, the AI is very well done, the SFX are super satisfying and the feel of the game is great. Nice concept and great execution, good job!

Darn impressive stuff! You could release it now and people would play with. Feels like it could make a great mobile game! 

Developer

Best score possible if you ask me!

Nice gameplay and game feel. Would love a bit more warning feedback when you get hit yourself since it can be hard to distinguish with asteroids nearby getting hit. But other than that, great game.

There is so much polish here for a game made in under 48 hours. Its incredible.
If i were to complain about anything it would be the screenshake gets disorienting when the shooter destroys multiple asteroids in a short amount of time.

This game is awesome!

I like the way you both need to use the ship's bullet to make money, and try to lure it to a collision at the same time! It makes for some really engaging gameplay and decision making!

The game feel was great, and the art is good! Congrats!

The game is really engaging which is rare in most of the games. It' simple games like these, that just get your attention and take it from you. Loved it!

Creative concept and well executed!

Reminds me of insaniqarium in a weird way, saving up for the different asteroids to see what they do and I had a blast getting the top spot on the leaderboard (Boykal). Actually one of the best games of the jam super underrated at the moment.

The only submission that I have come across that feels like a legitimate finished project. The art style, sound effect implementation and balance to the game all make me feel like this could have been a year long project never mind something created within the time frame. This is definitely my vote for number one of the year, I can only urge people more to try it and give their own feedback on their own experience. 

Also it actually has a high score board so try beat me before you disagree - TDC

I have to finish my Queue first before I can vote on this, but I'll come back and do that tomorrow.  Wanted to give it a shot, and this is really cool man!  Definitely enjoyed it.  And, er hrm.. Top Score on the Leaderboard(for now)!

I'm very impressed by this game. A competent enemy AI? A real leader board? Insane. Very nice

Wow, best game I've played so far today! I really liked the twist as playing as the asteroids.

I also really liked the cookie clicker style buy menu that allowed me to sort of snowball progress. The graphics and style are very enjoyable and the enemy AI is shockingly good! I liked that I had to avoid the player with the mouse or risk losing my points, sonic ring style.

One thing I will note (and this is completely understandable for a 48hr game), is the menu/settings. I didn't have any luck finding a menu to close out of the game or adjust settings, and I wish there was a setting for screen shake. Having every impact shake the screen was neat and immersive, but may be uncomfortable for a portion of your audience. 

All in all, really great game! I had a lot of fun with this and will likely return to play again c:
