How does your game fit the theme?
It is like the classic game "Asteroids", but instead of being the spaceship shooting the asteroids, you play as the asteroids avoiding being shot by the spaceship.

Very charming art style, and a fun premise. Music was good too

I am sad that my little asteroid-birthday party got crashed, but I am fairly happy with my time playing, good work!

Cool, we both made reverse Asteroid, but your goal is to prevent asteroids from getting hit while mine was to use the asteroids to hit the ship.

It was pretty easy to defend one asteroid, but really hard to defend two. Maybe a larger arena with more room to move and more time time to react to shots might make things easier, but you could also add more asteroids to compensate.

Thank you for the suggestions! :)

Very cool game! It would be a great feature to make the asteroids collide with eachother in order to make dodging easier while there are many asteroids on the screen :)

Developer

Thank you!

In theory, the asteroids should collide, and they also do, when I try it, they are basically bouncing off each other. Can you describe how the asteroids behave when you play it, so I can look into it and fix it? :)

Cool concept and great art!

Developer

thanks a lot! I see, we had some similar and yet a bit different ideas :D

I think the game is very fun and challenging. I think that if the ship was slower to start and shot a tiny bit faster that would balance well. I feel like part of the problem is I'm not on a actual mouse, but its still a very fun game and a great idea. 

Developer

thanks! yes, a mouse is good for playing the game, but it is also pretty hard.

thanks for playing! :)
