Seems like a fun game, but I couldn't figure out how to control it. All I figured out is space to start and stop the meteors. Help

Fun game! I enjoyed how smooth the asteroid movement was. My only negative would be I'd like to be able to fling the asteroids while they're moving. Other than that great game! If you have time could you rate my game? It's about smacking chickens with a car.

Interesting concept and fun!

This game's cool! I like the visual style, and the sounds are comical but good. Gameplay feels maybe simplistic but works great at the same time

Sweet game! I love the look and feel of it all. And it is a perfect fit for the theme. The three levels are a good range of difficulty. I had a lot of fun playing it. Great game and great job!

Control meteorites to destroy a spaceship, an inverted reinterpretation of the traditional game. Seeing the ship explode should have been the part I was most looking forward to, but can even on easy mode, the ship's ability to avoid meteorites is surprisingly powerful. I hardly could get a direct hit on the ship by a small meteorite moving at high speed.

We recommend using a HARD difficulty, since the difficulty is chosen for the spaceship,  not for the player.

I think I understand the design now

Very nice concept of you are the one to kill the space shooter! and nice visuals! however the tutorial is a bit confusing. Could use some fixing!

If you can find the time, would you please check out our game as well?

Our twist of the theme is that a critic tries to play your unfinished game, and you fight from inside the computer to make him like it. Hope you'll like it!

The idea of trying to kill the spaceship instead of playing the spaceship is interesting. The art style is interesting. However, the actual gameplay isn't good. I had no idea what I was doing. The instruction were confusing. Eventually, I figured out pushing space caused the asteroid to move. But, I have no idea how you are supposed to harm the spaceship.
