I like how you feel insignificant in the world. It's really emmersive in my opinion. I was really bad which sucks but aye it's alright. I guess one thing that could really help the feel of the game is if you smoothed out the motion of the camera towards your mouse instead of making it instant. One nice byeffect of moving the camera to the mouse is that you spaceship isn't always fixed in the centre of the screen. The particle effects are really awesome by the way and totally fit the style of the game which was totally coherent in my opinion. I think some players might not totally like this style as it totally disregards consistency in pixel density but I think those problems are much more prominent in 2D platformers than in a top down game like this. I would add a new Easy mode for newbies as me and then ship it.

I like the concept, Well done!

I liked the minimalistic approach a lot, with only one ressource used for everything. Clever.

An interesting concept, with some nice retro sound design. Reminds me a bit of Asteroids. Definitely has potential! Well done!

I am all for the idea, however I do think the execution could be a tad better from my perspective. I feel like the spaceships are too fast for me to catch up, but it could eventually lead to become a fun little boredom killer in the future!
