Very interesting take on an Asteroids style game! I liked the story, found the controls very hard to use, I only managed to shoot 1 white orb in about 5 minutes of trying xD

Thanks!

I really liked the uniqueness of the visuals, and the controls were quite new too. It's just that the controls feels hard to use and slippery.

Developer

Thanks. Maybe with a little more polish the controls will work better.

Really unique idea. I thought the controls were a bit tough too. Really liked the dialog in the beginning! :)

I really liked the pixel stars in the background and pixel particle effects of the trail. I managed to get a couple of green orbs home but for me it is quite hard to control. Using the wheel to steer in particular was tough, perhaps intentionally so! :)

Developer

Thanks!
It is partially intentional to add a bit difficulty - but I did try to make it "controllable". From my tests, after a short while you find the right sensitivity for the controls.

Fun idea, I tried my best but I was unable to help Orba, my ship kept spinning around, not sure why.

Interesting idea for a game.  I found it hard to control - the round design of the space ship make it hard to tell which direction you're pointing, and there is so much lag in turning it's very easy to overshoot.
