thanks, MGD. I have an itch to develop this further. No promises on doing that but since you appreciate the genre, i would appreciate any ideas u might have for it (probably best to leave them on the regular page, outside of the jam - and the same goes for anyone else). I know i want (at least) an occasional alien entering air space (well, "space" space :) ). Thanks for checking it out.

Not sure why they tend to take "the villian" roles but, thankfully, they do. thanks for playing :)

Hi,

The 'roid spawn rate caps at 1/sec but their velocities never cap and pick up with each new Wave (every 10 spawns).

It gets noticeable for me ~W15 and pretty much unbeatable ~W30-35 while the gun rotation rate never changes.

Maybe shorter Waves are in order? Every 5 'roids, say?

Thanks for the comment and thanks for playing :)

thanks for playing, SG. i tend to go "relaxing" everything, anymore :) and, see above re: rotated pixels? i never knew the term, until now :)

and, same to yours :) thanks, Cleverzoid.

Thanks :) the auto-fire addition changed the dynamic and, as you noted, brought a small strategic element. and, i should properly credit https://www.bfxr.net/ for the effect. i generally assume "everyone knows" (since it's the only thing i use for such thing ) but i'm surely wrong.

odd, i never considered it a take on asteroids. seems that you & others do, and majority rules, so... now it's stuck (in the same space in outerspace) and in good company :) thanks, gosukiwi!
