Nice “runner” alternative setting. The game is simple and the mechanics easy to grasp. Grphics and sound fit the theme and are quite good. Fire rate might be a bit slow considering the volume of astoroids you get but I’d say that adds to the challenge… maybe some penalty for missing asteroids, like G increases with the sun “eating” those could add to the challenge. Great to see more PICO-8 entries around!

Did you work in a team?
Chaz and Cat worked on this project. It was a super fun and challenging experience!
Was the resolution a challenge?
Mostly issues related to small fonts and small interfaces. Used a smaller font within Pico 8/also used smaller number sprites as a font.
What did you learn?
Learned many different things since this is my first game that I cannot remember now at this final hour. Seems like a good first brick in my education has been laid and many more need to be laid after this.
