Pretty polished fun game to play. The currency is almost another life force you have to manage or else you'll die which is a cool concept to go deeper into. The sounds were satisfying and shooting asteroids was fun. I would work on a better tutorial though its kind of unclear. Also I am still confused of what the random red, blue, and white squares were. If they were something important I didn't understand what they meant at all. It would consider turning this game into a rouge like /scaling progression to the game but that's up to you.

Playing this game also makes me wonder if I can make my sounds more satisfying and how I would do that. I'm curious about how you created the sounds for your game if you'd like to share!

Woooow that entry is super cool! The effects are just chef kiss. The movement feeling and the knockback when you're firing feels great, and that level-up animation is so juicy good. For what seems like a standard Asteroids game, this is actually super polished. One of my favorite retro entries!

This needs more attention; full marks absolute genius idea lol

I was annoyed with the popups at first though; but keep them, they were integral to the experience.

Elite vibes, I love all the effects for everything (especially the upgrades). Game is also pretty fun in general!! I got mildly sucked in and played for a while lol
