Loved the art style and color choice! I really enjoyed the smash powerup. It felt so good to go on a rampage against the asteroids for a few seconds.

Some minor feedback, that you're welcome to ignore :), would be to add WASD controls (not sure if possible with PICO8) and maybe make the shields stack if the player gets more than one (not sure if they do, just seemed like they didn't).

And I really loved the asteroid impact carving out parts of the planet. Along with the bit of screen shake, made for some great juiciness!

Thanks for the feedback!

I think it's possible to add WASD to the web version, I'll give that a try once the rating period is up. I was thinking about having the shields stack, but I wasn't sure if that would make it too easy to accumulate a lot of shields early... Maybe I'll try letting you have a second layer at least. It's not really obvious, but if you pick up a shield powerup while you already have a shield, you get 5 points, so it's still worth grabbing them.

Yeah the asteroid impacts are cool! One of those things that ended up being simple to add, but made a huge difference.
