Pretty neat consept, like the graphics. A bit few sounds, otherwise good. A gameover screen would be nice as well :)

Nice casual game, though I wasn't very good at it, I must admit.
Nice little game. maybe staring off with things slower would make it more fun, or a simple levels option based on speed with score multiplier.
Simple, fun, original! Really liked it, though I was pretty terrible at it. Highest score: 106! ^_^
I did find it a little annoying I couldn't skip the intro text (kept pressing spacebar out of habit, which of course launched the ship that wasn't even in view yet, which meant I had to reset again, which made me accidentally press spacebar, and so on). I played the web version. ^_^
Anyway, good job!
Innovation: 4/5 - Can't say I've seen this type of game before.
Fun: 3/5 - It took me far too long to realize I'm supposed to go to the planets, not avoid crashing into them! That might just be my fault though. Replay value is lacking.
Theme: 3/5 - There are worlds, and they are tiny. Not really integral to gameplay in any way, though.
Graphics: 4/5 - Pretty and functional.
Audio: N/A - Not on a computer with audio, so not rating.
Humor: N/A - Didn't see any attempts at humor, so not rating.
Mood: 2/5 - There's not enough elements to string together a consistent mood.
Thanks for the feedback, I will try to make a post-version of the game where I will try to add these things and try to fix some memory leaks too.
the hit detection is kinda weird, i had many occasions where the rocket passed through the planet but didn't land. reloaded many times but could never get the sound to play though.
Raptor85: In which browser did you play?
It's a nice little game :)
Nice little game ! Also clicking on every version of your game is another funny game.
Very funny game.
It's too much fast IMHO, maybe increasing the speed with the time?
Nice! Pretty simple, gets straight to gameplay!
I did shoot the rocket before the planet had even come on screen a few times by accident though, causing it to end straight away :p
I agree with the others! Its quite fast and hard. But the idea makes up for a good skill-based little game.
Pretty fun game, though I agree with a couple of the previous comments. It would be nice to prevent the rocket from launching before the planet is in view (I lost several times while completely confused about what was happening). Other than that, good work!
It is a bit weird to be told to press tab on Android, and it took me a while to really understand what I was supposed to do, as the instructions came far too early and I even didn't see the rocked and all of a sudden (from my point of view) it was game over.
The idea is nice and once understood I liked this game.
I'm playing it in a webbrowser (chrome 18) and i do not understand what is happening :s
I get a "game over" in the first seconds. Did i miss something ?
I rolled my head on the keyboard, trying to avoid the Alt+F4 and ... nothing happens.
i will try later with a "no-Html5 (and more)" source
Quite cool idea :D, Graphics are also very pretty
Nice looking, cute, and fun, though hard. I played the HTML5 version in Chrome, and it started to lag really hard after 8-10 games. Music was nice, some more sounds would have been neat.
I really like the idea. I played this longer than some of the ones with more complex mechanics. It only got a little mean when the planets are all the way at the edge left or right. Nice game!
DaveDobson: Yes I know that, and I have alredy fixed it. Soon after the voting is done I will release a improved version.
I'm playing the web version and I get a "Game Over" immediately without even any interaction.
dr_soda: And you didn't click or something?
