Interesting game. Not going counter-clockwise is a bit annoying. ;) I think it might work better if the asteroids didn't come out so fast at the start. I found it took me a few times to get the hang of things.

I wasn't able to get the game to start, or maybe to capture the keyboard input. There was no loading screen, I just saw a field of cross-like shapes moving to the left.
Used: Firefox 12.0, Win 7.
jwolf, the game assets probably just didn't load, try refreshing the page or clearing your cache.
Game just showed me a screen with a scrolling starfield, couldn't play.
Just tested the game in Firefox, and it seems to be only loading the background, but it works fine in Chrome. Very weird.
Couldn't get it to work in Firefox either. Otherwise, I think that it would have been interesting to have the asteroids be a hazard for the player as well as the planet.
Okay, I fixed the problem with it not working in other browsers, it is updated on the post compo version.
Now just because I do website testing at work does not mean that I have every browser installed on my hom...oh wait, there it is.
It does indeed work in Chrome. If there are any sound assets, however, I'm not hearing them.
I did not have time to add sound sadly.
Few times where I thought I was in place for a repair but it start and lost the game :'(
I had some fun so it qualifies as a game! well done :D
Suffers from simply becoming impossible, rather than difficult. Promising, if more time is put into it.
Interesting concept, has some similarities to my own take on the theme. I thought it was weird that the asteroids did not hurt the player, and the speed and quantity of them quickly became overwhelming.
was too hard for me to play only moving to the right! liked the graphics :)
Good idea but too hard at the start
I think this is a nice idea but its too tough just moving right atm!
Great concept!
I think you should fix the bugs about not being able to fix cracks since its your core mechanic. That being said I think the game will be very difficult. If you were to expand the main mechanic to be a sort of tower defense game where you have to maintain the planet so it could defend itself, that could be very cool.
The crack bug was fixed in the post compo version, I will be adding more to the game after all voting is finished.
The counter clockwise thing is a pretty unfortunate bug. This is a good start though. Needs powerups and crazy music. :)
