Music is very, very loud.
Takes a while before there's any challenge. Being able to shoot would probably be more fun, but not as minimal, I agree.

Needs a little bit more speed... but i like the pacifistic gameplay...

Great spaceship graphics
I like it but the mouse for movement would have been better. Since that would make it easier to move. And there is no way to shoot right? But over all i like it and the sound is grate.
Clever mechanic, it really made me hate how big my ship was. It was fun getting the hang of shrinking down and maneuvering around obstacles. I wish it were a bit faster, is all. It took a long time for it to really get going, I felt.
Sorry for the comment spam, wasn't meant to be two comments to start with, and I can't edit them apparently, and I need to say that the music thing was my flash player being really silly. Volume is fine!
the asteroid looks like gollum!
No sound in space, except for thumping dance-techno.
Thank you all for the comments!
I agree that the game takes too long to take off, will tweak that after the compo.
And i thought everyone knew that stars radiate techno music :)
No sound in space, but there's a techno soundtrack? ;) Takes a while to get hard, which is a shame, I like the core idea.
Can tell I it slow or if my computer can't run it ? Really slow :/
Well it's very slow to start, wish there was a tad more feedback to the player and "feel" to the game. I can see what you were getting at though!
Good effort going on here :)
Fun but slow and graphics could use animation
There is no sound in space. Except for very loud techno.
Pretty well done game. It could be a lot faster though. The shrinking effect was done well, but there could have been a bit more situations to use it for instead of just the blue walls.
A little slow to get started, but not bad thereafter!
Liked the concept but yeah definitely needed to be a bit faster-paced.
Shrinking the space ship, now that's something different as far as shmups go. I also like the humor to justify the lack of sound effects. The background and asteroids need some work, but the ships designs are well done for a 48 hour effort.
Thank you all!
I should clarify that the ships and asteroids aren't mine, i got them off OpenGameArt.
Isn't weird that once I let go of the spacebar my bar still goes down?
The Hold bar is how long you'll stay shrunk and is always decreasing, basically the more you shrink the less time you'll stay that way.
I like that the theme in this game is a tool available (or further, essential) to the player. I'd love to see it developed further (since at the moment, I only have to use it with the beam obstacles and it'd be cool if there were more challenging uses of it that were necessary), but it's a fairly solid game as it is.
Boring - action comes very late.
The music is nice but isn't fitting the slow paced action.
The shrinking mechanism is a pretty good idea but the implementation could use some more thinking. I can't put my finger on it though, sorry.
