Neat game. i like the theme a lot - space pirates! it was difficult to figure out what to do with the movable asteroids. i thought i could move them (tractor beam?) or shoot them into place. the nonviolent option is really interesting and worth exploring
Awesome game. But I really didn't understand where the theme "you only get one" came in. Would have liked to see a lot more of that.
Other then that the graphics were awesomely retro. Gameplay with the non violent options (using the tractor beam to hold the asteroid in as a shield and steer it) was something I haven't seen before. Great idea.
Nice game, fun to play, but very far from the theme :-(

Felt like far too often i was shooting at enemies i couldn't see yet to prevent them shooting at me. Some music would have really helped. Weapon (or non-weapon) differences helped keep it fresh but it was still not particularly replayable imo.

Cute graphics. But I cant recognize the theme in this. Just the ability with the ships? Loved the spaceship's gfx though :D
nice! i really wanted to make a game like this. reminds me of overkill and tyrian. i really liked the different ships the idea of moving astroids is great. it was too hard for me - it restarted me on the second level after i took one hit, and i couldn't avoid taking one hit (because i'm old and slow) but nicely done.
A very fun game but next time try to stick closer to the theme. You'll be surprised with what you can come up!

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
You Only Get One ability/weapon on your ship - seemed to me like that fit the theme pretty well.
Amazing name!
I love the hand-drawn look of the rocks and debris, the starry background has a nice look to it as well. I think this game could be better if it was a little faster paced, and the explosions weren't so loud.
Fun little shooter! Tractor ship was a little too hard to play :P

Couldn't find the theme, but I loved this none-the-less. Good work!

Nice pixel art and gameplay mechanics, but I think that the camera view is a bit limited.
The not seeing enemies didn't bother me at all, it was actually alot of fun to dodge the shooting. Well done for 48h!! :)
I didn't see ld theme in this game.
GOod job!

I see the potential of the different weapons, but it needs a stronger level design I think. Maybe in a post-compo version of the game? :)
Liked the ship gfx and the minimal layouts that made you have to use patience and tactics to get around the off screen bad guys. Nice work, the huge ships that just poured laser death were evil. :p

Nice shooter. I didn't understand how to play with the Repulsor and the Tractor.
Nice animations. :)
