So, potatos. Poland can into space now?

Fantastic! Potato asteroids are very dangerous! I love the walking animation on the spaceman, it's a shame there was no audio for your weapon firing, or potatoes exploding, however I think the music of epic proportion made up, great job :)

The music is so intense it cracks me up! The gameplay was a bit bland but for sure but man was it entertaining. Well done.

Man, guys... the end of the first section destroyed me, such an unexpected twist! Simple mechanics but you guys nailed it in the fun and humour stakes. Great job!

actually was happy to keep playing until i made it to mars, im impressed by the variety of stuff you guys put in, next time add some sound effects to add a little bit of extra to your game

I couldn't load in FireFox (black screen) although it showed "Loading".
but no worries, it works in Chrome!

I like the cartoonish style and the potato reference :)
And also that "big" surprise from stage 1

All in all i think the music really make the game. It gives an intense feel but no overly done.

Good job!

I tried loading it in Firefox, and it worked OK. I don't know what it was. The loading takes some time because all the assets are being downloaded before the game starts.

Sadly just loading :(

Chrome works fine, but Firefox had the following errors:
screen.init is not a function
screen.update is not a function

If these are optional functions of a canvas, perhaps protecting them with a try block would get things further?

Short, but very enjoyable. I particularly liked the variety of gameplay available.

I did feel like the very first level, the asteroid field between Earth and Mars, was far too hard (though obviously I got past it). There's very little reaction time available between when most of the asteroids appear on screen, and when they can hit you. Even a slight reduction in asteroid speed could make a difference there.

For the final bit, shooting down the asteroids, I thought it could last a little longer, and ramp up more from easy to hard difficulty challenge.

Great game!

I also thought the first part was a bit to hard, but Slime_Blue said it was too easy, so we decided to leave it like this. I have no idea what is the problem with firefox, I tried it with firefox both on windows, and on lubuntu, and the game worked fine. I am a bit hopeless about that bug that I can't seem to reproduce.

Didn't work for me in Chrome >_<'
