It's a pretty basic shooter, that should be easy to play, but man is that control scheme jacked up. Why couldn't you just do WASD?

I'm sorry about it, I'm european so my keyboard is an azerty one. I think you can switch configuration by pressing alt+shift.

Hi there. Liked the sounds and visuals. Found the movement tricky.

Kind of a cool take on asteroids! You might want to try adding larger bullets, it was a but tricky and hard to aim.

Thanks for not using WASD :D Nice idea but this really hard!! It would be nice if we could upgrade the weapon.

Great idea for a game but the controls are really difficult on QWERTY setups.

Having an arrow key control scheme as a backup might be a good idea for the future!

Like the part that it bounces the red points instread of just destroing them

as others have said, the controls really need to be more standard.

Other than that very cleanly executed (though simple) little game.

Very simple and to the point. It works! Except... the control scheme doesn't, for me. Makes the game very difficult to control. I know you're aware of it already. :) Good job!

Simple but fun idea :) It would be nice if you would add power ups etc. in the future. And if you would allow to chose key scheme that would also be nice :P I'm from european country (Poland) but we use here qwerty keyboard scheme.

Most european keyboards are QUERTY, but some french ones are AZERTY, WASD is a standart, not ZQSD so... It's hard to play it :/

I have an ISO-ES, an ISO-DE and ANSI-US keyboard, all of them QUERTY :(

Particle system is awesome!

Simple but enjoyable!

really nice game

Cool idea, but this really should have had an option for arrows/WASD. This is why games should really have an arrows option or customizable controls. (Says the guy who hasn't ever actually implemented the latter.) At least QWERTY users get a taste of what everyone else has to deal with.

Cool particle effect but you could haved juiced up the graphics (smilies! :P)
