Fun game, too bad you didn't get the time to polish it. A simple points system (+ for shooting asteroids, - for things hitting earth seems the logical choice) could have made this a lot better.

Yay orbital mechanics! Gravity seemed a bit harsh until I realized I can't actually crash into the Earth myself. I'm not sure the edge wrapping is a good idea, because it throws off your orbit -- then again, you can use it to your advantage. Smooth gameplay, nice and simple graphics, too bad you didn't have time to put in win/lose conditions and such.
I like the clean graphics and the orbiting mechanic was a nice touch. Obviously some win/lose conditions and a point system would be nice... and after that a fun powerup system. Nice start though!
Not much content but overall very fun. A nice twist on the classic atari asteroid game.
