Game crash when gate is destroyed (preventing restart) should be fixed now.

I really liked the way the player was controlled.

Solid controls. Good gameplay concept, made it difficult. Audio, graphics, everything well executed. One of my top picks this year.

like the mechanics of the game, feels very smooth! :)

Great work on the controls, the boost works very well.. at first I had no idea what to do, after some alien / enemies or some kind were showing up.

The ship controls really nicely with the mouse, and it combines with the atmospheric music for a really pleasant experience. I also love the polygonal look of the asteroids. Well done!

The game controls perfectly and has consistent and visuals. Really good dude!

I didn't get if there's a goal or not though :)

Solid controls, but crazy difficult to play it.
A little bit of mercy would be nice. D:

Smooth gameplay. I've missed some tutorial, but I really like this game

Added some basic instructions to the description.

Once I get it, I find that game neat. The control on the direction by stick might be more precise, but this is still neat.

Nice variation on Asteroids. The controls were fluid and after a bit of practise I could move things around quite reliably. The sounds and particles really made it feel polished.

Sadly, that game is too hard for me.

That being said... I love the graphics, star field, very nice particle systems! The ship is very pleasing to control, actually it was so fun I spent most of my time fooling and boosting around.

Having a small ship is a nice touch, it gives a nice feeling of "deep space" when playing in full screen.

Having "soft borders" instead of invisible walls made sense (can't get too far of the warp gate) and improved immersion.

Nice back story too!

Very fun game to play. The core mechanic works surprisingly well and though the game is difficult, you feel like you can really improve. Nice graphics and sound.

Solid little game, but the controls are merciless in the beginning.

The stars in the background is just amazing to look at. The graphics are simple and awesome! Gameplay feels smooth and relaxing. Bit hard to hid the crystals to the portal. Other than that, it's a great game! Good job!

Neat game, really awesome graphics, but I wasnt really sure what to do... I included it in part 10 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/3cEj0moqZLI
