Once I understood the interface, I started to enjoy it quite a lot. I love the spacey physics, the indication of the velocity helps a lot and gives it a kind of "technical" feel, which is appropriate. Of course, the content could be more elaborate, but for this short time, it's awesome!
The controls get a little frustrating, and I'm not always sure what I'm purchasing when I click on the green pluses. But I think the potential is there for a fun game. I did enjoy eventually clearing out enough asteroids and blasting through the space. Kudos!
Pretty fun! I enjoyed that the launch pad moved in space. A arrow or something to point towards the wormhole would help.
Good game even if a bit hard and hard to understand first time.
The linux version do work \o/. Neat game, It's fun to blow stuff.
Great concept, nice level and rocket velocity system. Space to blow up seemed to stop working after one game over, had to restart to fix each time.
This one is a lot of fun. I'm a sucker for physics-ey space games, but the mechanic of the explosion pushing the station was really cool (if not entirely realistic, but it was fun so who cares). One thing that could have been cool is having the thrust from your ship push against objects, to give an alternate way of moving things that was more difficult to do but didn't create a shockwave that moved your station. I had a lot of fun with this though, great job.
Wow there is a lot of detail in this game as far as gameplay goes, also very challenging requiring a bit of patience to get a hang of. Nice work.
Good physics, neat premise. Going slow though seemed to be the best course and I wouldn't have the patience to see it through. Better signage would help
Interesting. The controls on the spaceship are realistic, which is actually in this case not a good thing. It feels very hard to control, and I ended up fighting more against the ship than against the asteroids. The actual action of trying to work through the asteroids worked very well, and was a lot of fun. The only petty annoyance I have is that the UI is not very descriptive. Other than that, good game. Also, just being real here, those asteroids are butt ugly. But hey, ludum dare art, what can ya do?
Surprisingly open spaced. Pun intended.
Enjoyed playing through this little game. Found the turning a bit wonky but other than that was fun to play.
Since there are no gravity wells to eat your delta-V, I think you could do it with a single ship and a lot of patience. But it was fun to play and try to keep the rocket under control... or not :) SAS would help a lot to make it more controllable, i.e. gradually cancelling angular velocity.
A bit hard to control, but I like the idea to use a rocket to move objects around the screen. A bit more polish and this could be a nice app for portable devices. At least this is the kind of game I'd play on the go on my cell phone.
Gameplay felt smooth but I found the rockets hard to control, the UI was nice and had a great way of showing rocket's current direction, definitely an idea with lots of potential.

i did it!
this feels like one of those games i'd find on shareware cds back in the day and play for hours, just good simple fun
turning was quite difficult though and a map would have been nice i think
Well I had fun playing it, but even after 3 attempt, I still have no idea on how I get money.
Quite cryptic but very nice entry.
Nice game! Just Newtonian controls is not my couple of tea.
Hard to maneuver your ship, then again that's why you're expected to crash into asteroids to clear a path! :) Fun idea but the game itself is a little rough around the edges. Then again, this is expected for a LD compo entry.
Decent entry.
