This is a very barebone game, a good framework for a game but it's missing some elements.

Don't get me bad, this feedback is here to help you later on. It's a good start and you just need to do a bit more to have a fun game.

My main complains is about the control, moving the shield around the world feels a bit off with the mouse. I don't know how to explain this.

The constant stream of asteroid speeding up is a good thing, but with a bit of variation, it would feel much more fun. For instance, you could have some mini pause to allow the player to "rest" followed by a much faster phase and then a pause. Not just making the speed faster and faster but different.

The lack of sound makes the impact between the asteroid feel empty. I know there is no sound in space but it could help :)

I managed to make about 55 points. I like your art style thought, the planet is very nice and looks interesting.

Overall, a good proof that you are able to make game.

Thanks for this entry!
