A good small game. At first it seemed that you had to be just lucky to get those asteroids hit your planet, but there were ways to get them closer. Aliens seemed to be just a nuisance, I found out that the best way to get big is just to ignore them and try to direct the asteroids to hit you. If you tried to attack them it would often just result in asteroids getting blasted away from you.
I liked the music, it didn't feel too repetitive and the sound effects were nice too. Physics worked well enough. For negatives, My planet once decided to go outside the screen. And even if you wanted, it was very hard to defend yourself from the aliens when the planet was on the bottom side of the screen and the aliens attacked from the bottom side.
PS. I played the web version.

Cool game! I had a lot of trouble before I figured out that you just basically need to hit the big asteroids. I think the ships are a bit weak as a mechanic in the sense that one can just totally ignore them and still win. In fact, I thought it was easier to win when I ignored the alien ships. One big gripe I have is that the missiles don't explode on collision with enemy ships. This just runs counter to typical shooter convention. =P Solid entry!

Interesting idea for an entry! For my taste the sound was way too loud, I had difficulties to hit big asteroids(hitboxes might be too small) and the rockets seemed too big compared to the size of Earth) Fun entry anyway!
