Simple and engaging game. This was me a second after starting playing: "AAAAAAH!"
Two things. First, is there a limit to how much you can shoot? After a while I seemed to not be able to shoot for a few seconds. Secondly, the controls were fine most of the time, but again, after a while, I seemed to lose control and be stuck close to the edge of the screen.
I really liked how the laser changed colors.
Amazing game , Would play all the time!!
A few bugs here and there but still best game so far!!
This game is really polished!The music is absolutely amazing!
The audio was pretty good, and the gameplay was enjoyable. It’d be nice if you could restart a bit quicker after you die.
Simple but effective, this game is fun, Gg.
Graphics and audio are perfact,and every things is great,but a little difficult,anyway,five star!
Nice job! Fun game!
I wish I could just hold the mouse button down to shoot. Actually, there is no point in not shooting so it might as well auto-shoot without any input. Apart from that it's a fun little game though.
Nice game! The music loop got old quick, but I like the idea! I think I ran out of ammo at some point, and got stuck. Great job!
As someone mentioned it would be nice if we could shoot by holding the mouse button. Other than that it is a nice take on the theme! I played before reading the description so I was surprised (in a good way) when I got hit and my size increased. Good job!
After getting a hang of the controls, I found myself seeking out likely asteroids to hit rather than avoiding everything. Nice concept to merge two play goals at once (avoid and hit). The music kind of started to grate though after a few plays. Asteroid graphics were good, felt very retro.
Simple enough to focus on the core play. Yet it's really challenging. Music is awosome. As @harark has mentioned, I meet the two bus too.

Thank you for all the feedback. I put out an update that should fix the bugs you mentioned and takes your feedback into account. Enjoy :)
The black background makes it hard to feel if I'm moving or not, I would recommend to add a galaxy background texture.
Nice and engaging game! Just the right amount of frustration when you are not fast enough! Great job!
Nice and funny little game!
Nice little game, I loved the multicolors lasers you shoot. I think you could improve a bit the game by addind a background, to show the players your moving. In the beggining, I though I was stuck on a square at the middle of the screen :D
Nice game! Music was a bit repetetive... Impact effect was very cool!
Also maybe powerups would add a bit more to the game.
Good entry!"
interesting game definitely fun to play, nut sure if that's really the theme but it was a nice ride
Catchy tune, easy to grasp game play, using the mouse to point/shoot in a direction was definitely the way to go, hits look and feel like they hurt so good job there, and the way the ship grows is fun to watch. I actually stood still to get hit because I wanted to see the ship grow larger - lol. For some reason I kept hearing like a scratchy white noise sounding piece in the music that bothered my ears, like a high pitched speaker scratching sound. My only other suggestion would be to remove the holding down to shoot and make it click to shoot because otherwise the game is rather easy if I just keep rotating the mouse. That, or make the bullets lose power when fired in a continuous stream make it so that I can hold down to fire rapidly but to destroy the meteors faster I have to let go of the trigger and fire again.
Really funny we had the same idea!!!

Nice arcade game with right amount challenge! I liked the simple visuals and sounds. I just wish there was some sort of background or something as times it felt almost as if I couldn’t move. Or I wasn’t sure if I was moving. Good job!
