A cool little game! I like the premise, but it seems to be quite derivative of Asteroids. I think the originality and audio could be improved, but otherwise it's very fun to play!

Nice idea for a game. I would like more enemies to spawn when the minimum space is reached.
I found this really enjoyable! Sounds for me are like from old NES etc so it's nice. Sometimes I got stuck when I was near wall. Difficult is hard and this is making game really fun.
Really good job. It's hard, but that doesn't ruin the experiene. Great game!
Very hard game! I liked it. Next time maybe try adding music.
Fun! The design/theme flaw, though, is that running out of space isn't a bad thing! You can just camp in a corner and shoot everything that comes at you, unless it spawns on your nose which is pretty unfair. If you could figure out a fix for this, this would be fun to play!
Simple but fun! Took me some time to understand the way to stop walls in the beginning, and once I understood it became a bit too easy. But overall that was nice.
Fun and theme appropriate take on an old title!
Fun game ! But I find the controls quite difficult to master.
I find the controls a tad difficult to use, but other than that, its a very nice game!
Like pace said, you can just go to a corner and kill from there.
Very fun game but its easy to crash the mechanics and score infinitely (and thats not fun :// ) Anyway great entry
nice little game!, the movement and style remind me a lot of good ol' asteroids, easy to learn hard to master control, very well done !
nice gqme but controls are difficut to use .other things are good
asteroid with this theme apparently works. :D simple but fun to play.
Tricky controls nonetheless good game.
Tough game, would be a bonus if you could hold down space to keep firing. Good effort!
A tiny but funny game ^^
very difficult and with retro graphics! liked it!
Nice game. Reminds me of some old arcade games.
Retro graphics and difficulty <3
A good little game :) Nice retro graphics and sound, but the difficulty was a bit too high Would have been good to be able to control with mouse and hold space to shoot continuously, Otherwise great!
Game mechanics work well, no problems with controls etc. Graphics fit the retro-style.
But once you beat about 40 enemies and the map does not get smaller, the number of spawning enemies is very low (Do you let them spawn and get destroyed instantly if they are out of the map?)
You applied the theme to asteroids, but to me it does not really work out. The gameplay does not motivate very long, especially in "late game".
Maybe some explosions for the enemies would have been nice. Also some bonus items for different/stronger weapons as well as new types of enemies and maybe some mechanism to be able to temporarily grow the map again. Like some items you have to collect to prevent the edges from crushing you...
Nice entry! As the guy on your itch.io page said, camping in the corner is a critical design flaw that can give the player an infinite score and make the game last indefinitely. This is the only major problem that I see however, and general gameplay is pretty smooth. The ability to drift and turn and shoot behind you is nice. Graphics and sound effects are serviceable. Overall well done!
Nice game, Love how everything is balanced! Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam! Game Link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/spacelab-42a
