Quite simple but functional. Good work !
Nice game :) Interesting twist having to collect energy
For some reason the controls just wouldn't work for me (Q took me left, D right, and S down). Seems like a neat idea though!
The music is catchy! I wasn't able to move left and up for some reason. Anyway, I felt it a bit too punishing: maybe some more asteroids could have helped while also having a clear goal to reach/accomplish.
Interesting mechanics, nice audio! We also made a game about space, come check it out!
Controls were bugged for me. Could only go right and down. Ship handles well. Catchy song.
I'm not sure if it's only bugging out on mine, but i can only move downwards or to the left.

Looks like fun but I think it's a little bit difficult to play with non-french keyboard layout. The game seems to use ZQSD while english keyboards (and many others) have WASD. Maybe it would be better to use cursor keys for movement instead of ZQSD?
And the settings item in the main menu is not working by the way.
Nice concept, I guess a good simple game can be made out of it. Also, paralax effect when flying is cool. However, for some reason when I press W or A my cursor appears and the ship doesn't move. Also, settings button is for some reason is not functional. I don't know if it is only my problem. I tried using Google Chrome and Opera browsers. P.S. Saw your controlls hint and I guess you are using AZERTY layout. I thing you should make an option to change controlls for QWERTY or AZERTY layouts. People are a bit confused by ZQSD movement.
Thought this was a cute game, I liked the visuals and the audio. As others have mentioned I think the control scheme would have been better as WASD but other than that, nice work!
I'm using a QWERTY layout and WASD worked for me - was only confused for a little by the documentation. It's a fun, quick game to play and a nice twist on the tradition asteroid game. It felt like the rate energy is used speeds up far too rapidly, effectively making the best strategy to _never_ move.
An interesting take on a fairly standard type of game, the space shooter. Gameplaywise, the concept of needing energy in order to do pretty much anything is actually a pretty unique design choice, I'd say. I found myself questioning a lot of choices that I otherwise wouldn't have thought twice about, like moving around to search for new asteroids. It forces the player to be smart about movement and shooting in order to survive, and I definitely think it helps set the game apart from others like it! The music and sounds were also a nice addition, I especially liked the look of the background. :)
While playing I did encounter some things that confused me a bit. The way the energy usage worked was a bit of a mystery for me, especially in regards to movement. At first I thought that movement only drained energy when you _started_ moving, and that holding down the button didn't cause the energy to continually decrease. But after messing around a bit, it seems like W and A cause a continuous decrease, while D and S only decrease right when you press them. I'm not sure if this what was you intended, but was a bit confusing nonetheless. Along with this, there were times where my energy speedily decreased for no apparent reason, almost as though I was hitting an invisible asteroid. I'm unfortunately not sure what caused this, though, I'm sorry I can't be of more help. :( At one time, I also spawned inside an asteroid after restarding, killing me pretty quickly.
Overall, I think you had a unique concept for a game! As said, the game had a few setbacks, but it doesn't change the fact that it was a well made submission. Good job!
This is a nice little game. I think that a bit of balancing would help as moving seemed to require more energy that was sustainable, but I liked the music and overall it was a fun game!
Neat little game. Controls with the movement felt pretty awkward though and after a short time I could no longer move to the left. Looking at the other comments though, it seems to be a common issue.
