Cute game.

Yay, finally some PICO-8 game! I've had enjoyed the game at the beginning, but won't take to long to get a little bit boring, I think it's because the main objective is not really established. Besides that, I'll always enjoy a nice space shooter like that!

This was a neat game! I really liked the visual aesthetic, and how you used pico-8 but still managed to mimic old arcade graphics and vector lines. The sound as well was really clean, and I liked the choices you made on that part. The ship controlled really well and I enjoyed the concept of having to orbit to stock up on ammo, then head out into space and fighting there too. I did have some buggy collision issues, with some shots hitting the asteroids but not destroying them, and I would have liked some indication on where asteroids were coming from, as I'd get a warning saying more were coming, but I'd then miss them and lose planet health as I was running around trying to find them. Overall this was a cute and neat game that was a fun little time waster

I like it, the controls though could be improved, it took me time to figure out how to start the game, though, overall, fun game

I love PICO-8 games, and this is fantastic. I've heard PICO-8 has many limitations, but you still managed to make a fully fledged game using it. Good job!

Nice game! Controlling the ship was a bit difficult and it could use some indication of where to go, but otherwise quite good :)

Well done. :) I really liked your game and the graphics. But it does kinda look a bit empty if you leave the main planet area..

:thumbsup:

I like the visuals and the audio, why can't I rate them? A bit more then just two planets would be nice, even if it's just visual reference.

Controlls are a little wierd. And i got this glitch when it zooms in the ship at the beggining of the game sometimes.

Good visuals and nice take on the classic asteroids game. Was difficult to react to incoming asteroids since movement is pretty slow and you don't have any indication of which planet an asteroid is headed for unless you can actually see it (which is difficult on such a small resolution). I also found it a bit weird that there is that clump of asteroids in the middle at the start, since they don't really move much and just kind of serve as a place for you to die accidentally

Simple idea, but very fun to play, I like it.

Very cute little game indeed (just couldn't not call it cute after seeing the first comment, heh), nice classic graphics. I don't really even know how exactly it's tied to the theme, but this little game is so good I don't even care :)
