Very intecting concept. This game has a nice style

I like the retro aesthetic. Simple and easy to understand gameplay, a bit hard to tell your distance from asteroids sometimes perhaps, but that was a common issue with many retro games.

Good execution, i like the aesthetic. Sometimes it feels like it is impossible to dodge an asteroid, but maybe im just not good at this game 8)

Cool game, interesting art style. Keep up the good work!

Easy to learn to play, and nice retro game aesthetic. Great job.

The game is simple, but addictive.

Fun! Hard to learn, but pretty good

amazing! very simple yet it looks and feels so good! do you have tips on how to not die in the first 20 seconds tho? lol

Very original and simple game. Loved how the graphics and the audio complemented the overall aesthetics. At first didn't understand how changing orbits would save me from some asteroids but it can really be done. LOLed when a satellite went "pftpftpft" besides my ship. Excellent work!

The presentation is absolutely stellar and really harkens back to that classic retro style(I especially like the different colors and the optional scan lines!). I found the perspective a bit challenging to wrap my brain around, though the game is still quite fun in spite of it, great job!

Very neat game, definitely tough to grasp at first though.

I love the retro graphics and audio. I had fun with it but I had a lot of trouble surviving. The perspective made it pretty hard to tell when something was actually going to collide. Death often seemed unavoidable to me. It's entirely possible I'm just very, very bad at it, though :smiley:

Cool entry! Nice retro style and good use of such a simple mechanic. The leaderboard dared me to play more and more...

Really nice minimalistic game! I dig the art style and audio a lot, it's so little and yet it works so well. It's also quite fun to play, albeit a bit frustrating too. I felt like there were situations where I couldn't possibly have dodged, but maybe that's just my low skill level. I also found myself keeping space pressed all the time and just let it go quickly to dodge, it just felt like I could get farther with this approach, so I'd suggest thinking about inverting the controls maybe.

I like the retro pixelated look! Its hard to tell depth, which makes this game hard.

Nice little game! It's a bit challenging though.

I wanted the game to be fun but it was too hard for me as is. Visually it was great, and I loved the simplicity of it and the retro feel with the scanline effect.

I think it would help a lot if there were three shades of color - darker, normal, and lighter - to show when an asteroid is under me (I can go over it), at my level (I will collide with it and get hurt), or above me (I can go under it). Once I found out that I could go under some, I had trouble knowing when was ok or when I would just crash; I think having separate shades of color would help with that. Also, it would be nice if all the asteroids spawned far enough around the circle from me that I had time to notice them before they got me.

I picked blue, and my high score was 130. Great work!

Визуальный стиль замечательный. Респект художнику. Отдельное спасибо за управление. Люблю простое управление в аркадах.

I really loved the visuals, that’s an eye candy.
