Cool game! Like the art :)

At the start of the game I have to buy a spaceship to delay the big asteroid. This leaves me with enough money for 1 turret, but I was only ever able to break 1 small asteroid with a turret. So I loose quickly every time, without feeling like I can make a difference. Did I miss something?

There is a little probelm with the turret, how you described than, @nuelijarma, you need to refrash the page, then it should work. Sorry, i discovered this issue after submitting. :( Thanks for review :)

Nice work! The art assets look really nice and the music and sounds really fit the style. The finite points to mount lasers and the cap on rockets means that, ultimately, you really are only delaying the inevitable. So nice work on fitting the theme.

I did encounter two bugs. If you are playing the game and the asteroids have reached a higher level of difficulty then you restart the game from the pause menu, the first asteroids that spawn have the same difficulty as the previous game - so you can't destroy them with a single laser. The other bug comes later in the game when you have a bunch of little asteroids colliding behind the main asteroid - I think they are generating thousands of collisions among themselves and the game really lags out.

Overall, though, I really enjoyed playing your game. Well done!

@human-writes-code thanks for your feedback! I forgot to mention in the desribtion that we did not create the art ourselfs, I edited it now :)
