Good job, actually - unlike majority of games - we can play in browser and the game works good. Congrats for that ! The stars background is actually quite cool at the begining, the sort of warping effect. Not sure about the projectile going in diagonal I don't know if it's on purpose !
I appreciate the progression of difficulty, it's well designed and the game didn't get insanely difficult too quickly
Simple gameplay loop with a pretty nice difficulty curve.
My only major complaint is that the collision boxes seem a bit oversized; I occasionally take a hit I thought I dodged.
Strong core game here, nice job!
Simple, but what is here is excellent. I adore that the consequence for shooting is to create annoying obstacles for your future self. That mixed with the natural increase of 1 asteroid per km makes for a good difficulty pacing. There's a bunch of situations where I wouldn't have died had i shot an asteroid, but I didn't consider it mandatory fast enough. I like that because shooting is a tool you should use, although it seems like a tool to avoid at all cost.
I thought the trajectories of the incoming asteroids was done well. I like how there's varying angles and speeds. This game does a good job of not making the asteroids feel incredibly boring.
The bug where a shot made while you are moving upwards moves up {and same with down} is pretty funny. Honestly this could be a sweet mechanic in a different game, since there could be an interesting skill to aiming those shots. Obviously out of place here.
Like others have said, the pacing felt great. I like how there's a bit of strategy involved deciding when to shoot
Works well in Linux but I did not get sound, is that a bug? The basic game is there, congrats for getting the technology working! It is very hard to hit the asteroids. I suggest making them slower and the bullets faster.
