It's pretty cool overall and the progression seems fair, but the one hit death is kind of unfair and doesn't give the motivation to restart the game, maybe the inclusions of rare and definitive upgrades could be cool.

But it's a great job, well done.

Fair enough. I was considering making some shield or extra life upgrades, but was running short on time. I'll look into added those in the next update. I was also considering making some rarer upgrades that can grant new abilities.

Awesome concept, very satisfying to destroy the asteroids. Really like the progression options. I also verbally said "oh shit" when an asteroid flew across screen going light speed and killed me instantly lol. Great job!

Like the building on the basics of Asteroids! It was a litle confusing what bits where materials to me at first, a UI element that shows what they look like would be helpful (but I figured it out!). I ran out of fuel so I didn't do too well but I liked it! The rotation speed is annoyingly slow, though, I'd speed that up a bit. If you were trying to go for realism, spin boosters or something would assist that. Otherwise, I liked it!

An interesting take on Asteroid for sure. I like the collecting resources and upgrade mechanic. The controls on the ship are a bit clunky to start out and as others have said the one hit death makes it pretty undesirable to start over.

Cool take on the theme! I felt the rotation speed of the craft was a bit slow, and that kinda hampered further stuff in the game. I didn't get a lot of the cool moments of zipping around asteroids that the speed of some of the asteroids seemed to suggest would be cool.

I got a little sad when I died after one asteroid hit, but still a great game ^^

An interesting game, but I would have liked it if the turning speed was faster.
