The movement feels really good here and I loved blasting up some space rocks. The music's got my head bobbing. I feel ENERGIZED! Nice level of polish with the title and about screen too.

I came up with a similar idea but had to throw it away. So I'm glad someone went with an outer space idea. I appreciate the controller support too. It plays nicely on a controller. A bit of a narrative question: Does the astronaut ever get to repair his ship? Or does he suicide collect energy? Because there may be ann opportunity for different results based on how much energy was collected.

A finished product! Congratulations. It probably needs some more content but for a 2 person team this is solid. It feels very polished and finshed in terms of what is available. I needed a minute to understand what is going on but I did get to a score of 10 and it was fun. Cool music and easy controls.

The feels good. Would be nice if asteroids would change sprites on hit. Some feedback for the player that it's hittable. Nice job!

Good visuals, controls, audio; wish there was more to the game. Can't tell if I'm missing something, but right now I can just break up to roughly 9 meteors before game over... I have the suspicion I'm supposed to return to a ship but can't find it :(

Pretty good game! I think being able to shoot up and down, as well as refill oxygen, would go a long way.

the music sounds very cool, especially the chip sound when I died lol. I wonder if there are multiple collectables in the game, or I am just unlocky to collet bolts all the times - but anyway good job!

Pretty solid little game. Controls felt pretty smooth. I did find the gameplay time to be quite short though.

Enjoyed playing this. The music perfectly fits the game. I think adding more type of asteroids and oxygen refill will make this game more interesting.

Nice project in Godot! The gameplay doesn't have a lot to give yet, I think because of a combination of A) the amount of time you have is static and B) there's no difficulty curve. If there's a next step for this game, I'd recommend looking in one of those two directions.

Otherwise the game looks and sounds really polished.

Fun and simple game. I really liked the sounds and movement.

Mr. Driller meets Asteroids; Love it! Speaking of Mr. Driller, maybe have power-ups that replenish your oxygen supply? Or have two modes, one with the power-up and one that's strictly scoring as high as possible in the limited time? Assuming you continue working on this.

I like the 50's sci-fi influence to the music track and the game over jingle sounds like what would play when a 90's cartoon character gets a game over.

Really enjoyed the idea and it has potential, however: - couldn't find the ship to get back. - oxygen tanks to add time would be good. - some indication (e.g. UI health bar) of meteor being damaged as I wasn't sure my gun was doing anything at first.

Other than that, very cool!
