Awesome Game!
Just played the game, and first off I have to say that when I loaded the game the sound BLASTED through my headphones louder than I set it to. Its probably just a glitch, but you should get it checked out. Second, the controls. I can barely move the ship to where I want it to go. Plus, the game is basically a remix of Atari's Asteroid game in HD. So over all, I would probably rate this game a 3/5. If you can make it have better controls and a different play style (plus squash some bugs) this game could potentially take off. But don't take my word for it, I'm just another game developer.
