What do you think?

Despite lack of controller support ( this game does not require controllers as much as other vintage style games given the navigation style i guess) and how hard it can get, i still enjoyed the Hell out of this game!!!....to the point of me doing a little review of it at the site I work at.

Keep up the awesome work!!!! (and let me know if you do add controller support to this in the future...and perhaps if we could actually host the game download as well)

Controller Support????? Please!! this would so work with Dual analogue and triggers!!!!!!

This game is pretty cool, although it would be nice to have in-game instructions (I played loads of times without knowing that going faster gives you more points) and a different asteroud color, since sometimes they get hidden in the explosions.
Also, it would be nice to keep the ship more centered in the screen when you go full speed, my mouse kept getting out of the window while i was aiming. :) (Still, if I played in fullscreen, that wouldn't happen).

TheGuardian, to get more points, try to speed it up a lot on the beginning, then just keep your speed and shoot every asteroid that might threaten you. (don't worry if you waste a lot of shots, tho worst that can happen is to go slow-mo, and then it's pretty easier to get time at full speed ;) )

Nice game, a bit hectic for my tastes and it is a tad too easy to get lost in the explosion graffix. How do you survive longer though, I saw someone online with 50seconds. :O

I managed 16 at best :(

Thanks for the mac version too, not many mac games here. So I have to Bootcamp a lot.

A bit more on the creation aspect:

****On the design and presentation side the game features retro-styled black and white graphics, huge explosions, a catchy soundtrack and a scoreboard to compete against your friends. The game had not only to be challenging, but also it had to look fun and engaging.

Due to time and budget (a.k.a. none) constraints a minimalistic look was chosen. On the upside this allows the in-game typography to shine.
