So, I’ve done a lot of work over the last few days, but didn’t want to post until my whole list of goals was done.

First, I switched out the laser still image for a raycasted one that doesn’t go through the asteroids like the old one did.

Next, I made the gems split off into pieces when they’re broken.

You then collect them with the tractor beam like a vacuum.

As you can see, I also added a starry background to make it more obvious that the center asteroid circle is rotating.

I finally added a way to pause the game.

Last, I made something happen when the ship gets damaged all the way. At that point, the cat goes into a bubble that you have to come back and get. You lose all your gem shards, and a new cat in the ship respawns.
