Couldn't click on the start button for some reason.

Can't seem to point myself at 'em before they've blown me to smithereens in short order. Though that's probably me.

Found that my ship was moving sluggishly? Either way, its awesome that you were able to integrate a high-score system in the timeframe!

Impressive for 48 hours, the controls are a bit stiff but they seem solid. I had fun. I especially like that you included a leaderboard, very cool

The game could be a bit faster, but it's nicely done.

I got a real strong cowboy bebop vibe while flying toward the blue planet for like 3 minutes

@VilliX I think it runs pretty good for having 500 asteroids and nearly 200 enemies.

@Orange - try minimizing the browser or switch to another browser if it's Chrome. Unity had been acting up like that in my own game.

@Samuel - Congrats on finishing a game! With the new Unity, eh? I was worried people might have issues with it so I reverted to 4.5. Anyway, the game was cute, but I actually could not destroy any of the pods. Wasn't fast enough to dodge their bullets and it seems they kill me faster than I kill them...

Nice job! Liked the trail effect@

Awww yeah, #1 on the high scores... for a few minutes, anyway. OK so I liked the concept of the game, destroying asteroids and things to protect the planet. The ship was a little hard to control though, just because the environment is so large, I think. Another thing that made it difficult was the asteroids' dark brown color against the black background. I was squinting trying to see them. I love doing barrel rolls though, so fun! And the font you chose was perfect -- what is it? I'm impressed you got a high score list up and running within the time frame.

@ruthiepee - Thanks! The font I used was Cinema Gothic

Same problem here: clicking start does not start (Win8.1-64bits/Chrome/Unity Player - Version: 4.5.3.161466)

I can't play decently because the controls aren't good enough

@slowfrog, @leDragoon, if it is has faded out then it will take a little bit for the game to actually load

I like the graphics, the trail on the bullets was nice. I agree with some of the others that it was a bit slow. The inclusion of the leaderboard is a nice touch.

Doesn't run well on the old work comp, but a fun shooter regardless :)

Very impressive for 48 hours! I liked you had a high scores table too. Controls could be a bit better but it plays well enough. Great job!

cool game but the ship and fire rate is really slow, I also think the aim is off, if you put the cross hair on target you actually fire slightly under it.

🎤 Samuel Arminana

@mechabit, the crosshair is placed where the bullet will hit at the longest distance.

Slow to maneuver and slow to find enemies but I really like the idea and the atmosphere. Though I must say that white page background made the game really difficult to see! Once I manually adjusted the page color from white to black the game became a easier to play.

nice environment, music and spacecraft. it took a while to get to the enemys and then i got killes instantly. a litte more contol over the craft and more gameplay would be cool. keep it up!
