Tried to make orbits using the asteroids but I think you've coded it so I can't right? ;D\r<br\/>Not so fond of the colours, but I'm not good with colours anyway. Like the font, music is okay.

It's sorta weird that if you just fling the asteroids really slowly, you'll usually hit something because of the gravity.
