Really enjoyed, ended up playing a lot longer than I expected haha. If I had to complain about something, I'd say that maybe having to hold down a button to shoot is unneccessary? I held the button the entire game, and had to quit before the end because my finger was hurting too bad.

Pretty cool. Played lone mode and it got overwhelming pretty quickly! Good job!

I like the inclusion of a co-op mode. I have to say, the laser sound got a bit grating after a while. But the game felt well balanced in terms of the pace of enemies vs the player's firepower.

Enjoyable game mechanic. Would have been more fun if it had flashy particle effects and was controlled by a mouse. This game could definitely be built upon to become a contender for geometry wars etc. Fun arcade with flashyness. The soundtrack was alright, but the sound effects were painful to listen to. Consider using sound effects that "fit in" with the music so it sounds coherent.

If you hold fire and don't turn you can't lose

The game is solid and fun for a few minutes. But somehow it never really ends (played until 2000 points before getting bored). Maybe you should increase the difficulty gradually.

Nice game. Definitely needs the scores and some asteroids could carry nuke bonus that destroys all the others. I was fun to play!

Hey guys thanks for the feedback!

@Altourus I did find that out after the 48 hrs was over, so unfortunately I didn't get that fixed.

@ The sounds issues. I don't want to make this sound like an excuse, but this game was created in 2 hours within 2 days, well because I didn't have much time, so this game is basically a very shallow game. Thus the sounds are very annoying :P

Hi there. I can see this being fun with groups of friends. Unfortunately my computer keyboard scanning only allows certain combinations of keydowns to be detected. I think this is fairly common - they are not fully 'polyphonic'. So... tested loner mode, played with 4-player a bit to discover can't hold QWVB and still expect arrows to do anything. Good job - but control scheme needs a test&customise option.

I don't really see the link with the theme :/
Nice arcade, though, maybe too easy.
The volume of the lasers' sounds is too high imho to enjoy the music

Yeah, I don't see the connection to the theme either, but for 2 hours of work it's certainly a pretty good game!

I need 3 other people! Good entry! I like co-op games. I did sort of end up just holding down Q and W in loner mode :P Sorry, I can't help myself!
