First two times I thought the asteroids were collectibles. *_*
@Voxel It's not ideal but it always shows your highest score in the top right and if the tweet button is what you're after, dying is easy enough, then you're free to edit the tweet with your highest score.
I'm just not sure how much does it fit the theme, though. I don't care about the graphics, theme-wise. To me, what really makes or breaks an entry (again, theme-wise) is how much the overall design, encompassing both gameplay and mechanics, shows it's been created with the theme in mind, and not the other way around. And this game is more simple (arcade-like) than minimalistic.
Anyway, a huge accomplishment for the meager 48 hours we had available! Congratulations! :D
Best score: 5813
