Nice game, not the best graphics I've seen and obvious drawback: No audio.

Also: Try to give it some polish next time, instead of using default popups, make a nice looking popup with score etc!

It's quite challenging, especially with the controls being swapped on the bottom, and how all my stray shots would eventually fall back to the planet and kill someone. I'm afraid I didn't make it very far!

Nice start, but needs more depth.

Nice game. It's good to see other HTML5 games.

I'd agree with @cosmologicon- it's hard especially at the beginning when I'm automatically firing a ton of missile s at my own cats.

The asteroids come slowly and lots at once. This is freaky when it starts to happen. Very good mood setting.

One thing that took me a while to realize is that my cat could fly! Imagine trying to play this game not realizing your cat can fly! Although, you can't blame me for not realizing my cat could fly. I have a cat, and if he flies, it's only when I'm not home.

Anyway, this ended up being really fun, but really short lived fun, because it's pretty hard to keep up, and you can only miss as many times as you have kitties in your harem (each miss is almost guaranteed to kill one of your lovely ladies).

A pleasant surprise!

I like the graphics and the little explosion effects. Javascript dialogs look a bit unpolished by comparison.

If this had just a little bit more varied gameplay and sound this might be awesome :)

Pretty cool variation on the planet defense concept. I think I did more damage myself than the asteroids.

That was really clever, difficult, funny, and surprising.

Played this game for an hour. People don't understand your game but I love it. And the art is great.

A good, challenging game.
There seems to be a bug where the cat keeps shooting, after load, if the game ends while you have the space key down and I killed my cats of like that a few times (it might have been me pressing space when the popup loads, not sure). I'm using Chrome if you want to look into it.
Despite my mad rushes to the refresh key, the game was fun to play.

Very cool! The gravity controls got a little confusing sometimes. Trying to hit the asteroid with gravity was really cool! With a little more polish this would make a fully completed game (sound for example)

Yes! This was a great game concept! I loved how your bullets (?) orbited around the planet, and to balance out spamming their orbits decay and end up hitting your own kittens... although I probably ended up killing them more then the asteroids did.

This game needs music and sound effects, and then something else to make it more fun gameplay wise. At the moment it seems a little difficult to hit the asteroids, so maybe if they were bigger, but then there were more of them/they were faster, it would become more fast-paced and arcade like.

Kittens + asteroids + space == awesome game. :D
Has surprising amount of skill involved for such a simple concept, I think it would make a great title if you develop it further.

Cool little game. Loved the animation when the black cat gets hit. Could need some sort of score keeping.

I also feel quite dizzy now after defending kittens for a while. Too many rockets flying around in circles :)
