Edit:
I've published version of the game with arrow keys controls.
Other than that, it's simple and works well. Too bad there's no audio though! Good job anyway :)
Yes please give us some window scaling and also it would feel better if the bomb blew away all of them. There was a situation where on of the asteroids that was left over killed me and afterwards I kept resisting taking too much risk to reach a bomb.
Fun game with good graphics!
It pretty simple, and I love the graphism. Pretty simple and inspired of the old gameboy, reminds me of my childhood :D
I could understand the mechanics so easily but man! That's .. I have no word to describe this.
Just two problem, you should have made a greater screen or making possible to resize it, and I try to press the spacebar on the menu instead or Enter/Return keys.
While it's fun, and the controls are smooth, it sometimes felt to me like the hitbox is too large (which probably means it's actually fair, but a lot of games fudge these things in favour of the player in-order to make it _feel_ fair as well).
The retro-graphics and tiny window make this one stand out a bit (an a good way!), but ultimately, there's not a lot I haven't seen before.
Try adding some sound-effects/music/screenshake, see how it livens up the game! :-) For quick SFX generation (allow during compo as well), you could for example use [this site](https://www.bfxr.net/).
I did almost miss the clever take on the theme (I'm a bit slow today), but luckily I saw a comment pointing it out!
