Cool Game! I would suggest the beginning to be as difficult as the game is at about the 45 second mark. Well done!

Really fun, it was charming and I really liked the graphics and animations. While it was simple everything fit the style and was good. Suggestion would be to add music or sound effects but I understand you might not have time with the time limit. It got really difficult, but I like difficult games so it was fun. Overall I really enjoyed it.

Difficulty escalates very slowly so it becomes kind of tideous, keep it up tho :3

Definitely a cool game! The only downside is that the game gets pretty repetitive at around the 40-50 second mark. With some music/better graphics, the game would be improved a lot.

Fun! Reminds me of another game I saw a while ago, just more fun. And it looks better.

This is actually a really fun game. The simplicity is great, also very challenging!

Starts off a bit slow, but really fun! I kind of wish the slider worked a bit faster too so you could like WOOSH WOOOSH all over the place, and over shoot asteroid. Great work!

I would have liked a bit faster pace, but this is an ejoyable concept.

On the 65+ second it becomes hard to move with a non-flexible shield like it is now. Maybe increase the speed a bit? Or make the difficulty curve a bit more smooth.

Simple and well done. Some small variation of the gameplay would be nice.

More animation would have been great, but good job there

A rather simple game, although the startup is a tad slow.

After slow start, it got hard pretty fast :) Nice little game, as others mentioned I'd work on that difficulty progression.

I love the game, although I would start it off WAY harder, it also seems to become impossible as it gets further off, but seeing as you made this in 24 hours, Great job!

Hahahah was really funny! I could get 92 seconds!! Nice idea with the two button controls theme.

It becomes kinda repetitive after a while, having new challenges instead of more of the same would be good. Keep it up!

Starts out way too slow, and this has been seen many times before. Still, nicely done considering you made it in 24hs!

The difficulty curve / controls need a bit of balancing. At the beginning there aren't enough meteors to stay engaged and at the end there are too many to defend against. If the deflector increased in speed with the meteors, that would have made this more interesting to me.

Conceptually it's a nice job though. I like the clockwise / anticlockwise control scheme.

Not bad. Slightly boring, and not much replay value. I would like to have seen only one rotation direction and the other button used for some other function, but all in all, nice!
