Super fun. Even though it's so simple. I would've loved to see more things come into play over time, and also I would've developed a system so that the things are constantly coming, but not all at once, ya know what I'm sayin'?

The multitask mechanics were well balanced, just the right amount of stuff to do to feel frantic but not so much as to feel impossible. Graphics were solid. Destroying asteroids felt super satisfying for some reason.\n\nAreas for improvement:\n\nAs some other people have said, some kind of difficulty leveling might be nice-- that way you can also make it harder as you go as well as consistent. The \"calm\" button appearing on any screen was a cool idea but I feel like it should be explained better, maybe with the tutorial forcing you to switch screens in order to reach it.\n\nOverall:\n\nLiked it a lot! Simple but well executed and very fun game!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ilikescifi","author_uid":"1022299","time":"2020-04-29T10:13:39Z","epoch":1588155219,"modified":1588155219,"text":"Its very very simple but most fun!
