The rotating effects for the planet\/asteroids looked really good and 3-dimensional, and there was a nice variety of powerups to keep things interesting.

Of course, we could have tried balancing the difficulty progression with the permanent powerups, but we just didn't have enough time for that. If we decide to take this game further, however, we'll definitely include some permanent powerups and many more powerups overall!\n\nThanks for the feedback and I'm glad you had fun playing!!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":834237,"author_name":"epb9000","author_uid":"epb9000","epoch":1650384857,"text":"I'm definitely a sucker for space games! Good music and sound design. Earth is doomed if I'm ever at the helm for defending it though apparently as I cannot aim.
