Cute game. It's quite entertaining to watch turrets destroying the asteroids. Good job.

Good proof of concept, but unfortunately gameplay stagnates quite quickly. Different turrets or asteroid types (maybe even aliens or something similar) to shoot at would have helped add some more depth to the game.

Feels quite satisfying to see my turrets destroy asteroids. It's fun and the upgrading also adds a bit of possible depth to the choices you can make.

As for the art, I would recommend using a constant pixel size for pixel art. So that every single pixel in your assets is always the same size (Right now the pixels in earth are a lot bigger than the pixels in the turrets). Just something to keep in mind to make your game look even better.

Fun game. At first it seems very simple but the upgrade system adds some depth to it. I found one issue though - if you have turrets underneath the upgrade button you cannot upgrade other turrets because the one below it automatically selected.

Nice take on Missile-Command-type game. Seeing those rocks blasted from the sky was very satisfying. It's a simple idea, but one that works really well and can be easily expanded upon, with more turret types, upgrades and perhaps special asteroid threats. Well done!

Nice game. Just wish there was more of it! The sound effects were great and really juicy. I did think that the asteroids should have reacted more when being hit. Like slitting apart or even simply just shrinking in size. But overall fun game!

As others have said, it is quite satisfying to see the turrets tear through asteroids, but I feel like it gets a bit spammy with how much money you get and how many turrets you need. Also it would be nice if it was easier to upgrade turrets, as it can be difficult to select them and hit the upgrade button fast enough to keep up with the cash flow. Also it seems like the place sound effect has a nasty peak at the end of it, which can be quite grating on the ears.

My score: 57855. That was fun! I would have liked slightly cleaner turret placement - often I felt like I should be able to place it, and I had to hunt around to find a spot between turrets to get it there.

I liked the game the most near the beginning, while I was waiting for a little more money to place a turret in the perfect spot, got a little crazy later on ^_^.

Nice and fun! I do not know why, but bigger turrets did not work for me at all (they did not shoot). I got 41375 points. Nice job with the game!
