The AS was AMAZING...
...but nothing else was, really. Drawing in AS is very cool, I'd love to learn it, but the game needs a better engine, really.

Dont be fooled by the 2.2kb size, this game was coded 100% using ActionScript and the Flash API, which means all the graphics were drawn using lines of actionscript.. The code, written by me, can be found in --The API Thread-- on the BBS.. http://www.newgrounds.co

The controls are pretty basic, Left and Right to turn the ship and Up and Down to change the ships speed..
Limits of the Flash API mean that I cannot add sounds, so please dont ask.. But I think this game is quite enjoyable as it is!

AS is amazing
It always amazes me to see what AS alone can do, but keep in mind that these games are for people who don't know AS or Flash. I think that the gameplay was ok. The somke effects didn't work the way they should've (but that's easy to fix) and that the arrows should correspond to which direction the ship moves, otherwise, it's too confusing.
Overall, it's a really cool game, but very monotonous.
meh...
the graphics arent anything special the style was generic there was no sound no violence really the controls were difficult and it wasnt funny...
pretty mint...
..taking into consideration that this is all written in Actionscript, it is really a damn good game.
About 50% of the people that have written reviews for this, either cant read or are just THICK! -just thought i wud add that...
another great thing about this, is that it is practically OPEN SOURCE if u follow the link on the authers comments..
great work.

What is the objective? There really is no goal to achieve in this movie, I like the concept, but it lacks a lot. Kudos for the awesome file size. There needs to be sound effects. I like you simplistic looking ship and asteroids, the smoke coming out of the ship was pretty neat. Work a little bit more, and you will have a viable game.

when i say its written in actionscript, i mean i drew all the graphics and text using actionscript.. not just the bits that make the ship move etc.. which is why i had to make the graphics simple, its hard to make it look good when u have to specify the coordinates of every vertex.. and there is no sound because u can make sound with actionscript for obvious reasons..
