I don't think it could be better if you tried. Fantastic job!

My God
Easily the best game I've played on this website, I couldn't believe how much fun it actually was. Make a mulitplayer game of some sort, please.
Like Asteroids on crack.
I'm thoughroughly impressed by this game. And unlike you, I grew up hating 'Asteroids' and games like it. Obviously, you did something different and I absolutely love it. I suppose part of it is the upgrades, as I'm a defense game junkie, but there's something else I can't put my finger on.
The controls require swift reflexes and I found (and still find) myself dying more than I'd like because of it, but I'd hardly consider it a downside; learning to fly the ship like a "pro" is at least 90% of mastering the game.
It's frustrating at first, but if you like a good challenge and you have a bit of time to kill, I'd suggest giving this game a try. Can't see how it could dissapoint unless you've got a "ferret on meth" attention span.
Great work!
The GREATEST Asteroid shooter of all time!
This is absolutely beautiful to look at it and wildly fun to play! The 35 levels are all really different and challenging. The upgrades are a nice touch that give it -just- enough new school feel to keep it in the 21 century. (there are waaaay too many games like this that don't even have a healthbar)
Awesome game, bad controls.
This was a sweet game! You merged the concept of asteroids and defense games with great results! Good job! =D
There was one thing I that could be improved upon though. It seemed that the controls were hard to handle. The slightest tap of the up arrow button would send my spaceship careening at warp speed toward the other side of the screen. This wouldn't be that bad, but there is no reverse, so often times I found myself just traveling in circles just attempting to stop. I say if you're going to make a sequel, then either put in reverse or reduce the speed of your thrust.
Other than that, awesome job =D
