This is a rather interesting game. Its almost like a mix of Asteroids, Snake, And another flash game that I used to play called "Disputed Galaxy" (RIP Disputed Galaxy.) . The gameplay seems sound enough, But the lack of sound does affect the overall feel of the game, And the lacking of sounds bumps me out of the game. Another thing is controlls. While there isn't anything wrong with them in terms of controlling the ship... The problem I have is the following rocks/ore which confuse me as they're looping all over the screen. By the time I reach 15 rocks/ores, I have no idea where my ship is. This game has a lot of good potential, And I'd hate for it to be overlooked or shot down by hardasses who have higher expectations from people then is reasonable to assume. Keep on at it, And I'm sure you'll make something epic.

My first work in Adobe Flash.
You are a pilot of space mining ship. Your goal is to collect fresh soft asteroids, avoid hard ones and do it better than AI, that I wrote. Your ship is equipped with laser gun. So you can blast rocks on your way or hit your opponent's ship to steal his asteroids.
Controls: Up - throttle, Left/Right - rotation, Space - fire
sound would be nice
Is Too Hard to Control
Interesting idea. I suggest you can stop the ship somehow. The acceleration is not powerful enough to change the direction in time.
Well, it's space simulator. You can't immediately stop ship in vacuum. To do so you need to turn ship on 180 degrees and hit throttle. And if you want to change direction faster, you just need to keep your speed lower. You can also look at computer player, he has the same controls and manages with the task quiet well, I think.
Thanks for the comment and have fun.
