Pretty good for a first timer, although the controls were a bit confusing. I think you should've just had WASD control constant directions of movement instead of having it be relative to the cursor, it felt a bit unnatural.
The game looks pretty good, but it's also very easy once you understand where the enemies spawn and what they do. I feel like there isn't much to do. Just aiming and clicking is not a lot, but it's a 48 compo, so I shouldn't complain. I like it though, I really do. The graphics are very appealing. Also there's a little bug that doesn't let you reset the game.
this is a funny concept, but i don't know how well it really worked. it wasn't all that engaging to me, i guess. the randomly being spawned in a different points took also little while to get used to. i did like the fast paced bullet-hell vibe of it though.
I liked the graphics style! As for the gameplay, it's more complicated :) I liked that it was fast-paced, and it ran smoothly here, but I didn't really know what I was doing at first. There doesn't seem to be a nice progression where you get to discover how the game plays, and I see no way of "getting good at it" unless spraying lasers all over the screen.
Cool, I won a +1 goat icon! I anticipated being an asteroid bouncing around, but instead I'm some sort of laser canon. Definitely cooler! Nice use of effects.
Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement, as well as the critiques. This was a fun experience, and I will definitely come back each time. It was great to figure out again how to script, as well as do every part of building a game. Never really done it before, so this was awesome.
A very nice debut you got here! The controls are slick and it's easy to understand what you're supposed to do. It's a little easy and it would be great with a health bar. Other than that, great job.
Dude get a webhost. It's just silly to have to download a web-based version of a game! If you don't have any other option, you could at least host the files in a folder in your Dropbox public folder. It should work.
Pretty fun. I was able to just stay in one place for a long time. I liked the asteroids, I kept trying to keep the bigger ones alive. Kept me playing for longer.
The controls were beyond confusing, I had no idea where I was or my purpose, and even once I figured out the controls it was difficult to determine exactly how the game worked. Overall very confusing experience.
laser felt nice, control had to take some getting used to. Would've been interesting to see a difficulty curve or something to make it more challenging!
@lucasncv, @birchmountatin, @ceronman - Thank you very much. I was very happy to submit to my first Ludum Dare. Had a great time.
@sclark39 - I know! Haha, i have tried putting it in the dropbox, but it hasn't worked. I am probably doing it wrong. I will keep trying to figure it out, because I agree.
@Bloodyaugust - I am sorry you found it confusing. My bad. Any ideas how to make it more understandable?
@Aeveis - A lot of people have mentioned a difficulty curve or something. I agree, and I think I will add more to it at some point. I am glad the laser worked out.

Overall, a good first entry, welcome to LD :)
