Nice aesthetic! :D And very cool gameplay! It's a very interesting concept! :D
Is that ship a low poly Star Trek model? :D

Ha! Almost! I think my main inspirations were the ship combat scenes from Star Trek, Wars and Enders game.

I needed a ship design which could clearly communicate that one engine was damaged, so I ended up steering towards the Trek-style ship as the engines are nicely visible!

Also, I apologize for the splurge of image effects. I had to make the most of my Unity Pro trial!

Though lacking sounds and music, really enjoyed this one, very nicely made!

Gameplay is fun but not really hard to complete.. more variation + more stuff to dodge at the end would have been better.. last message.. haha.. I didnt know we had to save the human race.. I thought it was just a exploration journey to Mars :P

Of course I'm just dreaming but it would be supreme to play this in 3D so the rocks come off the screen, nice game.

Very nicely implemented, felt quite tense. I few filler sounds (or some ambience) would've made a big difference. Graphically beautiful though. Well done. :)

Nice mechanic for one button. Game was a little easy I spent most of my time just sitting in the center square not moving.

Unfortunately the lack of sound really destroys the whole feel of a game like this, I didn't really have a sensation of speed :/. Visually I liked it very much though!

Good mechanic, and controls worked well. Could have used additional gameplay elements considering the length.

Very interesting control scheme! Really wish you had gotten some sound fx and music in because I really enjoyed playing but it was definitely missing something without sound. Nice job!

Great control mechanism! I also like the graphics. But the game is too easy at the moment. Some variation and multiple shorter levels would be nice, I think. And of course the missing audio :)

Wow, that was pretty awesome. The grid indicating where the asteroid would pass through helped lot! Cool graphics, I loved the ship and the bg!
And in the end...I died D: xD
Was short, but good!
