(This may not work for Internet Explorer, but has been tested on both recent versions of Chrome and Firefox and seem to work well!)

You work for NASA and start a mission to discover what the moon is really made of, but run into some issues on the way!

Your rocket (arrow keys) has a primary gun (X) and a "blaster" (Z), the blaster does a lot more damage the more it's charged, use it wisely!

It did have some more music, but Musagi crashed on two different pieces so I left the menu music in there alone. :(

This is my first "real" game I've made, and I'm super happy that I was able to make something to submit! If you dare to delve into my source, please keep in mind that I'm used to languages like Java and C# where some things are dealt with quite differently than Javascript! :)

the moon could have been a bit easier to destroy ;) takes a lot of time!

Could be a cool take on a 'boss fight' game. The moon had too much health for my liking, maybe there's a more interesting way to keep it difficult? Keep it up!

The intro was fantastic. I found it really difficult however to control the ship, I know but its space physics, but I would often find myself going off screen and unable to track my location. Still, I had a lot of fun!

Fun! I like the idea. The controls were really difficult to get the hang of. Since you're always facing the center anyway, it might have felt better if you used left/right to rotate around the moon and up/down to move closer or farther away.

Very fun but gets almost impossible because of the weird controls. I wish I could beat it but after three tries I get destroyed by the third stage. Still, it's a well done game and with some polish it can be very enjoyable!

I really like the idea of stretching out a boss battle into a game. I really wanted to see what the moon was made of! Alas, I couldn't make it past the ice moon.

I had a little difficulty with the controls, particularly bounding off the side of the screen. I found it a little hard to control my speed.

Game with good concept and nice audio. It's fun to play, but a bit hard. Maybe you could improve the controls to make it easier.
