So here's my entry, not happy with it in any way really, the original plan was to control the earth and swing the moon around like a flail but a lot of issues came up and this is the result.

Pros:
1. The sprites are okay I guess.
2. You don't have to refresh to play again.

Cons:
1. Literally every other aspect.

Regardless what is there is made from scratch, so I'm still putting it in the 48 hour entries as planned.

i like the idea you had. even if not much is happening the spin mechanic feels like fun :)

Quite fun, can be more challenging with a time based score system and some sounds ^^

haha. Seying the Earth alone in space, I thought "Nice, maybe a strategy game in the solar system or a physic game with gravitation". And the surprisingly simplicity of the gameplay made me laugh. Fun but it lacks some sound and, indeed, highscore.

You have a good idea as a foundation. I recommend more spin on the moon to feel nunchaku-like and a warning indicator where the next asteroid is going to appear.

I think I understand what you were going for and what issues you encountered. I'd be happy to give a bit of insight if you want to revisit your game mechanic later. Twitter: @Limyc_

I like the idea but it definitly needs improvements. Score, some kind of development in the gameplay. Otherwise good job!

I can see the potential for a fun game.
