Nice idea. Choud need a mute button for music ans sound becasue the music is not everyone favored music :) otherwhise is laged for me areounf 2/10 sec all 1 Sec what made it a bit hard to steer with wasd. and perhaps the speed of acelerating choud be a bit lower so you choud better control wher you whant the planet to head to.

Thanks for you comment @tusoalsob. I'll include a new button to mute the sounds and check the planet movement.

Hi, not something completely new, but fun nonetheless. However, I found it too difficult. I barely moved from the second stage. Too many asteroids which I should avoid. I don't know if this amount of inertia is intended, but I had difficulty controlling the planet. Dashing helped a bit, but since asteroids emerge randomly, there is no way to know if I'm dashing in the direction of yet another wave of things I should avoid.

In this state, doesn't have much replayability, but games like these are always good candidates for upgrades (which make things easier). So, for example, you could add a screen to choose upgrades after you reach another stage.

It has potential, but must be worked on. :)

For 72 hours, it's nice :)

Nice game! The controls were a little hard, but they also seemed realistic (because of moving a heavy body), so it's probably justified. I was able to win the game and I recall only using the dash feature in the last level. Beautiful art and retro sounds.
