A space shooter that gets more UNSTABLE as you play! Effects are random so every round is different.

I had fun trying something a little different, using vector graphics this time. As usual I would have liked to add more if I had more time...

The html5 version, while convenient, runs slowly! Probably because I'm drawing everything in a custom, probably inefficient way...I've included a download for the .exe if you would like a better experience.

Thanks to @cakeknuckles for the music.

Gives off old-school vibes! Simple but nice visuals. I think that you could probably add more enemies to shoot, which would really help to make the sector feel "unstable". I like the music!

The various effects were fun to discover! Made it to about 400.

Nice visual. Random events make each round a different experience.Simple but playable game.

I played the web version. I had to give up at a score of 2000 because it got too slow.

It could definitely be better than the original asteroids game.

A boss level would be awesome too (maybe I just didn't get far enough).

Good game, really liked the simple graphics and the audio. Liked the concept of constantly changing environment, it feels very dynamic and unstable.
