You are a small spaceship stranded in an asteroid belt. Every 10 seconds more asteroids will appear, and every 50 seconds you gain health. Move with w, a, s, and d, and shoot asteroids with the mouse. You can also toggle music with the 'm' key. Click the green flag in the top left to restart.

This game was pretty fun! The hand drawn artstyle and 'pew' noises gave it a lot of whimsy :)

The difficulty doesn't seem to increase as the game goes on though, it would have been nice if maybe the asteroids sped up over time?

Nice little game ;)
I really liked the pew pew pew !
The only issue I've seen is that tehre is no replay button. Maybe you forgot to add it ?

Good job overall !

OMG a jam game made in scratch ??? I've never seen that before you guys are amazing, that's how you get a 5/5 in Innovation :smile:

I really love how you guys made a game in such a simple framework yet managed to make the gameplay more fun than a lot of other games I played. I'm really impressed, I know the game isn't complicated of visually mind-blowing but I think it has exactly what a good jam game should have, the Fun element!

nice work everyone, trully!

Congratulations for finishing a nice game! Worked like a charm. I love the hand-drawn sprites, the sound effects and the spacey music. The space background is awesome!

I also love the name of your game... :)

Was able to cheese the highscore by staying in the corner *g*

The laser and game over sfx had me laughing from start to finish- with the game being short they never quite overstayed their welcome. Fun and quick destresser of a game!

I loled so much at the PEW sound.

Good idea to record (or get online?) that sound!

Fun little asteroid shooter game!

Nice

what a cute game!! I LOVED the "pew pew pew"!! the controls were really easy to grasp and the speed of the rocket felt appropriate for how quickly the asteroids were moving. i would've loved to have seen maybe the asteroids spinning while they moved, or maybe some kind of effect when they blast apart (i'm a sucker for visuals). i think it would've been great to have a different sound effect for hitting the asteroids vs the asteroids being destroyed as well, that way there's more variety in sound, as well as an aural indicator for when an asteroid is destroyed. otherwise, really adorable game!! the pew pew really sold it, haha!!
