Awesome arcade feel. I like how destroying asteroids expands the room. Gives you an incentive to do it.

May be a little too easy (the arena could shrink faster) but I liked the minimalist visuals render in a tiny windows, it gives a charm to the game.

It's an interesting idea and it works.
I feel like the gameplay is lacking either depth or challenge though. Once you understand the core concept, it becomes quite repetitive pretty fast.
Still, for a game made in 48h it's pretty nice!

Very simplistic and polished, I just wish i could hold to keep shooting for a longer time.

Very cute :) I love the style, the sound effect is a bit jarring I had to play with the game muted and was a bit frustrated that I wasn't getting any feedback from the asteroids to know if I was doing any damage, overall its a cute design, sometimes simple is best

Thanks for the feedback! I wanted to polish the sound effects a little more but i was adding it last minute so i didn’t have time. I may try to release a more polished version of the game in the future

This is a creative take on the theme. I think the style is interesting, but could use some work. Same thing with the gameplay. The game loop is interesting, but a little too easy. Congrats on getting a game submitted!

Thank you! I wanted to do more with the gameplay like making it more like a roguelike by having chest that spawns randomly with items but didn’t have enough time. I’m thinking of making a more polished version after the jam. Thanks for the feedback!

Very underrated! I like the simplistic menu and the overall minimalist art style, only feedback i have is adding cracks to the asteroids so it's clearer when they are about to break
