Didn't fit this into the in-game instructions, but you can change the difficulty level at any time from the system menu during the game, in case it's too easy or hard.

I like the initial explanations - about the right length for me. Fun! I did a bit better once I changed to Easy.
man i love this one! feels incredibly polished, and the gameplay is such a great "easy to learn, hard to master" idea. i just hope the scientists up at NASA are any better at diverting asteroids than i am 😅
if i had to gripe about one thing, it's a little tough to see the thin text and some of the smaller asteroids? if i'm distracted by some other stuff i may not even notice a new teensy asteroid coming through on the other side. overall this game feels great! my current high score is 19 ☄️
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I noticed on hardware how the little ones can sneak up on you (spent too much time testing at 2x in the simulator I guess). I want to experiment with making everything just a bit bigger, and/or maybe adding particles / comet-like tails to the asteroids to make them more visible.
I really like this one, and I really suck at it. But it's fun and addictive, and it feels perfectly suited for the Playdate!
The gravitational effect is very difficult to master, but satisfying when I got it. It's like bullfighting with asteroids.
Haha, I love that description! :D
It's so fun!! But... so hard too!! Thank you for making an easy mode :'-D
Terrific fun - extremely addictive and fun use of predictable physic. Spent a good deal of time on this even though I'm.... kinda terrible at it.
Great work!
This low-key might be my favorite PlayJam entry. Redirecting the
meteorsasteroids is so satisfying. And when they loop around back revenge!? ;) Very fun. I love that you included clear instructions and difficulty settings too!Glad you enjoyed it!
This is addicting once you get the hang of it! Though I've yet to get the gold star...
