The space turns out to be not that empty after all :D I didn't get at first that I can press Space to shoot continuously, I tried to click, so it was quite challenging to destroy targets. But then I got that and it was nice and I managed to get the upgrades. I also liked the soundtrack and can see this idea developed further into a bigger game. All in all, a very solid entry, well done!

It’s very entertaining! The artwork suits it very well. Congratulations, great job!
It took me a second to get used to the controls, but I really enjoyed playing it! And I liked the parallax effect on the background! It would have been nice if there was more than one big enemy ship so there would be a bit more to do.
Really fun game, but it was a little frustrating to aim with WASD and Space. Maybe you could've had it as mouse and click instead?
Also, there were some pretty bad second-long lag spikes in the Web Version when particles would spawn. Not sure if this is an issue in the compiled versions tho, I didn't have time to check ):
Still, it's very good looking, and It's a fun entry! Good job!

Nice asteroid game. I usually died from damage before running out of fuel, if I ever did. Anyway, I spent a solid 15 minutes shooting space enemies. One thing that really stood out to me was the black hole particles. Very well done.
Great fun and space invader like game, I think space stuff is cool (doesn't everyone?)
I love the controls in MOTHERSHIP, so much goofy fun to be had as your face smashes against meteors and enemy vessels before accidentally getting way to close to the black hole and dying a painful death.
