This has the potential to be a very cool rage game! I like how the stranded astronauts force the player to go fast as opposed to using a more slow and cautious playstyle. The graphics are simple yet pleasing while also communicating vital information to the player. The sound effects adds good feedback to the player's input and gives action more depth. The music fits the overall atmosphere and narrative of the game, though it does unfortunately not loop properly. I wish the hitboxes for the astronauts were slightly bigger to make the game less fustrating and that the asteriods weren't randomised to allow for more consistent playthroughs.

Overall, very well done!

Beat it! Nice short game! I enjoyed playing it :D Consider adding some orbital mechanics, easy to implement and is fun to play with ;)

That was hard, but I eventually beat it!!
The controls were extremely sensitive, I needed to barely touch the keys. This reminds me of games I would play on Miniclip back in elementary school. Good job!

PS: Small bug but the music didn't loop after it finish playing. Nothing crazy, just wanted to let you know!

We came close to each other lol, I don't have much for suggestion except that I found the control to be tad bit difficult(ig same can be said our game too though) 👍

Great game. I oversteered quite a bit at first, but managed to complete the game. I like the different types of challenges (saving astronauts and avoiding asteroids). I liked the vibe.

Game crashed a few times, i think it was because i would instinctually hold a before taping w to start moving. Overall it was enjoyable and i could see myself playing this while waiting for uni lectures to start
