PHASER DEVS UNITE! I am so happy to see people still using Phaser.

Good feedback moment where the radar goes off and sooo many beeps from the asteroids flooded my ears. I really like the concept and visuals were cool. I was a bit confused which direction the asteroids were moving. And I think it would be very beneficial if the end week button was MUCH BIGGER than the other buttons or at least be assigned to a hot key as that is the button the user presses the most. Good job!

super crisp! very nice work on the art and sound!
The capture button was not working (I think), but I think I see the potential.

I love some good space exploration, and this has all the key components, good work!

Thank you! Maybe you where not close enough to an asteroid (the inner ring shows your capturing range) or your cargo was full (see bottom right). It should work otherwise.

The gameplay is simple yet fun! I really like the visuals of the game, it reminds me an old game I used to play XD Some of the text on the screen was a little overwhelming but overall, this game is great! Nice work! :D

It was a little difficult for me to figure out the rules of the game at first even with the help of the tutorial, but I stuck to it and figured it all out eventually. I LOVE the limited palette aesthetic of this game and it all looks so clean and well put together, very nicely done. The minimalist sound and music design also really fit, and the dystopian 'debt payment' deep future theme is so cool. Really fantastic job!

Thank you for your feedback! I know it's tricky to understand, the tutorial could have used some more work. I'm glad you could figure it out!
