What a gem! This game is super fun and addicting, I wish the controls were a bit less "floaty" but the floatiness completely fits with the theme, so it's more accurate like this. Great job!

I've never seen this mechanic before! Very creative! :)
If I had to remake it I'd add some tutorial stages before throwing the player into the action, so I can start off the game winning instead of losing :P
How'd you come up with the idea for the laser?
If you like fire you'll love my entry. ;) Check it out! :D

HomebaseThanks! Yeah, I think teaching the player what's going on would be helpful.
I was thinking of making an emotional story-based game where you had to separate your body in half to do tasks, but as I thought about how to do that I decided to go a bit simpler, but keep the idea of splitting yourself in half :)
I'll give your game a try!
This is a really fun mechanic and great use of the theme, nicely done!

Double the Lives, Half the PointsAwesome idea and what you have is done flawlessly. It would have been nice to see some advancement, though. Something like a satellite that launches off your planet and intersects with your ship to give you an upgrade.

Get Some Gasolinenice game! i like the idea of catching asteroids, although it would feel better if there was an option to play with wasd instead of arrow keys.

SHIPARATION It was gratifying to vaporize the asteroids and the sound/art were nice. Protecting the 8 billion people from their inevitable doom is pretty difficult though! A+ little blinking effect for the text too.

BOOTY TOSSThanks, appreciate the kind words! The trick (that I learned over days and days of playing) is to keep laser durability as high as possible by constantly closing up your ship to heal, and keeping the laser itself pretty small unless you need to open it up wide to grab a bunch of asteroids. Easier said than done though!
The graphics and the gameplay are amazing. Overall, I had a great time playing this game and would highly recommend it to others. Nice game!
