I really like the idea of destroying the meteors with fireworks, the only thing I would like is a bit faster firerate, as there are way more fireworks in the sky usually, but the game was fun

As other said, really nice use of the two buttons! I like the art too. Might be cool if the person in the control panel area had some animation to go along with the movement and firing of the canon. Overall really great, and I like the new year theme :)

Now if sending Bruce Willis doesn't work we can use our fireworks stock to destroy the asteroids ! I didn't manage to finish i feel like sometimes it's not possible but i may just be bad. Simple gameplay but cool idea and nice effects. Good job !

Simple and fun, very good implementation of "two buttons"! The balance might need some slight tweaking if you want the player to be able to complete the night, I might just be bad at it but it doesn't seem possible to get every asteroid towards the end just based on the fire rate. That doesn't take too much away from the experience though, it reminded me a bit of Domekeeper!

Good job!  It was simple but cohesive.

Nice visuals on the fireworks. A clever use of only 2 buttons.

I love the juice in this game! The firework particles look great and I love the screen shake when you miss an asteroid :) Nice work!

Nice use of the two button modifier!

It does get a bit hard after a while, seems like there are too many meteors to keep up with. Maybe that's necessary to keep it interesting or maybe I'm just bad!

I also really liked the sound effects, good job on those.

Well done!
