Wholesome art style and good take on the reversed Asteroids game. I specially like how you introduced an economy system in such an arcade game. Good job!

I liked the color contrast as it helps to understand what's going on. Gameplay was fun as well. 

Feel free to hop into my game as well, and share your rating and comments if you have the time!

This game is awesome. For me, it deserved to be in the top 20. Nothing much to say team, really good job!!!

This game is very satisfying to play, I enjoyed it a lot. It is very polished and the mechanics are interesting!

I spent a good 5 minutes just messing with the menu title...

It's really satisfying to play, the game's feel is awesome.

Throwing a bunch of asteroids and causing chaos (and getting more money in return!) was incredibly addictive. The game is really well done!

(If possible, make it run on browser too!)

Adding the leaderboard was a genius move. Made me want to play more, I managed to get 5th on there(if it's actually real and not a scam).

Interesting reverse of the fisrt game in the history :)
Also loved the idea of collecting money by pointer!

Very fun! The presentation is nice and polished. I love how you have to collect money with your mouse, which in turn makes you try to avoid the ship so you don't lose more money, but the money is also floating away. Great design! It gets very hectic near the end where you have a lot of money and the ship is on its last life, very tense. Great job!

Nice game. Good job !

It was fun! I think the ship was a bit too powerful. I think it would be nice if there were levels where the ship got increasingly more powerful and obtained better powerups and stuff.

Great game and amazing arts. I liked your interpretation of the theme. Well done

Very interesting combination of Asteroids and the clicker genre! Definitely gets more chaotic as the game goes on, also like the online leaderboard!

Really impressive and fun game, it was very satisfying and the sounds suited really well too! I think a bit of a tutorial would be really helpful, but regardless you did an excellent job creating this solo in just 48 hours!

Creative idea! Once I understood what I was supposed to do, this game was pretty fun.

The second time I was playing this game (the first time was unfinished), I was pretty bored. However, when it got to the third time, it was more engaging. My game was more optimized, and I played better. This may be a kind of game where the better you play, the more fun it is. Personally, there's a chance I would have preferred it as a game where you move the actual asteroids themselves. Also, it would have been better if the music didn't stop sometimes. Also, maybe I'm wrong, but the ai was so good that he only lost lives with the 450 thing which if true might take away some of the depth of the game since it may boil down to click the other asteroids and then use the 450 thing that actually works. Also, I learned that you could potentially take multiple lives away from the ship which could be useful for getting a better score if I understood more.
