How does your game fit the theme?
Reversal of the classic Asteroid game. Instead of controlling a space ship, shooting and dodging asteroids, you control the asteroids. To an extent.

Reverse asteroids!!! Very nice - very good work

I really like this concept!! Actual asteroid manipulation was kind of finnicky at first with projectile momentum and I didnt really like the cooldown on the telekinesis skill in the first couple levels. Theres so much potential for expansion on this idea though!

VERY fun! Not gonna struggle through the second level for now but this is thematically among the top role reversals I've played so far, because it's got a mechanic worthy of an enormous perspective change.

Solid interpretation of how one might "reverse" an Asteroids-type game! I appreciated the little nuances to the physics, like how telekinesis shoots smaller rocks at a much greater speed.

Super nice!
A great take on the theme, very creative with all the abilities!
getting these ships is pretty damn satisfying ^^

It's fun, I eventually win, but the second level was hard
The vortex mechanic is so cool

We're glad 😊

You can try stacking a bunch of winds in the same direction to send a fast "meteor shower"
