Use of the limitation
The player is tasked with defending a sun from attack. The player's ship gets powered up and they gain new abilities as the sun takes damage (when they fail to stop enemies).

This was really neat! Clean gameplay loop that escalates well, I found the ship pretty difficult to control but I'm also not particularly good at Asteroid. I really like the mechanical difference with enemy variety; and the sun bestowing different abilities based on how much it's been hit is a really good use of the limitation!
Love the design! The controls were a little difficult but it added more to the gameplay!
Very difficult game to control the ship! But I assume that was part of the game itself! Felt a bit empty without sound or music, but you did well at making a complete product that looked good and had fun gameplay. Well done :)
cool concept and use of limitation! a very fun game, very interesting to see someone use pico-8 for a game
