Great job. I also had the idea to do a tempest-style game but I wasn't confident I could make a round version within the character limit so I went for a square. I like your circle more. 👍

Thanks, and getting anything working to fit into the character limits is hard! You might be interested-- I revised it and was able to pack smoother motion and a bit more gameplay (multiple enemies) into 560 characters, though I had to remove sound and a few other details.
