Firstly, thank you so much for playing my game and taking time to comment on it 😄😄. The reason i made it so that u required to click the mouse button and hit spacebar is so that the gameplay becomes "chaotic" and the user is forced to feel the pressure. And as for why the difficulty level is so high, i decided it should be so as thats what brings in the element of chaos as the player is constantly on his toes trying to destroy the asteroids. I agree that the difficulty isnt that good gameplay wise but i think its apt for this specific jam and for this specific theme.
