Thanks so much for the feedback! I'm playtesting with a static camera right now since I read your comment, and I really like the idea. I was trying to make the game look as close to the original retro Asteroids as possible. It makes the game drastically easier when you can see everything on the screen, maybe even too easy. With the size of the map being so huge it looks a lot less pretty to be zoomed out so much you can see it all, but since there have been comments about needing reduced difficulty / balancing, the tradeoff might be worth it. I think I'll add it as something like an "easy mode" after the jam is over.
