Nice. This makes me want to play a number of games as the bad guy.

jmspring•29m ago

Nicely done. Took a minute to figure out.

Fun twist on the game!

I didn't play for too long, but I just clicked between the ship and asteroids and near-instantly destroyed it, quickly passing the waves I played.

Is there difficulty ramp later on?

baruz•14m ago

The number of ships increases, and then the speed, and then the accuracy with which they fire. The gravity generator seems slower to recharge, and the asteroids are slower to generate, or that may be subjective.

baruz•8m ago

Around wave ten, I think the ships can teleport.

Brian_K_White•10m ago

yes
