How to play
Stay alive to score points. Destroy asteroids to score more points.
Time only moves when you do.
Controls
- Left/Right arrows: rotate
- O button/Up arrow: boost
- X button: shoot
- Down arrow: wait
Tips
- Because your ship's engine is always running, time will still advance when not pressing any button (albeit slowly)
- While bullets don't wrap around the screen, it is possible to shoot yourself if you're not careful
- You can use your cannon's recoil to get yourself out of tight situations
- You can make time go normally without inputting any commands by pressing the down button
About
This game is the first I made with Marave Goyave, a game collective comprised of @Scotaire, @PBES-studio and me, during a private game jam. It was made in 48-ish hours around the theme retro arcade game with a twist.
Thanks to my friends for playtesting this game ❤️

ghettobastler, btw whats ur best?
Thank you so much for your comment! I’ve been working on a post-jam version of this game for the past few days, so I’ve tweaked the difficult so many times I don’t think it’s fair to compare scores with the ones from this version. That being said, my current best right now is 7552.
