I really love the presentation as reversed arcade!! And the mechanics are also so clean.... nice!

Good game! The presentation is really clever, I love how everything's backwards like you're inside the machine. The asteroids being outside is fun for strategy I think, what with trying to guide the player into a corner. Good job!

Great work! Loved the inverted UI and the simplicity of the game!

The idea and presentation were really interesting. I loved the way all the UI is inverted.

Very interesting and very well made game!

Very cool to see another take on asteroids. I liked this one a lot! The inverted text is a really nice touch, and everything else shows a lot of care for the visuals. Well balanced too with limiting the super close throws, just overall a very well-made game :)

There are a lot of really nice touches is this game. The backwards text, the player's silhouette... It shows the thought that you put into this. The AI isn't bad, either.

If anything, the sound queue for when the next asteroid is available to throw was a bit quiet, but that no doubt would've been fixed with more time to playtest.

The inverted text is such a cool touch. This is probably my favorite execution of the theme. Fun to play too.

and creative twist! I really loved playing this game :)

Very clever concept, and relatively accurate to the original too.

Charming game and a novel concept. That moment when I realized why the text was all backwards left me in awe at how clever this game is.

Very polish, clever, and fun.  Not a whole lot to it, but what there is feels great.

Thank you! There are more things that could be added to it in the future like the saucers.
