VOID RUNNER

🚀 ASTEROIDS-LIKE — WIP

Fast top-down shooter inspired by **Asteroids**. Art is placeholder; feel/balance are in progress. **Global leaderboard is live** (best score per device). Aim for quick 5–10 min runs and tell me what to tune.

**GLOWING ICE COMETS & ENEMIES DROP UPGRADES SOMETIMES LIKE SHIELDS AND GUNS**

**Now:** momentum flight • lasers • waves • leaderboard  • upgrades

**Next:** enemy variety • Mobile and Controller support

💬 Help Me Tune (pick a few!)

- **Difficulty curve:** too easy early / unfair spikes / right length per wave?

- **Enemy mix & spawn:** more variety, telegraphs, spawn safety radius?

- **Weapon feel:** laser fire rate/damage/impact; hit feedback readable?

- **Movement:** ship inertia/turn rate/afterburner control—snappier or looser?

- **Camera/UI:** best zoom level; any readability clutter?

- **Score loop:** what made you stop—repetition, dead time, no goals?

- **Upgrades/ideas:** shield behavior, temp powerups, hazards, boss moments.

- **Bugs/perf:** FPS dips, collisions, softlocks; your system specs.
