This was my first game since I made Qwerty, back in the day...

The bar on the side of the ship indicates how long you must wait until you can shoot again. It's a bit hard to keep an eye on in the midst of the action, but it's a nice touch (and you can't complain I didn't give you a useful GUI). Also, your ship recoils when it shoots. (I love tiny unnoticeable graphical touches =P)

Music is from http://technomidi.com (To be precise, this song: http://technomidi.com/mach/download.php?file=100&sid=c4a38e8d72b6d6e2755064283c393e2a )

My high score is around 1 minute 37 seconds, but if anyone beats the two minute mark, I'll be surprised (the hour section is just a joke =P. Hopefully nobody will actually pass the hour mark...). Post your high scores in a comment if you want.

Anyways, smaller rocks are faster. Watch out for the killer orange.
Remember to hold your fire. The emphasis is on dodging, so destroying asteroids should be a last resort. Especially seeing as you can't rapid fire >=D.

Rocket Command by Badwolf is built around a pretty simple premise: move your ship up and down, avoid the asteroids, and click your mouse to fire a rechargeable laser. Upon closer inspection, however, Rocket Command is actually quite addicting and will probably have you wasting more time than you realize trying to dodge the evil red asteroids of destruction.

(It's not an addiction guys, I can quit anytime I want. Really.)
