You got 10 seconds to save the stars, destroying Asteroids, UFO's and Black Holes, just by touching them!
Note: I had to change the package name for the google play version, so there are two branches on the github source, both have the same code, but different packages names.
Thanks and Sorry for the inconvenience

Really cool idea, it's a perfect mobile game. I had a lot of fun playing this.
I saved 19 stars!
I didn't play on a phone but I can see it being some decent light entertainment. Nice work!
Good for a quick pick-me-up game. I'm sure it would have been even better on my phone.
Not very touchpad friendly. But i guess it would work a lot better on a touchscreen device :)
Pretty sweet, I like it!
although my finger started cramping a little from all the clicking
Played it on my HTC One. Really cool! I'll drop a rating on Google Play.
Thanks for your comments, I'm glad you like it! This is my first ludum dare and I love the idea of getting feedback!!
I cant believe how many times I clicked the stars accidentally. Somehow this game was just overwhelming it(in a good way!). I had quite a bit of fun though!
I had fun :) tricky on a laptop with touchpad but I bet its better on mobile :)
Saved 31 stars! Nice little game :) Quite simple, and challenging at the same thing. I liked it!
Pretty interesting entry. It was difficult to make sure you were only clicking on the bad icons. Maybe varying the speed that good or bad elements moved would create an easily identifiable connection. I hope you submit another game in the next competition!
@thegrimace I wanted to make more identifiable the "bad" and the "good" but didn't really think of a way of doing it (had not enough time), I believe that the speed should stay like that so that it's more difficult to touch the bad ones, thanks for the feedback! and sure I'll submit another game in the next competition, I hope you rate it and give feedback again! :)
Nice little game. I started to get really good and then the game crashed on me and reset my phone, haha. I'll play again later to see how well I can do. :)
Thanks! could you tell me (if you get to play it again ;) ) if the game crashes again, maybe try to pay attention when it happens, it's a really small game and simple, I find it hard that it gets to reset your phone :P
The music is too short, so it's repetitive after a while. Also some explosion/fade away/... animation would be great for destroyed objects. Good job otherwise ;)
I really like the graphics. And the music is close to being good, but is a bit too repetative. Although I still think it adds the atmosphere. A simple game, it's not gonna win any points for originality for it's gameplay but it was fun.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Pretty cool game. It's a very straightforward game, but it's well executed and the difficulty ramps up quickly enough so that the game doesn't drag for too long.
