I think the online version is being slowed down by all the rotations, which are slow in Java. A workaround would be to make some of the object tumble by sequencing through a series of costumes rather than by rotating. (But before you do that, try taking out some of the rotations to see if that really does make it faster in the Java player.)
It's a nice and challenging game. But sometimes asteroids appear out of thin air. When that happens right next to the ship, you're doomed. It might be more fair to create new asteroids only along the edges of the screen.
Arrow keys ARE the right idea -- the whole thing just seems really sluggish online -- try downloading and running it from within Scratch locally...Maybe someone can help us figure out how to make it snappier in java?
Woah this looks really awesome. The sounds and graphics are amazing. I am unable to maneuver the ship. Can you give me a tip? I tried using the arrow keys and I couldn't see anything happening.

I got 1! it is a difficult but interesting game I might try out what you guys used for gravity
This looks very professional but I also don't understand how to play it, they arrow keys don't seem to move anything. I really want to play this game!

Hi, this is E. Avary from the credits. It might just be your computer, I have a Mac. and it works fine.
