Defend your planet (4K)

[CaptainJester]

Another game I am working on for the 4K.

Pretty simple so far.  Use the mouse to rotate your shield around the planet to protect it from incoming asteroids.  Each hit that the shield takes reduces its size a little bit.  If an asteroid makes it to the planet the shield reduces by a larger amount.  Your shield will never go below a certain minimum size.  It also regenerates continually, so it will eventually get back up to size if it has a long enough rest.  I will also go back to maximum size between levels.

I am thinking of adding a laser type canon and a bonus level that occurs every 5 levels to add a bit of variety.  I have about 1500 bytes left, so I should be able to fit that in.

All comments are welcome.

Thanks.

I managed to pause it (P, I think) and I can't unpause it! I've tried P, U, Esc, then every letter in the alphabet.

There must be a bug, because there is no pause key.

Ok, I've experimented and I can reproduce it by pressing Esc. No stack trace is produced, so it seems to be returning from the main loop rather than throwing an exception.
