This is my entry for the 2022 PICO-1K Jam.
Your home planet just exploded but your family was lucky enough to get on an escape pod and blast off just in time...but the explosion shockwave is right on your tail! Avoid the oncoming meteors while collecting energy crystals to power your shields and boosters. Be careful! When you slow down the shockwave gets closer.
This is a one-button dodge'em game. Press any button to stop your escape pod so you can avoid meteors and collect energy crystals. But don't wait too long or the shockwave will catch up to you!
How many crystals can you collect?
Catching an orbiting blue crystal will power your shield and let you survive one collision with a meteor.
Scoring is how many crystals you can collect. You get 1 crystal for each orbiting and 2 for each meteor you ram into.

Overall, I was pretty happy with what was able to be crammed into 1K of space. Certainly not on par with some others but for me this was a big step forward. There are even a few sounds! LOL - I was also pretty happy with how it looks considering there are no sprites used, just shapes and fills. Works pretty well on mobile too, FWIW.
It's a good prototype with a solid mechanic, so it might get more development down the road.
