This project was created by the students of YesSchool and it's Mechatroni.ca program - a program for kids focused on teaching Stem subjects including robotics and programming. For GMTK Game Jam, two of our brightest minds, Andrey N, 12, and Alex S, 10, under the supervision of their teacher David have created and submitted this game! The game is created in Scratch, a visual block-based programming language that is perfect for teaching young students the basics of coding, but is versatile enough to allow them to create games such as this one!

mmm... cheezburgar
I have a feeling that this game has a lot of loose blocks, redundant parts and so. I suggest cleaning the blocks up first.
It is brutally hard, but I did manage to find the Earth :) I'm happy that the asteroids don't actually kill you, because the game is already quite hard as it is 😅 and I even found them useful as emergency breaks :) Congrats on your game!
I'm impressed this was done by such young people, but I didn't like that the description calls them "two of our brightest minds". What about the other people who aren't the "brightest"? Comparisons are not cool :/
