WEAPONS

When you collect a supply box, you'll be presented with 3 randomly chosen weapons. Once you select one, it will be added to your active weapons. If you select a weapon you already own, it will level up.

Pistol: Quick shots that deal moderate damage. Levelling up increases damage. A basic weapon that can take out asteroids in one hit on later levels.
Spread:  Projectiles are fired at an angle. The amount of projectiles and the spread pattern expand with level ups. 
Bubbler:  These small projectiles don't do much damage at first, but if you manage to level this weapon up, it becomes extremely powerful. 
Anchor:  Circles around you, dealing contact damage to anything it touches. Moving up or down changes the rotating direction. Levelling up increases the amount of anchors around you.
Proximity Mine: Fires a stationary mine that explodes on contact. The range of the mine and the area of the explosion are increased when levelling up this weapon.
Missile:  Flies forward in a controlled random direction, and explodes on contact. Levelling up increases the amount of missiles fired, but also increases the range of the random trajectory.
Wave Claw:  An oscillating phantom claw projectile that phases through solid objects, dealing constant damage. The size of the projectile increases on each level up.

Nice game, I really liked the gameplay and the idea of collecting stars increasing your score multiplier. The art and music were great too. Sometimes the sound effects did get a bit jarring later on with all of the projectiles hitting asteroids, but you can't really do much about that since chiptune sound effects will always be like that. Overall really nice game, good job!
