It's a shame because I think the gameplay loop is pretty good.

Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
It works well enough for a Steam Deck game, especially since the "pause" state of sleeping the deck circumvents the saving issue, but controls take a little tweaking and *some* asteroid types drop to ~20 fps - most run well enough.
