ASTRA

ASTRA is a JavaScript odyssey in 1002 bytes for Assembly 2016

Warning, this is the party designed for 1920x1080. ASTRA was tested in Firefox, Chrome and Opera but Firefox' canvas implementation is starting to lag behind. Prefer to use a Chromium based browser or to watch the video capture this time.
