SpaceCat! Retro-style Web Applet

Retro-style Web Game
Playing with the some of the silly ideas and content seen during the days of the early web. Original graphics are not by me, but they have been modified in Photoshop and Illustrator (the teapots). The graphics are set inside of an SVG element, and responds to the form below.
As a user inputs an integer, the cat fires lasers. If you hit a teapot, the graphic changes, a message also appears and updates in an HTML element to the right of the graphics.

The game pretends that the goal is to destroy the teapots, as in many retro games, random things were intended to be destroyed for points or in search for in-game currency or items. Instead, once you've hit your first teapot, the text in game changes to show the real intent of the game- making tea.
When you hit a teapot the graphic changes, a teapot that was hit a while ago has a different graphic. If you take too long to hit them, it returns back to the original sprite, signifying that teapot has cooled and is no longer hot. The aim is to heat up all the teapots before any cool off.
