Awesome graphics! Have to be honest though I glitched through a wall or two

Very nice game! Great assets and fun mechanics! Only a bit too hard for me :sweat_smile: Also I don't see the point of having a laser, as it didn't seem to destroy anything, though it was cool to pass over them while speed boosting :laughing: The lack of sound is also truly sad :cry:

Cheers!

Thanks! Yeah, I didn't make the laser very necessary. You can destroy the red turrets with them, but I didn't make the turrets that hard. If I hooked up the score I would definitely give you points for destroying more stuff!

Nice game! I liked the visuals and the gameplay. it was fun to discover that the lights give you some sort of speed boost, because first I though "cool!" and then I though "oh shit now it's even harder". Not sure what the shooting did but it was implemented in an interesting manner, I could certainly envision some interesting gameplay with that mechanic. After the first segment it got really hard though. But kudos! It plays very well for such a classic game.

Really great looking game, would be good to have an inverted flight controls option.
