Turning with left\/right can be hard sometimes, especially when it got fast. I do like the Tron mechanic though. Might be interesting if you had to wait for the path to fall in order to cross it (might be hard to time this though)."},{"author_name":"mukult","author_uid":"65633","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 12:49am","epoch":1450140240,"text":"Nice concept! :)"},{"author_name":"The Pelranthean","author_uid":"41785","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 12:50am","epoch":1450140300,"text":"Hard to control.
