You are always traveling in an arc so intercepts become challenging. The effect for the dash is very cool as well and fits with the aesthetic you've gone for. The music reminds me of the early 1990s DOS games and is very fitting."},{"author_name":"Tijn","author_uid":"49432","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 7:03pm","epoch":1450119480,"text":"A very nice game.

Also I really like the symbols used the enemies.  They do a good job of explaining what the enemies do, but are stylized nicely to look interesting.  The only criticism I had was that it was very difficult to dodge enemy fire when attacking as your range is very small and maneuvering is slow.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My best time just under 2 minutes."},{"author_name":"misteak","author_uid":"31670","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 1:00pm","epoch":1450270500,"text":"I'm a complete disaster at steering, but I had fun hitting those enemies :)"},{"author_name":"Karai17","author_uid":"46460","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 10:06pm","epoch":1450303260,"text":"Interesting concept!

A bit of a learning curve but was finally able to get to 83 seconds. I don't have the patience to come anywhere close to 545.
