I managed to get 20 on my best try.\nIt's really tough getting more than 15, right when you get more than 2 ships to control at the same time, but I loved how quickly you could adjust the route of the ship.\n\nThe only critique I can provide (just a small one), was that I felt it was little unfair when the ship spawned on top, right near the hazard zone. The window for realising that felt a bit too short, or the obstancle could have been a tiny bit away from the edge.\n\nAlso good job on the audio.
