This game is in dire need of upgrades. The badge is almost impossible, not just because of the fast pace, but because orbs spawn so rarely. I can go a full 30 seconds (an eternity in this game's pace) without seeing a single purple orb, and I'm expected to pick up TEN in one go?!

The game would be OK, but the controls are terrible. If you tap, nothing happens, and if you hold, you get thrown waaaaaaaay too far. 2/5.

3/5. It's a cool and fast-paced game, but what I don't like is there's nothing different about the game if you play it multiple times. The layout is the same, the handling is the same, the difficulty is the same. It would be nice if we could change the difficulty, or make handling easier, or have levels, because the only thing I have to look forward to after doing all that are the badges.
However, it still is fun, but because of its stale variety I'm only giving it a 3/5.

In all honesty, I have no idea why the devs uploaded this game in this state. It's a very solid prototype of a game, but it is still a few hours of tweaking away from a finished product. Some better parameters for generation and tighter controls are vital for finishing this game. In addition, EMP mines have NO place in this game. They are cheap and were included to add fake difficulty, as evidenced by how when they start appearing the ground is immediately littered with them. Maybe they'd be dodgeable with decent controls, but that doesn't make them a fair obstacle. Maybe instead, use boost pads as an obstacle that temporarily increase your speed, making dodging harder.

Sorry, but when there's a game with a "take no hits" badge, and there's no R for restart, or even any way to restart short of dying, you blew it. 3/5.

Do restart button button. No way to switch controls to 'a' and 'd'? Sloppy controls? No check points forcing you to restart from most slowest boring part of the game?
Can't bash this game to much as a 2008 game, but the lack of restart is a real head scratcher.

I found that one of the best methods is just to play for long enough where you aren't even really playing much anymore, and you start to sort of zone out naturally...

5 out of 5, only because I'm a sucker for vector graphics!

Laranjashtear, there actually is a meter for the invincible, it appears under you when you get it. its really small, and i got over a dozen invincibility power ups before i realized it was there, but its there.

Eh, it's not really a hard game. It's the lack of decent controls and inability to control the quality that make it so tough. It is by no means fast like the auto-acceleration makes it out to be, you just have controls that delay both before and after you use them, and you have a hit box that is significantly larger than you are. Other than that it's like any other game of its kind out there. Except you can't quick reset. 3/5
