the new high score is almost certainly a cheat. supreets51 never appeared on the top 25 before posting that score. To give an idea of how unlikely that is: in my records I have only 4 scores greater than 95, but 4009 scores greater than 58, the lowest score on the top 25. The game speeds up every point, indefinitely. It starts with the Unity clock set at 1, and adds 0.01 per point. If supreets51 can post a video of a score > 75 I'll take it back ;)

This would be even more awesome with a 2- and 3-player version, which would allow the drones to be controlled by one's friends.

This game gets faster every 10 points. Starting at 30, point-cubes start spawning on the edge rows which further increases the difficulty. By the mid 50s you have to be in constant reaction without ever even a fraction of a second pause. The best way of measuring your skill and tracking progress in this game is not by your highest score, which is subject to quite high variance, but by your probability of getting one more point. I disagree with the advice to take your time. You cannot get on the first page of high scores without getting to a game speed that is constant reaction mode, so you might as well have all your game time be practicing that. Although it's trivial to learn to make the orange cubes orbit you at the beginning speed, it is a pointless skill that won't help you at all in the 40s & 50s, and won't help you get the edge blocks starting at 30 either, although it is still useful in the 20s to slow the orange blocks down long enough to get a mental break.

for those interested in knowing how much work it is to get to the top 10, my statistics show that from score 0-10 my probability of getting one more point is 99.8%, but from score 50-60 my probability of getting one more point is just under 50%. 250 times harder. This means that although I get at least 10 on 98% of games, I get to 50 on less than 9%. Of course, 60+ is much faster. I just don't have enough games >60 to have a significant statistic. I've only had 6 games > 60, out of 112 games > 50 since I started tracking scores.

This game is wonderfully great, but in all honesty - I wouldn't mind a four body problem :) maybe just an extra setting. It's so challenging but a little samey

Man, I found myself annoyingly refused to move th direction that I wanted to move in for some reason. Why does the game do this?

excellent, re: joystick... yeah with unity on mac, the axis inputs are sometimes mapped strange, but since you just have two inputs you might be able to just grab all of the axis? I haven't had too much difficulty with it.

its like ou have to juke to get by cause if you just simply move one direction they shoot u like an arrow. going back a bit and then shooting forward always works :D

You want to get a good score? Be patient and instead of trying to make the score blocks your priority, make survival the priority and pounce on opportunities to get the score blocks

Use (what I like to call) the Chinese Finger Trap Method:
Don't hastily go for the blocks to rack up your score. Doing this will cause the "oranges" to rush you, bounce of the wall, and get faster making it difficult to avoid them.
Keep the oranges close to you (whilst still avoiding them at the same effort), but don't allow them to stray too far, and don't run away from them allowing them to rush after you even faster. This way you can play cat and mouse with them while slowly (but steadily) increasing your score for as long as your dodging abilities last.
