This was important to the gameplay, I wanted the turning to take time so you'll carefully plan your path for minimum turns in order to shoot.\r<br\/>However, it is very unintuitive... I suppose I should have either gone with an astroids-like movement after all, or added some kind of visuals that would explain why the ship is acting that way."},{"author_name":"JoeCool","author_uid":"4216","time":"Dec 21, 2011 @ 11:57pm","epoch":1324511520,"text":"I don't like the controls, sorry, but interesting game. :)"},{"author_name":"mnem","author_uid":"7397","time":"Dec 22, 2011 @ 8:44pm","epoch":1324586340,"text":"Nice game, but too hard for me :)"},{"author_name":"Tritax","author_uid":"5232","time":"Dec 23, 2011 @ 5:09am","epoch":1324616640,"text":"What felt awkward, for me, was that turning while flying did not change your inertia.

I also didn't understand that the feelings to be &quot;shot&quot; could be outside the track.
