Interesting concept, with a cool visual style.
Not sure I am very good at it mind (best I could manage was 178).
Nice one! 👍

This is cool, I like the concept and the visuals. "Desperately" is right though! Feels a little too desperate! Got a high of 210 but felt like I had no chance to survive (make your time). Maybe there's a strategy that I couldn't find.  It would be nice if I was constrained to the visible play area and maybe a bit bigger, I feel like I lose quickly even with perfect play.

thanks for giving it a try!!
haha yeah at some point it becomes impossible 
didn't polish the gameplay too much :P

there are minor strats, like going diagonally is faster or drawing near the middle since the 'sweeping' cone is smaller

I didn't mean to be over critical, I really like it, I just wish I was better :P
