Yeah, I basically accepted friday that I was gonna focus on gameplay pure and don't bother with graphics, I picked a fun font, I found some free keyboard icons and that was it ^^.
Some friends did around 90 but I'm not sure if it was on their first try, let's say that it's a good score then.
Yeah losing an entire axis is kinda hard, you can recover with a bit of luck by manipulating the ones that run towards you I think (by looping through the arena they are easily manipulable).
Thanks for the kind words !
