I've now played the game in more detail, against the cpu-opponent and it's definitely fun. Good work! In my eyes, the computer-opponent could play a bit stronger, because I now regularly beat him, even on the "hard" setting. Maybe in a future v1.1, a “superhard” mode can be added, that would be nice for experienced players.

And a second suggestion. For sure, the most players will use a controller for the game (joystick/gamepad), so it would probably make sense, to leave the setting "joystick" by deafult, in the game-menue for "F7 controls". If anyone wants to play with the keyboard, they can change it there, but as the default-setting, always this should be set in the menue, what the most people will use.

Overall, nice game.

Appreciate the feedback! Good suggestion make joystick controls the default, I'll probably do that for the next release

Nice, that you already changed this in V1.0a, now i hope for a really strong cpu-opponent in v1.1.

And I asked myself, how a play-mode with three lightcycles at the same time could work? Two human players and the cpu-player too, all against each other. Maybe for future versions of the game, this could be a fun? What you think?

I like your suggestion for a higher difficulty too. Will look into it, at some point. If you want more challenge from the game, see if you can find the easter egg! :D

Haven't found the easter egg so far. Can you give a hint? :-)

Try running Sark into the game screen's border, after you've gotten at least one point in a game. Ironically, I find this is easiest on the Hard difficulty.

Will try this out. Thanks for the tip.
