good game with great potential. difficulty curve is a bit high. too hard once many enemies spawn. can't find a way to outrun/avoid them despite the tool tip advice.

Thanks for the feedback! I will take it into account.

It can get very hard when you are outnumbered, I agree. 

Most early game enemies can be escaped by just boosting in a certain direction for a while. Later game enemies require some dodging through asteroid fields (and also I coded it so that they gradually slow down a bit the longer they are alive).
