The pin point design (the ship's hit box is a mere (and precise) 4 pixels by 4 pixels, which constitutes the inner
circular part of the middle of the ship)(the rest of the ship is impervious to enemy fire), the beautiful bright neon graphics, the simple (yet effective) hard rock soundtrack, the excellent control, and the steep, but fair (due to excellent design) challenge all
come together to
form a frantic, intense, and chaotic, yet entirely cohesive experience.
The
circular form provides structural strength in rough weather, natural thermodynamics that negate the need for extra heating, and panoramic views, as well as something less tangible, the open feeling that
comes from being in a space without corners.
