Very cool stuff! I only played solo so I can't judge of the real quality of the multi player game, but I'm sure it can be fun . However, it seems less technical than a normal Tron game, where a skilled player can "fill" the screen by making fast 180 degrees shift. Am I wrong?

As it's not a TRON like game, the last alive is not the winner if he earns less points than the others
You must go trough blue holes to earn points

!! I didn't know that!! More strategy indeed! Well done .

It's too fast and too slow in the same moment.  So I'm still not sure about the suitable soundtrack. Should I take "The Offspring" or better some slow classical stuff?

Merci pour le jeu tres amusant. Maintenant je vais retourner a mon CPC. :-D

multiplayer is quite difficult even that speed. You're right, now the mini-version is released, that will need a music, some funny samples, more presentation and scoring!!!

If you want to do this, I already love the game.

When as you say in the video, because of Covid, you should implement an over-the-net version of the game .

My son wants to report a problem...

[roudoudou]

That's not a bug! But your son has GREAT SKILL 
I'm supposed to add some features (and a Playcity music!), maybe i will forbid this behaviour
Thanks for the report

[villain]

That's not a bug!

But it's a white line crossing a white line?

[roudoudou]

collision is done with pixels, not vectors, so you can cross if you are very lucky

[villain]

Ah, I see. It's a little bit like the french ronds-points.

Well, a line is a snake, not a bug.
