That is one terrifying way to end the game. I panicked for a sec. Have to say it was quite a unique game and I enjoyed it. I did notice that meteors speed was tied to player's speed. It made it easy to dodge but felt artificial in a way.
they are not tied, when you stop you can better visualise the direction the meteorites. When moving you are moving relative to the meteorites on a circular path making it harder to understand their direction. They are going in a straight path.
