Sorry, after playing the game (in various states) for three days, I might've underestimated the difficulty.
A few tips:
- Turn the difficulty way down.
- Try to draw shorter arcs, which expose you for a shorter time.
- Distract enemies. Draw a short arc on the opposite side of the screen, to bait them there.
- Try to build two pincers which enclose a larger area.
- Really stay away from the star. It will fry you instantly.
- For the gamejam, as a bu- feature, if you do a New Game without reloading the page, you restart with your previously captured territory.
