Thanks for playing! And for the feedback. I agree on all points.
I think auto aim might ruin the neat drifting you can pull off. If you accelerate one way, then let go of the movement keys, you can turn and aim elsewhere while drifting. This was pretty neat, and it would be a shame to see it replaced! A different method of making aiming easier is decreasing the player's rotation speed, or increasing the size of their bullets. Great work!
