#72Half the battle is coming to terms with the controls.
If you wanted to make it easier to use (i.e. if it's not part of the charm that it's hard to control, like QWOP), you could go with "click and hold where you want to turn towards".
(One of the nice things about turn-towards-click is that it's very resilient against lag. If the command occurs a bit late, you turn a bit more; compensating automatically.)

Ah, they finally renamed the not so roll-off-your-tonguey "Auchtung die kurve".

#75This game is amazing. Having a lot of fun with it. It's damn hard!

#76Fantastic, brought up memories of hours of Armagetron.
I came here to mention Armagetron, too. No other game stole my time quite like Armagetron did. If you many people out there want something new to try, give Armagetron a chance, you won't regret it!
Every time I am reminded of Armagetron I hear that low buzz sound of the lightcycles in my head. Right back in the saddle. Capture the flag Armagetron is awesome, going to have to reinstall it now!

I don't like this assumption of copying. I've been writing multiplayer tron-like games as a "hello-world" style programming exercise for 20 years now and have done numerous variations including curves, and wiimotes and the like. I don't think there's sufficient novel content in curvefever (well executed as it is) to really be accusing anyone of shamelessly copying it.

#78If you put your color as something invalid, you appear as random colors from other players on your screen
but to other players you're almost invisible black.

#80Earlier quoted context omitted.
It might be interesting if choosing a "background" color was legal, but caused random unexpected penalties.
Just keep the background black and prevent from choosing too dark colors.
It's as hard for the person with the dark colour as it is for everyone else. Most people are reasonable if you ask them to change their colour, too.
Otherwise you can kick them between rounds.
