Why Play This Game? (My Experience)
I was doing well, weaving between two cops, when a third spawned directly in my path. I slammed the arrow keys, swerving hard to the left. My heart jumped as I heard the screech of a near-miss. The controls felt responsive, letting me make that split-second dodge. That close call was genuinely thrilling, and the relief of surviving another few seconds kept me hitting 'Play Again'.
