cool, i played a fair bit of scorch

misc feedback

  - dominant strategy seems to be drive to point blank range & fire. needs some playtesting & rework to make it interesting for 2 players.
  - how do you bring up help for a reminder of what the controls are once the game is in progress?
  - the arrow keys for controlling the turret are unintuitive. i'd expect left & right arrows to change the barrel angle, like in the original scorched earth, but here they change the power level
  - the visual trajectory preview doesnt seem useful whenever the moon is involved as by the time you fire, the moon has moved the trajectory is wildly different to whatever the preview showed

one perspective i've heard some game developers talk about when prototyping a new game is focusing on trying to improve the length of time a player can have fun before they get sick of it. is it fun for 5 seconds? what could i do to increase that to make it fun for a whole 30 seconds? for 60 seconds?
