From the developers at Hikware, this game is called Rayhound. It may look strange at first view, but I'll break it down for you. You control your ship with the mouse plain and simple. Your enemies are turrets. The turrets fire pink lasers at you. Sounds simple enough right? Well, not really, you see, you can't shoot directly back at them; instead, you must convert their pink lasers into your blue lasers. There are two ways to do this; 1. By clicking the left mouse button which creates a bubble around your ship. Any pink lasers inside the bubble at the moment of activation will turn blue, and if the button is held down, will start to orbit your ship, following you as you fly around. They are released when the button is let go. The second way is much more risky. You flick your mouse quickly in a direction, and your ship will "boost" in that direction for a short while. Any pink lasers that hit you during this time are immediately converted to blue and ricochet off of you. Boosting is useful for saving a few extra seconds for the next stage, or getting yourself out of pink crossfire. However, there are no lives in Rayhound, instead, there is a timer. You automatically start with 120 seconds. Every time you get hit, -10 seconds from your time. Every time you complete a stage, +40 seconds. Once your timer reaches zero, you explode!

If you've ever played Rayhound before, you've probably wondered what the next ten levels after your current save point will be. I felt the same way, and after finally getting through levels 40-49 and getting to save at 50, I decided to make this video. No one else has ever gotten this far in the game, so enjoy! (Also, I don't get hit during this match, behold! This is also actual game speed, no fast forwarding or slow mo)
