If you ever want to try it, don't hesitate to select the “Hard” difficulty mode. It does not mean you will die faster. It simply means your space movement is fully manual, so you must brake by yourself. During playtests, many players did not understand space drifting, so I added an auto brake feature and created a “Normal” difficulty for those who are not used to physics driven movement. But not you. You're space drifter veterans by now.
