Even though I liked the game, The hit boxes need work.
Reviews for "Beyond Lightspeed"
You do know you can't go faster than the speed of light... right?

Errrr... pardon me, my science/scifi knowledge is a bit poor and I can't fork out the time to read wikipedia pages in detail. And I'm not sure of the answer. Physically should be a no, but scifi-wise, I'm not sure. It's just used as a theme for the game. I'm the type of person that sees "No's" as "Not yets". Hyperspace, hyperjump... do those count? :-)
Not bad fun but easy only problem is that sometimes I got hit when I'm pretty sure that it missed me.

Ya, one probable reason is because when everything is too fast optical illusions are created... In future I will work on trying to reduce such instances.
A cockpit view would help in some ways but hinder in others, as you would not be able to see outside your limited view.
I recommend making the ship partially transparent when exceeding the speed of light. I also recommend mouse control capability for longer survival and faster speeds. Currently it is very difficult to reach twice the speed of light or even maintain light-speed.
Nice game, controls work well, but I do wish there was an option to invert controls. I think that'd make it heck-a-lot easier (for me at least)! But other than that, it's great.

Invert controls... good idea. In my next 3D flight games, I will try to include it and see how it goes. Thanks for the suggestion!
