Constructive Feedback:
Top Indian players have developed several regional strategies:
"Save your Surya Power boosts for the final asteroid belt. Most players waste them early, leaving them vulnerable at the finish line." - Aakash "CosmicRacer" Patel
"When being chased, suddenly change direction near wormholes. The physics disruption throws off pursuers." - Sathya "AstroAce" Rajan
"In multiplayer, aim for players using basic spacecraft. They're usually newcomers and easier to overtake." - Rohan "StarStriker" Banerjee
