The bottom followed by a right jink worked best. The 2 o clock is more interesting but only got me 4 seconds once. I think it's cuz it's easier for our brains to recognize straight down than slightly to the right Yeah he’s right, you can go infinitely if you hit one of the windows JUST right.

Not that many places that would save you from a raptor right on you're tail...plus you should take into account the fact that they can jump and catch you before you got to that crucial turning point. Also, they're a pack. A smart one at that. While you're running in circles one of them would just pull back a wait to cut you off from another angle....point being, you can't survive. Raptors are the greatest predators in this planet's history. Great simulation though.

Once you break away from their initial charge it is easy to just keep them moving in a circle behind you and keep evading them indefinitly.

Run down, then turn as soon as the one on the bottom right passes to dodge the top. after that its essentially running in a square or circle since they have to stop to turn. straight lines = death. 64 seconds on the second one!

Just keep circling after that and they will never get you. I got infinite time on the first one. go up right until you are out of the triangle of death, then make a sudden turn down.

The strip doesn't mention a slower acceleration, and most of the time the top raptor hasn't had a chance to reach top speed by the time you're caught. Raptor Advocate,
