Because we couldn't figure out how to get the actual engine timer to work right, the timer is "tick" based and can occasionally be glitchy. Usually, restarting the VM fixes it, but not always. We're currently working on separating the timer out and implementing it like it should have been. This hurts our scoring, but we think the overall concept is fun and want to extend it. Look out for updates to this if you care to see our progress. We really do appreciate all of your inputs! :D"},{"author_name":"MrBlade","author_uid":"23232","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 7:31pm","epoch":1387308360,"text":"I can't run it.

You only get one Roller Skate, and one Ice Skate. The trick is to use the roller skate on the pavement, and the ice skate on the ice. You use the mouse keys to switch back and forth between the two skates. You only get one minute and you want to collect as many coins as you can. \r\nApologies for the bugs, we felt pretty rushed at the last minute. There were a lot of features we wanted to work in, and a few big bugs we wanted to fix, but 72 hours goes by SO FAST.\r\n\r\nMike -- We were really excited to a part of LD28 this year as we weren't sure at first how it was going to work into our schedule. It turns out, it worked perfectly! Our game is a bit rough, as a proof of concept, it's a fun jaunt, so give it a whirl. Keep in mind when reviewing we created EVERYTHING, from scratch, ourselves. ALL of it was produced during the 72 hour period and some of that we had to learn as we went *cougharmaturescough*! So, please be gentle. :D\r\n\r\nThis is a zipped java game, so you should be able to just download, unzip, and run MyGame.jar.\r\nThanks for reviewing!\r\n\r\nAlso, even though we don't have a website, check out http:\/\/modulus360.com\/ as we continue to make changes as suggested by our users. We'd like to polish this off a little bit and would love it if our LD family got a chance to see it!\r\n\r\nHint: Don't try to get all the coins.\r\nAnother Hint: Change skate a little before he hits the ice.\r\nIt takes him a minute to put his foot down.","title":"You Only Get One Skate!"}
