And I’m very tired.<\/p>\n

But quite happy with what got done in a weekend – didn’t even start till saturday!<\/p>\n

The game is here, plays in browser, so give it a go, all feedback welcome \":)\"<\/p>\n

Edit:<\/p>\n

1) Getting some comments on adherence to theme. The first 3 levels, as I said in the manual, are just tutorials. The game proper, and hence the use of the road, doesn’t start till after that. Seems people aren’t willing to put in the time to get good at the physics – that’s my fault, retrospectively I should have pitched it at an easier difficulty level.<\/p>\n

2) It’s partly hard, because it’s not an established paradigm – I wanted to do things a bit differently, turn the gameplay on it’s head, so to speak, so there’s new skills to learn.<\/p>\n

I’ll give 3 awards to the first three people who complete it, bronze, silver, and gold.<\/strong><\/em> To claim, post up a screen shot of the game completion screen. It’s definitely possible to complete, I’ve done it \":)\"<\/p>\n

2.5) Some people mightn’t realise you can shoot enemy turrets with your mouse<\/strong>. That stops them killing you and makes it a bit easier.<\/p>\n

3) Ok, so people are having difficulty with the resolution. It only requires 800×800 as an app, but if this is too much for you, download the projector version and resize that, as I mention in the comments and on the webpage.<\/p>\n
