Once you've racked up some coins it gets to be a really fun challenge to swap them at just the right time. Feels a bit slow to start off or if you make a mistake though.

Fun idea, but the controls really weren't that great :( It was difficult switching, and I would frequently get stuck on the borders because I switched too early!

Also, huge download 0.0

Extremely slow to start off, and I think something was wrong with the timer in my game. It definitely took it a lot longer than a second to count out a second.

I love the concept though. In the long run, someone could do a lot with a racing game that works like this.

I think the time counter is a little slow, it seemed like it took about 5 minutes to reach the one minute mark.
Other than that, the game was fun! It's just really slow to start off.

We apologize about the timer synchronization. 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

I can't run it. "A Java Exception has occured." is the error when I try and run it.

Can you be more specific about the error message you received, or is that all it says?

Starts off slow, but a pretty fun game.

mrblade 2013-12-18 19:06

That is all that the error message says.

Oh yeah, OS: Windows 7 64 bit, haha. Sorry.

Interesting idea. I just wish the guy went a little faster.

Fun once you get going. I'd say it's a bit narrow and the controls are a touch sensitive. Really easy to skate straight off the level.

Love the concept! The character animation is hilarious! XD
