If you go to Practice mode with two players, after 1-2 collides the game crashes on Windows.
Hello. Thank you (sincerely) for taking the time to report this issue. However, this is a game that I made when I was 16 years old — just nearly 10 years ago at this point.
It’s frankly a small miracle that the game works at all: I remember looking at the source code a couple of years after publishing the game, and finding that the code that determined the victor in the event of a collision wasn’t doing anything too logical.
In any case, I think it still came out nicely; you’ll find I haven’t made anything as big or as successful since. But it is ten years old at this point, it came out when Windows 8 was the latest thing, and it has done all it could do, I think.
I don’t even have the source code for this game anymore. (Not at hand, at least, I think I know where I could go dig for it.)
What I’m saying is that I feel old, and that I ought to have reached some sort of statute of limitation, but if I stumble upon the source code for the game in my backups hard drive, I’ll take a look.
Best, Miguel
Wow, that's cool
What an amazing game. On OS X, when you leave the game with Command-Tab, you can't go back though. Other than that, excellent job!
