When the \"finish this\" sign shows up you have to \"hit\" you target (be on the same lane and in the same position).\r\n\r\n If the game crashed with error code 421, you are the one to blame, you cheater ];)\r\n\r\n In Fast mode there is no goal, only SPEED. Try to reach 999 pixels per second (and turn down your volume, you have been warned ];) ). You can probably exit to menu by pressing ESC (but i'm preety sure i messed up such a simple thing ]:I , use ALT+F4 instead).\r\n\r\nThe game generates a folder structure at the location of the JAR file, starting with a \"DCODE\" directory. you can find a file called \"engine.ugc\" which holds some configuration settings.\r\n\r\nTo resize the game window change the value of \"Pixel Size\" in the configuration file.\r\nYou can also change the volume and fullscreen mode in there.\r\n(sadly, fullscreen doesn't work on linux with multiple displays (at least in compositing window managers, i think it worked properly in i3))\r\n\r\nDetails:\r\n Bar movement:\r\n if the proximity meter is at 0% the bar will be slowly going left (bad)\r\n if the proximity meter is above 50% the bar will be going right (good) at different speeds\r\n Proximity:\r\n 0% is more than 299px, 100% is less than 2px\r\n\r\nSoftware used:\r\n Language: Java\r\n IDE: Intellij IDEA\r\n Engine: Special version of uEngine2 (my own, contains TinySound library by finnkuusisto) \r\n Graphics: Aseprite + GIMP + Pinta\r\n Sound: bfxr + KWave\r\n Music: LMMS\r\n\r\nCredits:\r\n Coded by dusakus\r\n Art by vetch and dusakus (spaghetti by kristoverek)\r\n Sounds by bfxr random number generator ]:V\r\n Music: title by dusakus, ingame slightly modified version of CC0 thingy from\r\n http:\/\/opengameart.org\/content\/spaaaaaace-music\r\n secret is secret, but if you find it, you know where it came from ];)\r\n\r\n\r\nMade in Poland\r\n\r\n(if you have hard time playing the game, but want to at least see all it has to offer you can cheat a bit by using CTRL+SHIFT+F to speed up and CTRL+SHIFT+R to slow down, do it at your own risk, as only speed mode is able to handle really high velocities) ","title":"Speedy GOO-zales and the meal of infinity"}
