The controls are:
Up: Speed Up
Down: Slow down
Left: Turn left
Right: Turn right

Try not to hit the cubes! Also note that if you lose(and yes you can win) you will lose 5000 points. Have fun!

Sorry that didn't work either. Change at the beginning the line that says speed = 2 to speed = 4 and it should not start you out with losing points.

Great game! Just can't finish it... Too difficult. Hey, there's something up with the final score. When I "die" and my current score is, let's say 200, then the final score shows something like -4650. Could you fix that so everybody could report their own result?

hey, that's nice.
Just two little sugestions:
right after the DO for the game loop add:
l=0;r=0

It gets alot easier to control.
And when you lose don't take all those points away!
They were hard to get!

Apparently that link is not working. try the one below and in the address bar change main.html to WaterRun.zip and it should work.

The matrix on the bottom has the same texture but it's ghosted to make it look like water.

no it never froze, that's what I thought but it waits a couple of seconds when the sphere get's to it's biggest stage and then tells you the score.

I've noticed that when I run the new version in dark basic when I die DarBasic freezes. Run the executable and it won't freeze.

In case you haven't noticed the are also two hidden controls: W and E.
W is warp which increases your speed to 25 units and E is emergency stop which decreases your speed to 0.

By the way Carlitos I had had a version made where you try to outrun a tidal wave...
