Still no .exe I’m afraid. I do appreciate that people have tried the game, and I should have included some kind of warning that the original release was rather unfinished, apologies for that. However I was unsure if I should reply to the comments, as I felt that I had committed to what I released and I wanted it to stand on its own, admittedly somewhat stunted, two feet. The new release includes most of the features I originally had planned. Now back to playing the rest of the games!
.exe update: Now you can get a Windows .exe bundled either as a .zip (about 9MB) or as a tar.gz (about 4MB).
What weird functions does pyglet use for a rather simple game?
Dang: File "pygletgllib.pyc", line 63, in MissingFunction pyglet.gl.lib.MissingFunctionException: glGenBuffers is not exported by the available OpenGL driver. VERSION_1_5 is required for this functionality.
Hmm. I can't tell which of those counters is supposed to be the score.
My guess is that you're supposed to go up to get the greenish things to make you faster, then down and avoid the walls to pick up the boxes which score points... I dunno.
Anyway, the framerate goes way south after playing for more than 10-20 seconds. Also, I don't get any sound, not even white noise. Nice colours and visual design though.

I'm running Vista, and I've got this same error from other games using pyglet.
I liked your choice in color, and wanted to like the game... but I honestly didn't really understand what was going on, even after playing the post-compo version. The lack of instructions combined with the fact that everything is the same color and general shape makes it very hard to figure out what to do. The dual scores make it even more confusing...
Um. Is the sound supposed to be white noise in a short, endless loop?
The game itself didn't seem to work right either. Some other squares went flying by at first, and the background changed colour, but then my square was all alone on the screen. Nothing else happened. Did I miss something?
It took a while to figure out what to do. As I went up, there didn't seem to be very many enemies, but when I went down instead there were more and more. I found that despite the somewhat jerky controls, the difficulty wasn't very high. I also have no idea what the number at the top was for, it stops at 300.
Not really sure what I'm supposed to do, when I collide with squares the bottom number increases and a pleasant sound is heard, when I collide with a rectangle, the top number is increased and an unpleasant sound is heard. If I go too far in either direction I'm alone.
