Controls are arrow keys or WASD, and Space for the handbrake. P pauses the game.
You are a racer of jet cars.
Your goal is to finish as many laps as possible while avoiding the ghosts.
To finish a lap, drive through all the checkpoints in order. The next checkpoint is marked in green.
Every 10 seconds, a ghost will spawn. Each ghost follows your trail, but 10 (20, 30, ...) seconds in the past. If you stop, the ghosts will catch you and ram you, because they want to be where you are. If you crash, then a ghost will crash in the same place every 10 seconds.
You have 10 health points. Every time you touch a ghost, you lose 1 health point and are granted mercy invulnerability for 1 second.

* End of important things *
My record is 22 laps, at which point there were 33 ghosts on the track. (So I'd been driving for 330 seconds, or 5.5 minutes)
Update: I'm up to 30 laps now.

Win32: b9570c7e435c52d7f83996116449098b3747064c *ld27-jet-racing-release.zip
GNU / Linux (64-bit): 52f18f330ed0106f696795ca8b14123fb3bab2b8 ld27-jet-racing-gnu-linux-64.tar.gz
The Windows version ships with all dependencies.
The GNU / Linux version depends on Lua 5.2, Qt 4.8, and GLEW 1.7. Box2D 2.2.1 is compiled in.
I compiled it on Debian Testing, so if you have that distro installed, it should be easy to find the packages.
The game may also work with Qt 4.7 and GLEW 1.5 or 1.6. The post-compo version (1.1.0) works with Lua 5.1 and Qt 4.6.
