Release: 0.0.3.03

While not exactly a stable release, it nonetheless includes many updates, including a simple high scores chart, better menu system, more tracks, and a time trial mode (which is the only mode that records high scores, for obvious reasons). While the cosmetic changes aren't all that impressive, i've overhauled the code base significantly, which is why it's now 0.0.3.xx instead of 0.0.2.xx. Enjoy.

Dream Build Play!

Well, I'm on the final stretch of my dream build play warm-up entry here. I must say it's been a wonderful experience. I will release the game sometime this week or next week. There are a couple things that I could have done but didn't due to time constraints, so I'll see if I can add those in soon. If anybody is curious, here's a teaser from a couple days ago. You can probably find a couple more goodies with some URL hacking, but why spoil the fun :D
