Somehow I got this done! Relativity and rocks. What more can you ask?
This is a simple little dodge-'em with a twist. I've updated the project page to include a standalone Windows version for people who, for whatever reason, can't or don't want to run the web version.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. This is actually the closest thing to a balanced game I've made yet; most of them are impossible to win. ;-)
So maybe I'm a little biased, but given that I know how much time you actually had to spend on this I think you did an awesome job. Hilarious as always!
Nice funny title. That was an interesting interpretation of the theme.
Nice way to play with the theme, and great humor. Perfect difficulty and length for an LD game.
Simple and sweet. Reminds me of Llamatron and Joust somehow, but that's a warm, fuzzy 20 years old memory :)
Wow, Llamatron and Joust? High praise! :-D
Thanks for all the kind words, guys!
The story is interesting, I like it. You could add some powerups to the gameplay, such as speeds up or shield.
Bonus points for relativity but everything felt so slow compared to how fast I was supposed to be going.
Haha pretty damn hard X_X. Sometimes you get so many UFO dudes going up and down in one area and it gets chaotic hah. Great take on the theme though 5 stars for that. Because einstein. ;)
6.74. Perfect run! :D
This is the first time I've seen Einstein implicated in intergalactic ice cream discovery. The writing is hilarious.
The gameplay itself was pretty fun too. Got pretty hectic at the end. I think it would have benefit from a rising tone indicating speed. Apart from that, nice work! :)
This is the best use of relativity in a game I've ever seen.
Grats, Cryovat! :-D
Thanks everybody for the comments and feedback! I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Haha, loved the interpretation of the theme! Was moderately fun -- it would have been more immersive if it had more eye candy, or good audio. Still, great writing, great game! :D
LOL! The story is really hilarious! :)
The game is graphically very basic, but is more fun than it looks! :)
Once I had read the story and instructions I was in love
This is the first entry I've played that manipulates the length of 10 seconds - "because of Einstein" ha ha - great idea
My only issue is that it begins with a million things on screen, making it quite difficult right from the start.
It would be great to see this game worked on more :D
Absolutely hilarious, I love your sense of humour. The game itself is pretty enjoyable, not hugely difficult but not too easy either. The idea seems relatively (heh) unique. Good job!
Congratulations! You've made a fun game with a great take on the theme. :)
Also, you said you could edit our dialogues a little bit (The Wrong Door) - here is a link: http://goo.gl/Y2xyBs to the texts.
Many thanks!
Yay! I beat it :) Lovely little game. Are you THE Free Radical games that made Timesplitters by any chance? ;P Sorry you had a hard time with our game :( We've added an invert y axis button thanks to your feedback! Cheers!
The instructions were pretty funny. I successfully delivered the ice cream on my first run! Really clever take on the theme.
That was super hilarious! Great writing for the setup of the story and the instructions! Your use of the theme is fantastic and very simple to understand. Love the cute little aliens darting around. Simple controls and challenging dodging gameplay is pretty fantastic! I wish there was more to the sound though, perhaps a warning ticker for the timer would give it more suspense. As well as the art could use more polish but it's really fun! Good job!
Yeah, better sound was next on my to-do list, but time ran out. Glad you enjoyed it, though!
Hehe, pretty cool! I like the idea, managed to beat it after a few tries. Fun! :D
Hilarious game! Hurtling through space at mind-boggling speeds to deliver ice cream! Genius! Although another thing Einstein stated is that once reach that said speed you are looking for in the game, then matter expands causing the vehicle to grow larger in size. Would've been awesome to incorporate that!
Instructions are great! We totally could have done better with ours so, I specially loved it :)
Great job!
Thanks again to everybody who played and rated my game! You'll all awesome. :-D

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
You score big on humor for sure. Fun little game, a bit difficult.
