TrailRider

Very nice TrailBlazer style game by Thijs over at Arcazoid

[quote]Trailrider, the ultimate game to test your reflexes. Bounce and slide to the finish line, but watch out for holes and other obstacles on the road in a race against the clock!

Try to get as fast as possible over the finish line. The hardest path is often the fastest. Pick up as much coins as possible on your way to the finish line. Watch out which path you chose, as some tiles may work against you…

full instructions, tips and what the different tiles do on the how to play page.

you can play the game here

You can try to play the game there. I get a ClassFormatError.

hmm, I’ve tested it on two computers seems to work for me.

anyone else get it to work or fail?

I try it (not mush). It starts and it seems to work fine.

Firefox 3.5.2, Windows XP, Java 1.6_013.

Works for me just fine.

The ClassFormatError is Konqueror / Linux / 6u14.
With Firefox / Linux / 6u14 it just freezes in

and (because of Firefox’s threading model - i.e. don’t) locks the entire browser up.

Works in Firefox / OS X / 1.5 it works (although it doesn’t seem to correctly map Ctrl-click to right click so there’s no way to mute it).

Very similar to what ericd did. Cool.

Worked fine for me, although it kind of sucked when I fell into a hole and then got spawned right back into another one lol.
