Windows version (FIXED—let me know if not)!
Linux: Well, both versions include the source code. Just ‘gem install gosu’ and run ‘ruby Main.rb’. You should know how to do these things 
It’s all mouse-based because I tried to use controls simple enough to run on the iPhone (theoretically …). Hope it’s self explanatory, I moved the readme inside the game!
Known bugs:
- The pretty Unicode star (see screenshot) doesn’t work on Windows
- On WIndows, it opens a useless console window when you run the game
- (Gameplay usually suffers a bit because there is no incentive to actually use curved streets, like more points for driving on them :/ Still, I got >36k on my third game and it involved lots of curves at least in the first two thirds!)
Features I had to leave out:
- Bulldozers that appear instead of cars sometimes, and can break through thin obstacles
- In turn, a limit on rotations
- Powerups on streets—when collected, the landscape would scroll slower or you could access more than one item in the pipe
- A wrap-around world—what leaves to the left, appears to the right etc.
- Jumping tiles
- One-way tiles
- More sounds & music, pretty random landscape tiles, etc. etc.
