Its sooo pretty. Playing this instead of waiting for TF2 to update. Gonna grab some pictures too.
[quote]What is Proun?
Proun is a strange racing game in a world of geometric objects and large coloured surfaces. You avoid obstacles by rotating around a cable in order to gain as much speed as possible. There is no up or down; there is only the cable to which you are attached.
What does Pay what you want mean?
It means that you can set your own price for Proun! If you like Proun, then you can pay what you think it is worth. If you don't want to pay for the game, then you can just download it for free. You can also first download the game for free to try it, and then pay for it after you have decided what you think it is worth.
Why is Proun released as Pay what you want?
Because it is a very fair way to pay for something, and because I want as many people as possible to enjoy Proun. At the same time, I hope people who like Proun will support me in making more games! Some of my next projects are really weird, so some support to get those started would be awesome! For further explanation, please read this blogpost.
What features does Proun have?
-4 unlockable speeds, from relaxed to insanely fast
-2-4 player splitscreen
-Joystick support
-Online highscores
-Championship mode
-Race against ghosts of all your previous times
-3 regular tracks, 1 unlockable bonus track, and 1 bonus track for those who pay for the game
-Highly moddable: tools and documentation to create your own levels are included with the game

I'll pay zero, then buy it for a higher amount when I see how good it is.
Downloaded for free to try it out, but I get an error when I launch it.
[code]---------------------------
An exception has occured!

I'll check on this tomorrow, off to bed.

Silly me, I didn't read the email properly. "Rename the file to Proun.exe" I opened it instead. :v:
I remember hearing about this game. It was made by one of the developers of Swords and Soldiers, a very fun side-scrolling indie RTS.
Very pretty game! It's actually a lot of fun.
I had a ton of fun with this. Will be buying to support the developer when I have some spare cash.
looks pretty cool, will give it a try
Giving it a try, and if i start to feel guilty about not paying, i will buy it.
it sucked

You have such quality posts! A++++ would read again.
ok
it sucked anyways
when someone says that something sucks, people whine that he doesn't back up his terrible opinion with arguments
but when someone says that it's cool, then it's all rightttt

Not entirely true, I want to know what makes a game good. For example, nearly everyone of my friends says Call of Duty is the best FPS on the market, and I'm inclined to disagree strongly.
Actually a pretty fun and addictive game in my opinion, I just can't really understand why v:v:v
For me it's a nice little game, but it needs far more content to be worth money.
But I'm an idiot and gave the guy €10 so what do I know
Didn't really think it was that great at all
I enjoy the game, but damn this one affects me if played for a long period of time compared to Beat Hazard that doesn't do shit to me.

Exactly how much content does a game need to be worth more than $0? :raise:
Anyway, I liked it. If you're a fan of arcade-like racing games (like Trackmania) you'll probably like it too.
Is it wrong that I keep seeing this as "Porn - Featured in modern art museums"?
I saw "Pronoun - Featured in modern art museums".
Awesome music. Second track reminded me of the monsters Inc game :)
Overall it's an artsy, fun game, but it needs some time so it can get more maps n stuff.

Well my expectation was each of the 4 championships was going to be 3 new maps. I would have been happy with that.
I enjoy looking at balls.
Don't misunderstand - it is a good game, and I don't regret paying €10 for it.
But it's in competition with much larger free browser based Unity games funded with sponsorships - and with only 4 maps and a bonus one for buying it, it's not enough content.
fookin prouns
Impossible speed hurts my eyes from the video

Make your own tracks?
Two important things:
1. The high score server is currently down from being flooded with traffic and there's a bug in the game that causes it to freeze when trying to submit high scores because of this. If you downloaded Proun recently you shouldn't have this problem, but if you do [url=http://www.ronimo-games.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1049&sid=6d6e88aaca879974b5e2152d7f2ff647]there's a patch[/url] that fixes it. Just overwrite Proun.exe in the game directory.
2. For everyone bitching about how few tracks there are, remember that users can make tracks and that you can download them and add them to the game for free! In fact someone has [url=http://www.ronimo-games.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1074&sid=04390fdd2a81028350fff351b5a2c436]already released one[/url]. Just extract the track's folder into your "Tracks" directory.
It starts out ok, but I grew tired of it within ten minutes.
Link doesn't work for me.
