We released in conjunction with Way Of The Rodent's christmas special.
I've also upped a page on my own site.

Bear in mind, this is not an exact replica of the engine and rooms but
as near as damn it ;)
Certain concessions were made to make the game work and more
importantly be fun in multiplayer :D
The map is twice the size of JSW2 and there is a 1 player mode but
that is just for exploration purposes.
Very handy for honing those routes for the race games ;)
Anyway, hope you all enjoy.
