3. Set image compression to Standard in Publish Settings.
4. File > Publish
5. Place the .exe file in a directory with all the files in /levels.
6. Run the game.

Decompilation

1. Decompile age_of_speed2.dcr using ProjectorRays. Make sure that --dump-scripts is enabled.

./projectorrays-0.2.0 decompile age_of_speed2.dcr --dump-scripts

2. Use rename.py to create a new folder with the scripts renamed to their proper names.
3. Patch Movie.ls with this code to allow the game to run offline:
