I think you might have downloaded the wrong version. One verision has all of the light effects (that's the first link) the second link was the one used for the contest because I accidentally uploaded the wrong one. :-S

We were banned from the contest because we were accused of cheating. The guy who sponsored it said we worked on the game before the he two-month contest even started, which makes no sense because the game is eight minutes long (we worked on it the last two days before it was due). Me thinks that he did it because he just didn't like the game. >_> I don't know if the Germany community has this problem, but RM2K3 games are not well-liked by some people.
