I'm getting a 'this application failed to initialize properly' error
Also getting the 'application failed to initialize properly' error
Jumping on the "it doesn't run" bandwagon (Windows 7 here). My unenlightening error box states:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002). Click OK to close the application."
I then click OK and the application closes, so that part works right at least. Technology today.
It ran fine on my machine, Windows 7 x64.
I get the "failed to initialize" too. Windows XP SP2.
Works for me and was good fun. Keeping altitude was pretty hard some times. But a fun game none less!
It took a lot of practice to fly that thing, funny game though!
the controls are kind of rough, but i like it! it'd be cool for it to be a little bit longer, though.
Failed to initialize, XP SP2.
Wow what a game! :D Really nice graphics. Sometimes the controls were a bit too slow for my liking. Nice idea and a great implementation of it.
Pretty fun, the controls do seem a bit slow though. Interesting game!
Fails to initiialize, vista 64 bit
Pooping on people was awesome, but it was tough to stay airbourne. Maybe the bat ate some heavy rocks as well?
gah, same error here on XP sp3 :(
edit: tried it on another pc, and it worked.
the controls werent my cup of tea, I didnt think it was cool having to flap to move sideways as well as climb, but its more realistic I guess. anyway, the pooping was awesome, as is the word 'guanometer'
This is really tough to control with the pad, and I soooo want to play this well. Why can't flying be a case of using the stick? Why must I flap? Do you press A to make Mario flail his legs?
Sorry, no worky here either. :(
Looks cool, but on my computer (OS X) it doesn't seem to accept any keyboard input so the bat just falls to the ground and that's it. :(
Works fine, but seems unreasonably hard - the ctrl key gives me almost no lift at all, I have to keep clicking it like crazy to avoid dying by hitting the ground.
The graphics are really nice! The audio works well for the game. Oh, and very nice journal work. :)
Well done!
Funny stuff. It's really hard to drive the bat though, it's way too hard to change direction.
A potty pigeon clone :)
It could be pretty fun if the nasty controls wouldn't ruin the playability. Right at the start you have to madly Ctrl to not die at once. And once you're airborne in the cave you smash into the wall since it takes too much time to slow down again.
If you get the controls friendlier this could be really nice.
it didn't respond to my keyboard. I closed the game and restarted a few times, the last time the game didn't close, I had to ctrl alt delete it.
Fun game. Looks great. Controls were a bit sluggish. It also took me a while to understand that i was supposed to fly back and forth.. so used to linear games were you go left to right. Maybe if the cave was closed and there was a mine entrance. Perfect use of the theme.
Took a couple of tries to get the feel of the controls. A bit lacking in feedback on score, but a nice idea.
It would also be nice if I could steer without having to flap. I also sometimes died without knowing why. Fun game though
Haha, love the title. I liked the game concept, but the controls ruined it for me. It would be a lot more fun if I could actually land and the only things that killed me were the miners.
nice game, just needs more levels/objectives (for me to poop on)
Nice guano effect. As others have said, the controls are a bit hard - I would feel more bat-like if I had more agility, and had to worry less about keeping in the air and more about avoiding stones and miners.
I really liked the pixel art and overall palette. However the controls are way too hard. Eventually I got hold of them, but it took quite some time.
