I can't seem to figure out how to run it either. I get no error, but running either of the "run-" programs in the folder seems to have no result past a console window opening for a split second.

"The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
or
"The system cannot execute the specified program."
when I use your batch files.
I managed to start it. Nice graphics, but there isn't much of a gameplay present.
It could be pretty fun doing vomit-strafe-runs (just like playing l4d!), but there's no enemies to asplode. The explosion sound effect is WAY too loud; fortunately they never stacked or I'd be concerned about my speakers. Could be good, but too unfinished.
Ah this is pretty weird! XD Nice concept! It's a shame the grid tiles aren't more visible, as the way the bombs explode seems strange otherwise.
Re-downloaded and now runs.
Control system + physics worked well - though the game seemed to run very slowly for (very smooth, just slow). The overlapping soft-edged tiles wre a nice idea. Shame there were no enemies/hazards to add a challenge
I found the cake!
Love the main character.. reminds me of something Don Hertzfeldt would create. I also like the concept of exploding puke balls. I couldn't really find much of a game here though so I got a bit bored before I found the cake. Maybe you shouldn't have told me ahead of time that I couldn't eat it... remember, the cake is a lie-- not the truth. ;)
Congrats on your first LD and thanks for keeping a great journal!
Works on my machine, probably because of all the VS versions installed ;)
Anyway, nice idea but not much of a challenge. A few obstacles and health for the player would spice this up.
Interesting, cute graphics. Not a ton of gameplay, and the controls are fairly awkward with a touchpad.
main mechanic seemed to be interesting, but I played it with a touchpad, so it felt akward. quite unfinished though. The bang sound was also very loud
