A pretty fun game with some strategy required. Good audio work! Would have been nice to have a win condition though, after about 20 e's, I no longer felt a reason to continue.

Pretty good. The controls were a bit clunky, but innovative. I guess that was by design.

Crash on startup, Win7 x64, I have all the imaginable redistr etc. as I'm doing XNA myself. As a Jam entry, can't recompile either.
Rudy - do you definitely have version 4.0 of the XNA Redist?
Everyone else - thanks!
@rubzo: My game's in XNA, and I've played other XNA games, so yes, I'm 99% sure.

I just installed the XNA redistributable from the link in your REAMDE but still tells me "Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application." Any idea?
@Rudy - okay, guessing there's some sound weirdness on your computer, so I've uploaded a version which should work for you now, let me know if you're still having issues!
@summaky - there's a very tenuous possibility (based on one forum page I just found) that it could be related to your sound. If so, try downloading the 'Windows (FIXED)' version above, and see how you get on with that. Let me know if it's still troubling you!
Took me some time before I found I can move the spotlight, you've confused me by ESC only! ;)
Not bad, quite funny, bit simplistic and boring later on.
I realize now it's an XNA and DRM and Media Player thing with someone doing DRM and someone else not running and someone else deciding to forbid the song. Apparently I need to install Media Player and some bloatwary things I'm not using that may cause existing things to get mangled. I played other XNA games with the same thing by recompiling with Song playing disabled. I'll read on this more later and see if there's an easy fix.
