The game mechanics themselves are interesting, but the game was too frustratingly difficult to be considered fun. I guess it kind of fits the theme. The graphic style was actually pretty cool. With a bit more effort, this game could have been a great success.

The intro and instructions come up, but afterward it stays as a black screen indefinitely (with "orb 0/2" being drawn happily at the corner still).

libgcc_s_dw-1.dll not found. Also antivirus screams and warns and wants to run it in sandbox mode

binary_girl 2011-12-23 19:25

i get the same thing as shigor :(

Also recieving the same error about libgcc. I imagine it's much like the issues I was having with the visual studio redistributable, where the runtime DLL wasn't being compiled into the program, and instead just assumed to be on the system... required compiling it with specific linker flags to fix.

I had to hunt for 2 DLLs to run the game (libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll and libstdc++-6.dll). My antivirus didn't warn about it, and since the source code code is included, I don't think that it is malicious.
Unfortunately the game is buggy and the animations are weird. There is no sound or music. I was unable to complete the game, so I cannot comment on the ending.

I get the same as Daz.

Cannot play or rate - missing libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
Please include all libraries necessary to run the game next time.

Couldn't find a file so it couldn't run. Sorry.

angrygeometry 2011-12-29 04:03

i couldnt run it either which is a shame because the graphic style looks really interesting :(

bentosmile 2011-12-31 14:30

Wanted to rate this, but was missing the dll :(

pighead10 2011-12-31 16:57

Missing dll!

menderslan 2011-12-31 17:40

Same as above, missing dll. :(

caranha 2012-01-03 03:42

Couldn't run. Libgcc was missing :-(

stargoat 2012-01-05 21:36

couldn't run, missing dll

lorancou 2012-01-07 11:09

Missing dll too. I got libgcc from here: http://pt.sourceforge.jp/projects/sfnet_openmarias/downloads/libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll/. And then libstdc++ from here: http://code.google.com/p/wtfu/downloads/detail?name=libstdc%2B%2B-6.dll&can=2&q=. And it worked :) (in sandboxed mode, Avast doesn't like all this)

So you should package those two dlls, or maybe check this post on stackoverflow to remove the need: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4702732/the-program-cant-start-because-libgcc-s-dw2-1-dll-is-missing.

Indeed, it's buggy, but I wouldn't say it's crap. I agree with Aslai that you could have done something really interesting with a bit more polish. The enemies are too fast, the camera rotation is awkward, and the most annoying of all: you can outrun the camera which removes all chance to see the enemies coming. Oh and there's no audio (at least for me). All this prevented me from finishing the game.

I think the camera is the biggest issue here - just keep the camera centered on the player instead of a "lazy camera".
