Excellent game. Tone really fits in… and the controls are spot on.

I can't get it to work. Says something about parallel setting (or something similar, it's in finnish).
I can't get it to work also :( Here is a screenshot of the error I get : http://puu.sh/2Jkmf.png
"The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail."
This appears to be related to missing the correct C++ runtime components.

I can't seem to get this to run.
Anyone knows which C++ runtime should I install in order to play the game ?
Thanks guys, I'll see if I can fix it up
Just updated the build, should be fine now (fingers crossed)
Yeah, windows version working just the same as mac version now.
Awesome game by the way! The last level was difficult but totally worth it hah!
Would have been fun, but the player dot was hard to tell apart from a few flecks on my monitor, and the pillar smashing sound made me want to tear my ears off.
It's very hard to see the player as he is only the size of a pixel :/
great game, but perhaps the player could be bigger than 1 pixel
Very cool, liked all the variations of the same enemy/mechanic
The dot is really small, makes my eyes hurt, it's fun though and a bit challenging
Great job, but the dot was way too small as mentioned.
It is pretty small. I guess it sit too close to my screen so it seemed fine, I could't follow it when other people played it though
Fun game, good use of theme. I like the implicit music caused by the rhytmic crusher things. As others have said, this game kinda hurts my eyes... Seems like a few games in this LD have that quality :D
This was actually pretty cool but I think you missed an opportunity with the sound. If the size of the crusher effected the pitch of the sound you could have had the level generate the music for you
Korda - That would have been awesome!
I really like how the crushers provide "music" for the game, and how some screens seemed to, perhaps inadvertently, use polyrhythms. The one pixel character was confusing at first, and I had to clean my screen to figure out what was actually happening.
There I was, having made it through hell, enjoying a nice stroll through a couple of screens of progressively narrower but danger-free lanes, when it crashed =[
(Windows version, I'm running Win7 x64. I was at the end of a very narrow screen-long lane if that helps at all)
Still rating you up - this was far better than the screenshots might have led me to think!
Love it. The maze can get quite confusing and some of the stompers are brutal!
Great fun. Certainly is a tad brutal - but the challenge was well worth it.
Quite recommend it :)
It turns out that the game is a community service announcement to get people to clean their computer screens
Hadyn - are there files in the resources folder?
Great game! Really challenging!
Awesome. Really fits the theme of minimalism. Good job!
I could imagine that not everyone would be able to see the little dot, but I could, and I thoroughly enjoyed this game.
This is the the most minimalist game I have played. Haha :P Love the level design, but it's really hard to see the player. But I guess that's part of minimalism, so. Nonetheless, great work!
