Can't run because I'm missing XINPUT1_3.dll - will try on another machine but maybe this is a common problem?

When I try to open the downloaded ZIP file in windows explorer I get the message "The compressed folder is invalid".

Did not know what to do, just kept walking on the maze, just one question, it was made on the Unreal Engine 4 ?

muriel 2014-08-25 13:31

me too.

jvdo 2014-08-25 13:33

It looks like the archive is corrupted.

crezefire 2014-08-25 13:34

goffmog: I think XINPUT is needed for game to run / controller support.

SomeGreenGoo: Sometimes chrome blocks the file, go to downloads tab and click on "Keep", I'll try and upload a *.7z

Hyoga-3D: yes it was made in UE4. Also, you need to go around and find the key and then use to to unlock the door.

Can't open the zip..

I think your server is aborting the connection early or something - I have tried three times to download, one is 12MB, 22MB and 30MB - despite the expected size to be 35MB.

Seems glitchy, I kept walking off the edges, getting black screens or flipping my screen. No idea how the color changing or firing mechanics worked after 5-8 minutes of play. Here's a video where you can watch some glitches and my thoughts [1:30]

Damn, thanks for the update though. I've now switched to Google Drive.

I can't chage colors :ะก Indication changed but maze always green.

mcfood 2014-08-25 13:41

Hey,that website seems to be having some trouble. Perhaps put it up on dropbox/google drive/ that one with the .go or something.

mcfood 2014-08-25 13:42

Ahh, upon refreshing, all was well.

simonnaus 2014-08-25 13:46

I managed to get atop the walls so I cheated a little :P. I like the Tron-like style, nice work on making all the veins glow!

gambitsunob 2014-08-25 13:48

I was able to run it, zip seems to be fine. Was a little confused on what to do exactly.
Screen kept getting rotated, screen went black, fell off the edge, died from halos :)

njord 2014-08-25 13:51

I was unable to change colors, not exactly sure why, so I didn't get to test the game really, I just wandered a bit in the green maze. I like the style of the maze and the music, but hard to judge the gameplay here.

crezefire 2014-08-25 13:55

You can switch colours by pressing 1 (Red), 2 (Green), 3(Blue) and then shooting into a wall. They all have 10 second timers to recharge.

mcfood 2014-08-25 13:57

A bit difficult to navigate, slightly leaning more towards frustrating than challenging for me. Perhaps just because its difficult to get your bearings even when the camera is upright. Excellent style.
But its got some really cool mechanics, looks great and I liked the soundtrack!

g_o 2014-08-25 14:32

The game isn't running because some dll is missing
I think it's visual studio redistributable ; you should've included it in the zip

demorro 2014-08-25 16:44

Dem Graphics!

xwarzonex 2014-08-25 20:25

Nice graphics

andybrown 2014-08-26 00:38

Very pretty game. The controls seemed to glitch out on me, like I would get pulled up into a wall and forward would move me backwards and such. Loved the aesthetics of the game though!

mechabit 2014-08-26 00:40

Nice artwork and mechanics, good job on 48 hrs

rd127p77 2014-08-26 23:12

Reminds me of the newer Tron, Everything ran fine on my computer.

zeppelincaptain 2014-08-27 11:07

Could not run the .exe file.

perecil 2014-08-27 11:12

I'm not sure I'm encountering a bug, but some times, when I move throught the maze, I got some kind of black screen. Sometimes I can unstuck, sometimes I can't.

crezefire 2014-08-28 16:23

The "bugs" are actually traps / obstacles :D

jannesn 2014-08-28 16:32

I did not really know what to do. Can you maybe enhance the description, so we know better what is happening?

eruiz00 2014-08-28 16:36

Oh my good... inspiring screens but does not run... I'll try to install directx and xna

endurion 2014-08-28 17:52

Can't fairly vote as it doesn't run very good on my machine. I thought decent engines like UE would adapt.

julian_wodrazka 2014-08-28 17:54

great game!

glbs 2014-08-29 22:15

Pretty nice graphics!

darkcart 2014-09-05 21:41

I like the graphics.

apiotrw 2014-09-13 14:53

Very unusual art style
