Sorry, no OS/X
Hey @Endurion, I plan to add a windows version if I can manage to do it quickly.
I downloaded the windows version but i get a notification that says i am missing the MSVCR120.dll
Anything I can do to fix this? More than willing to put in some effort if it helps.
Interesting game, took me a while to figure out the solution.
Hi @DvanderAart - thanks for reporting that! I added msvcr120.dll to the zip file. It's tricky for me to test it myself because I already have all the necessary DLL files on my laptop and don't want to delete random ones to see if my zip file contains everything it needs :)
If anyone still has trouble running the windows version, you can download the needed runtime components directly from Microsoft here:

Just click the Download button on that page. I hope the current zip file makes downloading that unnecessary, though!
I get strange error in windows 7: http://snag.gy/TsAxY.jpg
That means the application couldn't start correctly.
Thanks for posting the link! I did have to dl that before I could play! Solid entry. Good luck!
Nice little puzzle, though it did get a little tedious to control and run back and forth. Or perhaps I just didn't get it :P I love the sounds.
Hi @Ventura - sorry it's not working for you. I developed on a windows 8 machine. I tried to make it windows 7-compatible, but perhaps I messed up and it requires windows 8 after all. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. You could try downloading the windows runtime components to see if that helps. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
Interesting idea and funny sounds hehe :).
Even after installing those components it still doesn't run on my Windows 7 machine I'm afraid.
osx worked for me but the screen was really really small and I couldn't get my mouse back
Very nice idea! I loved the teleportation sound ;)
pretty funny lol
Really cool aesthetics, the game is simple but fun and incorporates well the theme. Nice entry.
Hey @RobotFriend, you can fix the screen size by resizing it before starting to play. Sorry about the difficulty.
Also, @nintendoeats, maybe the app requires windows 8 despite my efforts to avoid that. If anyone has gotten it to run on windows 7 lemme know. Otherwise I'll assume I messed up the dependencies and it only runs on windows 8. Sorry :(
You need the Visual Studio 2013 (x86) runtimes installed. You can get them from here:

Probably best to remove msvcr120.dll from the archive; if it's not installed properly it won't help.
The game's a good piece of work. The portal is impressive. But I couldn't figure out the puzzle at all.
Runs without a hitch on my Macbook. The game was a bit trial and error for me - I simply picked crystals from the other world at random and then brought them to the proper pedestal if the colors matched. Dunno if there was more to it than that. It was a nice, quick and clean little thing anyway, so I don't really have any complaints. Really cute sound effects. :)
