Says it can't start, because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing

nsoul 2015-04-20 13:26

same here libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll missing :(

ThijsTak 2015-04-20 13:37

I'm getting a 404 for both links.

androniq 2015-04-20 13:48

Same here :( Hope you can fix it, the game looks interesting

indiestry 2015-04-20 13:50

Really Really Fun puzzle, had a great time with it, my favourite so far :) BTW Works on Windows 7

holyblackcat 2015-04-20 13:55

I fixed it, now it should work for everyone.

pi_pi3 2015-04-20 13:57

Same.

ThijsTak 2015-04-20 13:59

Ok, nevermind, the issue was probably on my side.
Pretty neat game. Interesting take on the theme.

nsoul 2015-04-20 14:18

It works :D, really cool idea and nice minimalist sound design i like it^^

strisla 2015-04-20 14:35

Works now, pretty cool

wilpel1234 2015-04-20 15:32

Awesome game, very original!

jakob37 2015-04-20 15:33

Doesn't start for me, I get an error and it crashes!

holyblackcat 2015-04-20 15:36

@Jakob37 >_> My crystal ball is broken, what error exactly?

bace1000 2015-04-20 16:03

When I open the game I get a blank, black screen. Help?

holyblackcat 2015-04-20 16:06

I have no idea what's wrong. Try to Alt+Enter to windowed mode, maybe it will change something.

maunovaha 2015-04-20 16:08

Wow. That was pretty impressive. It was surprising how polished you have made the game. Nice! :O

jakob37 2015-04-20 16:14

I get the error "Shader #0 compilation failed", you can see the full error message in following link:

I have a very low level graphic card (Intel family chipset) which I sometimes have had issues with. I don't know if that could be a factor here.

holyblackcat 2015-04-20 17:03

As I said in you game comments, the error means that your videodriver or videocard itself is too old. Try to update the driver.

bace1000 2015-04-20 17:18

@HolyBlackCat Sorry it still didn't work. The screenshots look nice though xD

zayron 2015-04-20 17:28

Nice game and nice mood. I was not sure how to get passed the third room after I killed all the ghost.

neonian 2015-04-20 19:06

Very nice concept!

okacat 2015-04-20 19:07

I get a black screen on Win8

stevenlr 2015-04-20 19:20

The game mechanics are really interesting! Your game is extremely well polished and the mood and graphics are perfect. Extremely solid entry! Funnily enough, I has a similar idea about attraction and repulsion but I used magnetic energy and a mobile device. ;)

akokich 2015-04-21 06:51

There is something satisfying about riding one of those blocks around the screen and smashing the enemies. Very fun!

firaa 2015-04-21 07:04

This was a pretty fun puzzle game. I'm impressed by how well it is made.

dagatts 2015-04-21 15:08

Loved the song, the theme, the colors and had fun playing. It´s hard for kids though! My daughter could not get alive from the 3rd scene! ^^

manabreak 2015-04-21 15:35

I think the game doesn't really need the enemies. It would be better without them. :)

holyblackcat 2015-04-21 15:43

You're completely right!
It was 5 hours before the deadline when I remembered about them. "Oh shit, the theme says *weapon*, but my game don't have any enemies, I need to add them."

androniq 2015-04-21 16:21

Sorry, can't play it. Tried again, but it seems my creaking old laptop can't handle openGL 3.3 :(

horsed 2015-04-22 08:01

Nice take on the theme! Personally I wouldn't need enemies, as I already like those kind of puzzles. But I see, that enemies add some sort of time constraint. I like really like the look of it. Good job!

t8000 2015-04-22 15:15

Great idea, good mood and great puzzling. Excellent job HolyBlackCat!

phi6 2015-04-23 15:49

The only thing I'd say is to make your camera lerp to your position rather than instant translation, that'll help it feel less jerky...

Other than that - pretty good platforming physics and amazing charge mechanics! Such a good idea :) I also created a platformer/Metroidvania type thing, so I'm very happy I stumbled onto your entry!

trasevol_dog 2015-04-23 16:45

Very good puzzle game ! Graphics are efficients and concept is really good !

ethanwebster 2015-04-23 19:55

Really solid game, great job!

tughan 2015-04-23 19:58

One of the best I've seen so far. Intelligent.

diegoescalante 2015-04-24 00:38

Spectacular mechanic. Very unique. It is simple to understand but can produce many complicated puzzles. I am also a fan of the music. Very minimal, but it sets the mood really well. Nice job!

flwns 2015-04-24 04:12

this is one of my favorite entries, cool stuff

awpteamoose 2015-04-24 08:49

It's quite difficult, but pretty good. I like how the attraction force is pretty much constant regardless of distance, it removes the chaotic element of physics unpredictability that ruins many physics-based puzzle games.

druid 2015-04-24 09:00

Working fine for me. And it is pretty good game! I really like gameplay mechanics! Great work!

bizm 2015-04-25 19:12

Loved it! This was genius! :D The music really set the mood, and the mechanic was very, very fleshed out for something made in such a short time. The difficulty ramped up a bit too quickly for me though.

zerocreativity1 2015-04-26 11:47

I really like the game. it would be nice if you could add some more mechanics and make into a full game. Some plot to the game might help. But really solid entry.

ciderpunk 2015-05-07 14:08

wow those were some tough puzzles excellent job!

jerryleelodbrok 2015-05-08 02:57

+1 for Coulomb's Law

pietdagamer 2015-05-08 12:50

Wow, a very creative mechanic! I had a lot of fun playing the game. The audio and graphics are very fitting.

tselmek 2015-05-08 15:44

I apparently can't run the game because my "videocard is too old", too bad, it looked very nice.

hunter-x 2015-05-08 15:58

I didn't immediately identify that the characters and spikes would kill me, and the death screen lasts a bit long unless you think to try and move, but beyond that this is a very clever and entertaining game :)

mokujin 2015-05-08 17:10

Amazing puzzles!

crazyal02 2015-05-08 17:29

Cool concept, and the puzzles were interesting!

igor-kingamer 2015-05-10 14:03

Unfortunately, I can't run it... On 2 notebooks (Windows 7 and 8), the same error:
> OpenGL 3.3 (compatibility profile) context init failed.
> 1. Update your videocard driver [note: I tried it but it didn't help]
> 2. Force your driver to use best available videocard for this application. If it still complains about your OpenGL, then your videocard is probably too old for this program. [note: x_x]

careless 2015-05-10 23:45

Very nice game, made it through several levels. I liked the graphics and the concept is very interesting.

Quite difficult bit pleasing
