I can't open the game on my Windows x86 =(

Fun little game, good job. :)

Same here (windows 10 64 bit)

Like the concept, simple but working well

@MorganLeFay that's really weird. Did you get an error message or did it just not open?

It's failing to compile a vertex shader - http://pastebin.com/s8rzAgP8
and it just hangs.

@PendingChaos: Just run it using mono.
$ mono ProjectBowtie.exe

The libraries for linux are included. Wine is not the best way of running it :P

Laughed a bit at the game over screen! While I can hear some incredibly faint music (I had to turn up the volume quite a bit), some sound effects would make a game this a lot better. Check out http://www.bfxr.net/

@ranseur: We actually made sounds but the engine code is a bit buggy and we had issues with sound effects

Well done on your first entry :) I eventually died in wave 3. Orange things sometimes damages me when i dash through them. Not sure if there's a way to prevent this. Would be more fun if I felt a little more over powered(even though I'm a nerd) :)

Is there difference between moving and dashing? Hold the button, it moves or dashes. Be hurt when touch the monsters, and die, maybe this is only moving, not dashing. How to cause damage to monsters? I just don't know how to dash.
Btw, is there a way to exit the game? I have to kill the process to exit..

Smash the right button for the win!
Nice little game, wonder how I could dodge the damage from the sword spiders. Sometimes they hit me and sometimes they didnt o.o

@qwetro you click the right button to dash. For exiting you press escape and exit :D

Had to install OpenAL but worked well after that.
The game is quite fun but I think it would have been better if the right click was a short range attack, I found myself not using the left button at all because I could move and attack all with the right button. Good game nonetheless!
