I'll just get this over with and tell you that this art is great! It's minimalistic but still it has a lot of charm. Great job on that! The gameplay reminds me of something that I would play for hours in my mobile device(which is good). The theme was integrated pretty well too in the game.

Great job overall for submitting <3

Wasn't able to run it because it's a debug build (IIRC you need to have Visual Studio installed to run those). Suggest making a release build.

Could've compiled it myself, but the engine code is missing. :/

Not to play rules police, but if you don't want to share your engine, consider submitting to jam instead of compo.

Hey, I got an error when I ran the game. Will check in again later to see if I can get it working.

@holyblackcat @blacksheepza im sorry for the inconvenience i did build in release mode but apparently i was missing two debug dlls? Probably vs screwing stuff up. I am not sure why but i tested the new build on a laptop without vs and it worked now. Again really sorry for the inconvenience but you should be able to play the game now!

@comfy thanks!

The new build works, thanks! Ended up with a score of 16. Respect for using your own engine, even if things don't go smoothly. :P

The debug dlls you were missing are required by `freetype.dll`. So maybe you built freetype in debug mode?

Also I'm getting minor graphical glitches on top of the player:

@holyblackcat sorry to hear that! I think it might be a resolution issue as for freetype ill be sure to investigate!

I managed to run the new build as well. Game seems a bit glitchy, but overall fun.

@lesinvisible thanks! What about it was glitchy? I just want to know so i can do better next time.
