Broken Link :(

Link works now, but the game doesn't run on my Windows 7 system. At first I needed to download MSVCP120.dll, but now it just throws a "application could not be started" kind of error when trying to run the exe. :/
The "you can only move in one direction" premise sounds interesting though, I'd really like to see where you went with it. So I'll try to run it on another machine later.

Ah, same here with the MSVCP120.dll missing :(. Try packaging it with the game. I'll keep this one in the backlog and see if you get it fixed later on!

You need to install SDL

Sorry dude, same problem as ShellfishGames and Nelien

I downloaded SDL from http://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php (tried both the win-32 and 64 bit version) but both only include the SDL2.dll which you have already packaged in your folder, so I don't think that's the problem. I replaced the file but I'm still getting the MSVCP120.dll error. In fact, that dll is from the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, so that's what's missing. I'll try installing it later today but I would suggest you look up how to bundle the dll into the package so it's not so much work for people to get your game running :/.

Why did you put AdFly links? They don't work for me (using Ghostery).

It's not a good idea to call your folder "LD28", since most of the people downloading already have a ton of LD28 games installed.

Also, can't run the game.

I really like the game. I see you have some distribution issues like I had, good to see you solved them :)

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to yadda yadda.

Using Windows 7, 64-bit.

Whenever I see an adf.ly link, I want to do terrible things to the person who made them.

I finally play it with that fix http://www.down-dll.com/index.php?file-download=msvcr120.dll&arch=32bit&version=12.0.21005.1&dsc=Microsoft%AE-C-Runtime-Library# . Your game ask me for msvcr120.dll . I like it you made a good game with only 1 button and it's not a runner, but I stucked in the 4th or 5th stage. Good job. I'm sorry for all the problems you are having :(

Okay, now the download link works, but

Finally it works. Pretty fun, but level 7 seems to be unwinnable.

MSVCR.dll is now bundled with the game. Hopefully this is going to be the end of the technical difficulties. I'm really sorry for all of the problems that happend

Thanks for solving all the problems, works fine on my computer now. :)
I like how you handled that "one key only" situation. Having to plan your moves and execute them accurately really is something different than the usual runner games relying mostly on reflexes. The learning curve seemed pretty good as well, but I couldn't get through Level 7.

Pretty cool game, man! I don't know if you did this on purpose or not, but did you know that if you reset after hitting a block it saves your movement velocity? (Touch a block, hold r, let go, you move as if you had just hit the arrow block.)

That is one of the mechanics of this game. So yeah that was intentional.

Nice concept, shame you didn't manage to add some content... And by the way I can't finish level 7...

Really neat idea! I'm not to fond of the physics feeling so linear though.

Pretty fun! Nice mechanics idea. Also I ran it on Linux (via Wine) and it works perfectly.

Hi, i'm from http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-28/?action=preview&uid=21047
You didn't play my game cause of all the work... I shortened the process, now the file is executable :)
Thanks for your feedback !

About yours : I liked the squared dancing guy between the level ahah, good use of the theme.

Cute. Having momentum carry over after restarting needed to be taught a bit more clearly, I think, but yeah.

Haha great mechanic you added on the last few levels. Discovered it by accident, thought I spotted a bug. Didn't realize the restart button was actually going to be used as a mechanic in itself. Great job!
