Sonny, I wrote a Mac app packager for Love2D myself a couple of months ago. It's on the forums. Use that, don't make me download a bunch of crap.

I don't have a windows machine to run on, but here's a link to a pre-packaged macos version.

Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

The OSX build isn't stand-alone - I don't want to download Love2D and fidget around with it myself (last time I tried it was a bit not well behaved) - there are packagers now though that you can use?

Thanks for providing a binary :)

Nice idea. The sonar effect is pretty well done. Some of the spikes are hard to evade but thank god you put some powerups. The flapping could be balanced a bit better. Right now you either fall down or shoot up in the air. Maybe my hands are not what they used to be ;)
Well done!

Great concept, nicely executed. Controls were terrible, though. Going up was really difficult... Graphics could have a little more of consistency (stars/powerups doesn't really fit the rest). Good job!

Really cool game. It's a bit tricky to keep track of both sonar and up/down speed at the same time, but perhaps that's the game. I think it would have been easier if you always had had a notion of your up/down speed, even when it was pitch black.

I love this game! Pity more people haven't rated it. I'm guessing the initial requirement of having to install love2d put people off, before you had the Windows binary.

The sonar effect is really nice. Just wish you'd had time to do more with the sound.
