That's why you fight by dashing through hordes of enemies. It's still a little unrealistic (I, for example, can't even run for longer than a few mins), but who cares, it's a game :P\r\n\r\nIt's written in C# 5 and will run on Windows and Linux if mono is installed. On Linux you'll also need freetype, but that should be already installed on 99% of all popular linux operating systems.\r\n\r\nPlease DO NOT run it using wine. That won't work. Run it using mono.\r\nOn Windows, it should just work (tm).\r\n\r\nIMPORTANT:\r\nIf the game doesn't run for you, download the FIX, unzip it and run the oalinst.exe from the zip. There's something wrong with the OpenAL library on some platforms. Please also delete the OpenAL32.dll from the game folder if you install the oalinst.exe\r\n\r\nTextures by: Zer0li\r\nCode by: Me (SplittyDev)\r\nEngine Code by: CallumDev, Chronium and Me\r\n\r\nAll assets were made exclusively for this game during the official dev time.
