umm... just thought you should know I downloaded and tried playing the newest Windows download version for this game but it seems to be broken as the game doesn't want to launch... at all. already tried downloading it again twice now but keep getting an error message when I run the exe file to launch the game saying that and I quote: "the application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application eventlog or use the command-line sxstrace tool for more details."

so yeah can you please fix this?

Hi, the game should run Windows10 or higher out of the box, but from that error message it sounds like a PC-specific issue. You can try the following:

Make sure your operating system is up to date
Make sure your graphic driver is up to date
Make sure you have at least "Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio" 2013 and 2015 installed on your PC (if they're already installed, try to uninstall then install them again)
Try to redownload the game through a different browser

If none of these work, there's a chance that your system might have some corrupted files, in which case you'll have to Windows specific tools to repair it (e.g.: SFC Scan)

A stupid question, apparently this game uses a 32-bit version of unity. It should be like that?

Yes, it was deployed that way, I thought this could increase compatibility for multiple systems (in most of the cases you can run 32x on 64x but not the opposite)

Hmm ok, i tried basically everything that should resolve that, i redownloaded C++ packages, checked the windows registry in case of disparency. Nothing. Weirdly enough i reckon that i think 0.1 version of the game worked fine on mine PC.

Is your system running 64-bit or 32-bit version of windows? Also which Windows are you using?

You can also try to download and install "x86 Visual C++ Redistributable" just in case, then restart your PC and retry the game.

Worst case scenario we also have a web version of here on newgrounds

windows 10 64-bit. I downloaded both 64 and 86 packages, i think 32 bit packages are not working on 64-bit windows yes?

x86 (32-bit) packages should work on 64-bit systems

but the opposite won't work (64-bit on 32-bit / 86x)

Can you confirm that you have "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x86)" present in Apps & Features ?
