For anyone wanting to play on Windows (or super-safely on other platforms), if you have Docker installed, simply run this:
docker run -it --rm jimbly/maartene-embers-escape
For reference, it's just a 3-line Dockerfile:
| FROM ubuntu:latest COPY DCJam2026-linux-x86_64 . CMD ./DCJam2026-linux-x86_64 |
Seems to work fine on Windows!
