WOW This game is awesome, almost everything is perfect (music, level design, graphics, mechanichs) but one thing.

Although the game is incredible, Its really difficult to play it (meaning that you get an error saying that OpenAl32.dll was not found). This can easily scare away people from play testing your game. Because they just see a broken game, and say "I cant play it. Well, on to the next one". I dont know why you have this issue, but my advice is changing either the "In what way does your game fit the theme?" or "Did you write most of the code...?" to say below something like:

--------------IMPORTANT-----------------

If you get an error saying that OpenAl32.dll was not found, then go to the troubleshooting folder and run the .exe. This should fix the issue.


because if you write a comment in your own page, it could easily be drowend by other comments and not be seen. If instead you change this post (and your game post), people will see how to fix the problem on first try, and be able to enjoy this awesome game. 

In order to get more rates,try doing any of these 3:

1) Host a Rate4Rate and keep it active (you have to comment a post on people who leave their games there, to keep your Rate4Rate above from others. Obviously after you play their games, dont be mean). A nice Idea is prioritizing playing games that comment your game instead of the post (to make sure they play your game) and make that clear.

2) Take part in a Rate4Rate, this depends a lot on luck, but it can help.

3) go to submissions, select most karma, rate those games, and ask them to play yours. Those are the people who rated most games, so if you ask them IN THEIR OWN GAME, its really likely that they will take some of their time to check out your game (at least I do that :D).


Overall, This is a PERFECT game and deserves WAY MORE LOVE than it currently has. Incredible Job :D

Glad you enjoyed the game so much!

I know about the error, and it's freaking me out a bit because it will turn some people off. I'm SOO glad we included the troubleshooting folder. If we could update the game we could fix the issue, but we can't. So I already tried putting the note about the error everywhere, but thanks for your feedback. I've now included it on the submission page.

I also appreciate your tips for getting more ratings.

We already started a rate4rate thread, but I guess I need to comment on it to push it onto the top. We already replied to everyone who posted there.

I took part in a few rate4rate threads, and I'll take part in a few more. Mostly commenting on active threads and leaving detailed feedback on their games works well, it just takes a lot of time.

I didn't know this about karma. So thanks for the tip!

Thanks for playing!
