Hm… DLL errors are hard from my end. There’s a whole lot that could’ve went wrong and I both have very little familiarity with Windows and create the Windows binary in Wine. And there’s always the possibility that cx_Freeze or Pygame is at fault, which I have no idea how to test. I kinda wish PyInstaller worked in Wine, that seems in general to work way more easily. :/
Regarding this problem for you specifically, I think my best suggestion is if you still have this after making sure you have the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable runtime installed, just run the game from source code instead. To do this, you’ll have to install the latest version of Python, download the ReTux source code, run the following command in Command Prompt (you may need administrator privileges for this step):
python -m pip install pygame sge uniseg xsge_gui xsge_gui xsge_lighting xsge_path xsge_physics xsge_tiled
More broadly, we’ll look into our freezing methods when we release a new ReTux update soon. Maybe it’ll produce a Windows binary that works better.
