The .love version works for me with my local version 11.2 on Ubuntu 18.04. The packaged version errors in my Windows 8.1 VM. Sounds like you may want to alternately package it with an earlier version - https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=86745. I'd be happy to retest since I'm also interested in love2d development.
Cool game and music. It's rewarding when you get a combo and bounce enemies off each other and off the screen.I bet people who play pool would be good at it.
