I can't finish the very first battle for some reasons. Guns don't work but I killed eveyrone with ram and don't know what to do after this. Unfortunately readme in game doesn't help me.

Developer

Thanks for contacting me via the Discord (https://t.co/VVRd14Nb3P for those interested!).  It seems like you ended up with a weirdly broken build (your first encounter was a completely empty map with no exits).  I've successfully tested a version by extracting directly from the zip file on this page as you described, but for the least hassle I recommend the Itch.io app (https://itch.io/app) for installation and patching of the game.  It handles installs and upgrade patches really smoothly and don't worry, you don't need to keep it resident like Steam!

Everyone:  Please let me know either here or on the Discord if you run into a similar problem!  I'd like to deal with it as completely as possible.

More Discord conversation later and there's a possibility that a Russian-language computer might be the culprit.  I'm going to see what I can do.

It turns out that on a Russian-language computer all the numbers in my datafiles were being smashed to zero, so weapons had a range of zero, the map was empty, etc.  I hadn't completely made my file reading language-independent, lesson learned!  Fix found, should be handled in the next build.  Thanks to Drugon for trying so many possible solutions in one night!

Check out the new version.  It should use a language-agnostic method of reading in numbers, which I believe should solve the Russian computer issues.
