For anyone having dll issues when they install (this shouldn't happen if you are online) - We've had some feedback that installing this may fix it. Microsoft.com

Just read the article too haha. Good stuff.
For this interested: We got the Freeware Game Pick at diygamer.com
Diygamer.com
As far as reviewing the game, that would be cool :) Keep in mind that we have a 1.1 version coming soon though.

Looks awesome.

Sounds good

Pretty fun, half way through the levels at the moment.

Thanks for the feedback. Definitely agree about the default camera zoom - we'll fix that for the next one.
Many of the puzzles in the game are designed so that you can solve them anyway you want, and it's all about experimentation. Box surfing is a legit way of solving things if thats how you want to go about it, although the fun is in trying different methods. (You should try riding the gear through the whole thing haha). It was intended that puzzles were open and more sandbox.
As for the confusion, I think we will make the tutorial be played before doing the main game, as I've seen that it helps a lot. We will also be adding starts and ends to levels so it won't just be throwing you in there, so hopefully that will help people understand the objective better.
Thanks again for checking out the game

Unfortunately the download from the website is currently missing the readme file that is included with the one here. I'll see what I can do about getting the readme up as a seperate file to download. Hopefully you can figure most of the stuff out with the help of the tutorials :)

Thanks for the feedback Varsity - it's a shame to hear its not working so well for you.
With such a graphically detailed game, optomisation is something that we have had to struggle with throughout our production cycle. We've tried to maintain a balance between our artistic vision and getting the game to run smoothly - alas it doesn't always work out this way.
Your case is strange though, as we have been able to achieve decent frame rates (well above 30fps) on systems below your specs (mine being a prime example - I can run the game smoothly for the most part with amd64, gtx 7900 and 2gb of ram). Can you please message me your pc specs as I would like to pass this info onto our tech guys. Cheers

Seems like the download link isn't working at this stage - hopefully mirrors will open up soon! In the meantime you can check out our website pineapplefishstudios.com

just waiting for the authorisation.. *looks at watch impatiently* haha

Hey guys. Thanks for the feedback! Our download and news article are just awaiting authorisation - fingers crossed they'll be up soon so you can check it out.

looks great! awesome art style, looking forward to seeing more

this looks really fun, definitely going to download when i'm not capped

Cool game, more fun than i was expecting. Love the emergent elements in the gameplay - just being able to do stupid stuff in your own time ... until the ranger kills you (not that I'm resentful or anything). Love the art style, fits well with the theme. Keep it up

Great environment and interesting mechanics. Definitely agree that it's worth taking a look at.
