Is it possible to compile as a single executable, without needing an installer?

I do not know what the 'right sequence' is and cannot seem to find any hit as to what it might be.

I am sorry, my comment meant was for another game, I typed it in here by accident.

I am actually installing your game right now, which sucks, why did you not just pack it in a zip or create a single executable to run? Now it takes ages downloading some DirectX libs from 2006 with my slow internet connection...

OK so I installed it. The music is terrible but that is of course my opinion, tastes vary.
As for the gameplay, I do not know what is what or why pushing a shaky box out the right edge of the screen makes some shaky light appear. I am missing a tutorial, you could have given a better explaination in plain text, which is OK for a game jam.
The background art looks nice.

A really cool mechanic! I think the gameplay has some real potential. Didn't have any problem figuring out that I had to get the light to the door--seemed like the first level was enough tutorial, and I'm glad it didn't have text.

The graphic style is interesting. Could use some polish, but I like that direction. The music is a bit lacking.

The collision with the mirrors (I'm assuming they're mirrors?) is a bit wonky and it's annoying that I can't reset levels (I got mirrors stuck on each other and couldn't progress at one point), but overall I really enjoyed the concept. Good job!
