I DID make it in the 28th Ludum Dare compo though!

In the contents should be an app called _AsteroidMiner.app_ -- just open it up, and away you go!\r\n\r\n### Windows (win64 and win32)\r\n\r\nDownload and extract the appropriate zip file. The contents will be a folder that contain all the required DLL's and an executable _AsteroidMiner.exe_. Open up the exe, and enjoy!\r\n\r\nNOTE: I do not have a windows machine to test these, so please leave a comment if you are experiencing problems -- or, alternatively, install Love2D and just open the .love download with it)\r\n\r\n## Linux\r\n\r\nSorry, but Love2D games don't have a simple way to be packaged as a single file (yet). All hope is not lost though! Love2D games are perfectly playable on many Linux distro's -- just install Love2D, then use it to run the .love file download.\r\n\r\nHere's a quick overview of the process for Ubuntu:\r\n\r\n1. Add this PPA: ppa:bartbes\/love-stable\r\n2. Update your sources\r\n3. Install 'love'\r\n\r\nMore information can be found on the Love2D homepage: https:\/\/love2d.org\r\n\r\n\r\n","title":"Asteroid Miner"}
