Can't run because I'm missing XINPUT1_3.dll - will try on another machine but maybe this is a common problem?

When I try to open the downloaded ZIP file in windows explorer I get the message "The compressed folder is invalid".

Did not know what to do, just kept walking on the maze, just one question, it was made on the Unreal Engine 4 ?

It looks like the archive is corrupted.

goffmog: I think XINPUT is needed for game to run / controller support.

SomeGreenGoo: Sometimes chrome blocks the file, go to downloads tab and click on "Keep", I'll try and upload a *.7z

Hyoga-3D: yes it was made in UE4. Also, you need to go around and find the key and then use to to unlock the door.

I think your server is aborting the connection early or something - I have tried three times to download, one is 12MB, 22MB and 30MB - despite the expected size to be 35MB.

Seems glitchy, I kept walking off the edges, getting black screens or flipping my screen. No idea how the color changing or firing mechanics worked after 5-8 minutes of play. Here's a video where you can watch some glitches and my thoughts [1:30]

Damn, thanks for the update though. I've now switched to Google Drive.

Hey,that website seems to be having some trouble. Perhaps put it up on dropbox/google drive/ that one with the .go or something.

Ahh, upon refreshing, all was well.

I managed to get atop the walls so I cheated a little :P. I like the Tron-like style, nice work on making all the veins glow!

I was able to run it, zip seems to be fine. Was a little confused on what to do exactly.
Screen kept getting rotated, screen went black, fell off the edge, died from halos :)

I was unable to change colors, not exactly sure why, so I didn't get to test the game really, I just wandered a bit in the green maze. I like the style of the maze and the music, but hard to judge the gameplay here.

A bit difficult to navigate, slightly leaning more towards frustrating than challenging for me. Perhaps just because its difficult to get your bearings even when the camera is upright. Excellent style.
But its got some really cool mechanics, looks great and I liked the soundtrack!

The game isn't running because some dll is missing
I think it's visual studio redistributable ; you should've included it in the zip

Very pretty game. The controls seemed to glitch out on me, like I would get pulled up into a wall and forward would move me backwards and such. Loved the aesthetics of the game though!

I'm not sure I'm encountering a bug, but some times, when I move throught the maze, I got some kind of black screen. Sometimes I can unstuck, sometimes I can't.

The "bugs" are actually traps / obstacles :D

I did not really know what to do. Can you maybe enhance the description, so we know better what is happening?

Oh my good... inspiring screens but does not run... I'll try to install directx and xna

Can't fairly vote as it doesn't run very good on my machine. I thought decent engines like UE would adapt.
