Nice work lads! We also did a very original too, ye mid check it out?

Very interesting little game. Certainly unique.

Crashes instantly when I try to run it unfortunately.

@Vinterskog, thanks for reporting the error. Unfortunately, I don't have a ready solution for you.

I've gotten a few reports of crashes, but no specifics about why they might be happening. The main error reporting method I have are the game log files, which aren't being created since the game isn't starting properly. (The log should be called `FallingRooms.log` and be located in the same directory as the executable.)

My machine was running Windows 10 Pro (Version 1709, Build 16299) when I built the game. I'm curious if there's a version discrepancy or if I'm failing to include all the necessary DLLs. If you notice any useful error messages, those would be a great help.

This is one of the better games I checked out. I'm a huge fan of Tetris, and this is a very creative idea. I'm assuming the two genres are rogue-like and arcade puzzling. Never thought I would see a game this clever.

I was really excited to play this, but it crashes at start for me too. No log gets generated. Windows 8 64-bit. I suspect a missing .dll, since there are none at all.

This is actually a really great concept. Make a version that's much more polished and less glitchy and I think it could be phenomenal.

Thanks @bryyrt and @WojWorks. It's good to hear that the idea is good.

My original concept had to be chopped down to a minimum viable product due to time (that's what I get for picking a lofty goal), but I'm glad I was able to deliver something playable. The original idea was to combine Tetris and a rogue-like, so yes @byyrt, you assumed correctly.

It is a cool concept that would be fun to finish (adding in more rogue-like elements, etc). I make no promises, but Lua gave me a hard enough time this weekend that I might just take a second stab at it using the knowledge I gained.

Thanks again for the encouragement.

@incobalt, thanks for helping me debug this problem. I don't have a solution yet, but this gives me something to work on.

I tried getting a Win 8.1 VM installed, but it's not running for some reason. I'll have to troubleshoot why that is so I can try to duplicate the problem you're seeing.

It's always annoying when you see a game you like the look of but can't play it because of some incompatibility. Also, as a result, I miss out on any feedback you might have had, so it's a loss for both of us. Sorry that the game isn't working for you yet.

Very cool concept, shame about the bug with the S key, but doesn't ruin the game

Win 7 user here, crashes too. Managed to get a stack trace with a debugger, not sure if it's of any use:

FallingRooms.exe caused an Illegal Instruction at location 0000000000D87CFF in module FallingRooms.exe.
