It's not working. The game launches but after ican only move the white round thing, press a button to make it green but after ican't move any piece. Nothin reacts.
Also, it moves too fast, it's hard to control :/

It works on Linux using wine for me, but I couldn't really try it out due to the controls. Some basic key mapping and the possibility to play on one keyboard would really help. Btw, 135MiB for a jam game is quite a lot.
