Quite a lot of fun! Nice and addictive, gives a feeling of "just one more game" - just like I like it.

The game play feels very smooth! It got a little stressful there after a while

It's quite a challenge! I really like the gameplay :)

Hey, tried to run the game from binary, but it said

chickadee/config.scm:46:7: In procedure dynamic-link*:
could not find library ("libmpg123")

…alhough I do have

$  ls -al /usr/lib64/libmpg123.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 апр 29 12:36 /usr/lib/libmpg123.so -> libmpg123.so.0.47.0

Tried to run from source (I have Guix PM on top of Gentoo stable distribution), but unfortunately it failed as well:

Which version of mpg123 does the binary expect? I might try some VMs.

Developer

What distro and version are you using? The bundle has all the libs packed within it and the launcher script sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly, so a failure to a link to a library suggests there's some incompatibility.

Submitted(+1)

That’d be Gentoo stable. Yeah I see the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set in the script. This is truly weird.

I’ve tried Ubuntu 22.04 VM and it is even weirder, I got the similar traceback, but for libpng: https://pastebin.com/E9QgHJ3W

Developer(+1)

Strange! I tested on Ubuntu 20.04 so I'd expect the situation to be better on 22.04. Ugh! Well, thank you for trying all this! I'll have to try for myself in a VM and see if I can reproduce.

Submitted(+1)

At last, I’ve read the fine manual and managed to compile the game from source using guix shell (quite nice tool, might want to learn it myself).

Loved the visual style and fast-pacedness of the game! Although it might be a bit too hard for my flabby reflexes 😅

This is really fun! But boy is it hard!

Submitted(+1)

It’s really creative and happens to be very addictive! It’s really difficult! Good job.
