Why does this game, when starting it, tells me it ''needs'' the (Windows) 'Direct Play' program installed ? But, if I just click 'cancel', I can play the game fine ? This looks slightly suspicious.

It's cause the game was made with GameMaker 7, and Windows 10 thinks it needs DirectPlay to make the game run properly on the newer operating system. You don't need it to play the game though.

I'm hoping to release a version of the game built in GameMaker Studio 2, so that will stop happening, and to make other things better too.
