Hello there, this game does not run on a fresh install of Windows 10, as it has a dependency on libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll and libstdc++-6.dll. There is still some time to fix this I think, though that might come with a similar penalty as being late (https://itch.io/jam/4mb-jam-2023/topic/2893579/late-submissions-will-be-allowed-... )

Edit: If you can simply upload the .dlls (maybe as a separate download) there is no penalty at all. I spoke with Doigt. If these dlls are too big and push you above the limit, see if maybe you can compress them with UPX.

Thanks for the heads up I've added those files to the folder now in a downloadable, problem is I really don't have a good way of testing these sort of things, so thanks for informing me

Hi, so now that you added those two I get the message that libwinpthread-1.dll is missing as well. I tested myself and this is at least the last one that my PC needs, and it has a fairly fresh install of Windows 10, so I think it's safe to say that this is all. However, I've noticed that the game, including its dependencies, now exceed the 4MB limit. Thankfully those dlls, which are quite bloated, can be compressed with UPX. This puts the total size of the game under 4MB again, but you'll need to ship these compressed dlls yourself as the judges will not do this for you,

I've added the extra file now, if theirs anything else I need Just give me a heads up, unfortunately I cant seem to get UPX to run properly on windows 11 so I'll have to try compressing it some other way

Hi, in case no one told you yet, another member has provided the judges with a version of your game with the dlls compressed with UPX, so your game will be judged :)

Thanks for the heads up, I wasn't aware of the conversations surrounding my project its nice to know it will still be judged in some sense again it was just terribly hard to test for the missing files and dll files
