Thank you for the feedback! I did not expect this game to be received well at all - as you say, it is complex and has no tutorial. Did you manage to get the car running (into a wall)?
If the save file does not work, make sure you rename it to save_0.toml or any number up to 4 - otherwise the game won't detect it.

You are correct, it does not launch on Ubuntu 18.04 as the glibc version on your system is very likely 2.27. I've now compiled against an earlier version and confirmed it to run successfully on a brand new 18.04.4 VM. The updated file is now available on itch.

For the windows version, make sure to unpack the whole zip file before attempting to launch, and ensure that the working directory is the same as the folder which contains the resources folder and the app itself. Directly double clicking the unpacked exe should do the right thing, though.

Interestingly enough, the windows version (Wizard of Dzap.exe) does work in wine for me. Maybe the developer can help you here? I don't have a graphics-capable windows instance around atm.

True, the tutorial is basically comprised of the example file ;) If you want to fiddle with it: Click components in the list onto ports in the "hood". Blue is input, Orange is output. Connect them by clicking each of the ports.

There is no objective and no real point to the game other than me having a bit of fun coding it :)

Good news/bad news situation here. The Linux version works ;) (Wizard of Dzap.x86_64) in the zip file. Web version also does not work for me.

I'd really like to explore these levels a bit further, but I'd say the controls don't feel "right" just yet. Is it just me or do they feel a bit spongy?
