Felt like I was lost in a maze. :)

I'm sorry you were not able to play the game. I am not sure what is going on with that. The only suggestion I can think of would be to make sure you unzip the file before playing, but I don't know if that was the source of your difficulties. I also made it on a Windows machine and do not know if it will play on a non-Windows machine.
Thank you for playing our game. I know the instructions were a bit long. I probably should have named it introduction instead. That's why it was so long. I was trying to give a little background to the game.
I also knew I should have made a sound for the boss collecting coins. I was going to add it in, but focused more on making sure the game functioned properly. I simply didn't have time to create the sound and add it in.
The spam clicking.. that was my version of work. I had it where the player had unlimited coins to add to the machine and it got boring very quickly. The work buttons off to the side added a little something to the game.
Best of luck in the jam. :)
This game was made by my children and I. They are teenagers and have found they really enjoy helping me with game jams. This is their third game jam they have participated in. My daughter did most of the artwork and my son did the sound effects. I put it all together through coding in C++ with Visual Sudios, SDL2, and SDL_Mixer. We hope you enjoy the game.
I am not upset with you on this. I am actually glad you took action. If it was a virus, I would have felt terrible for spreading it. It also turned this into a learning experience for me. I now have to figure out how to sign my work. I hope it is as simple as clicking a button, but I very highly doubt it will be. I also hope that others that are programming without a game engine will see this and learn from it as well. Getting booted from the game jam was disappointing, but I completely understand. Overall, the jam and learning more about the technology industry, a great experience.
Just wanted to post one more update to this situation. It has been bothering me that this file was corrupted, and yet scan after scan of my computer shows nothing. (I scanned with Webroot, Windows Defender, and Malwarebytes). After lots of searching on the topic, I discovered today that because I am programming in visual studio and the file is not signed, it will read as malware/virus. It is not. The file is actually clean. With many of these virus/malware scanners, if the file is not signed, it is automatically considered suspicious malware and sometimes labeled a Trojan.

I am sorry to inform anyone who was wanting to play my game or any that have played my game, this game somehow got infected with a Trojan Horse. I did a virus scan of my computer and the trojan was not found. I do not know where it came from. I have been removed from this game jam due to this unfortunate event. If you did download my game, please do a scan of your computer.
Here is a picture of the scan of my computer I just did only moments ago. I also scanned the file of the game on my computer and same result.
This is my game. I am sorry to any that has been affected by it. I promise it did not come from my computer. I just did a scan of my computer and it does not detect any trojen horse. I am saddened by this and saddened that I have been removed from this jam. :(
Here is a picture of the scan I did just five minutes ago of my computer.
I have been rating at least 5 games a day, and hoping not to have to ask for ratings for myself. But alas, we are in the final days and I am still three ratings short of that magical 20. I have rated over 75 games and will continue to rate more.
Will some kind folks out there please help me reach 20 ratings on my game?
