Sorry About That...

I have been hearing from some people that they are unable to play our game from the download and I have been hearing also that they were able to. I am looking into this problem asap, I am sorry for the troubles it may have caused you but I guarantee that I will have it fixed by our final version of the game. I apologize again and I will try to get a working version/newer version up here before the end of the month.

Special Thanks,
