Once again, you can just run love somegame.exe on Linux, no wine necessary.

Thanks Robin and S0lll0s for the hints on how to run the game. I'll try to remember it this time :D. Running love game.exe works like a charm!

Ok, sorry VladTheCat, for derailing your thread. Back on topic:

This game is great! I love how, with just two colors, you manage to make everything very recognizable - I had no trouble figuring out what's what, even though there's quite a bit going on on the screen.
Couple of remarks:
  • A "Tutorial" button might be great, to restart the tutorial. I quit the game to enable sound and couldn't reatart the tutorial.
  • I loved trying to figure out what the various disk-types do - well done on that!
  • Recovering the disk is really, really hard. :P Also, for me, the disk seems to move more like a boomerang than the boomerang does...?
  • I didn't get what the different types of buffs do. What's the difference between the shield and the "s"?
  • Minor thing: Löve supports threadding, so it might be nice to thread the scoreboard calls, as otherwise there's a short hang on the game.
    If that's too much work (I admit it is, but Löve's threadding is really great, so I suggest you look into it) then maybe at least display an "uploading" _before_ actually uploading the data (same for downloading).

Oh, I seem to have missed that. Same principle as stripping the .love off by hand though I guess.

You can remove "NotFirstPlay" file from game folder to restart tutorial.

"S" = "Skill". It's not save you from damage.
To fast return of disk you can use RMB. Your skillbar (right from healthbar) will empty. It has slow regeneration, and "S"-buff will increase speed of regenerating.
Minor thing: Löve supports threadding, so it might be nice to thread the scoreboard calls, as otherwise there's a short hang on the game.

I know, threading is great, but now it's hard for me.

PS: Sorry for my english, i have some problems with it :D
