I played through it and got 70%.

I enjoyed it and only got mildly frustrated at times :p

Very fun, though a bit QWOP/Getting Over It in places. I got 15/15 and all 3 big stars on every level, but it still said only 97% complete when I finished the last level. Very strange.

I wonder if it's because I got one of my missing big stars and exited a level without re-completing it, or if I didn't hit a save point after getting my last star, or if there's some other secret I missed. All the levels are sparkling on the overworld.

For some reason I can't install it with the itch App, why is that?

I've never used the Itch App so I don't know. This would be for Win10, right?

Yes, Windows 10, but Idon't think it has anything to do with the operational system.

In the second picture it should be the game to install. Instalează means intall, in my language. But there is nothing to choose from.

And then in the first picture is the error I get after clicking install. It says "There has not been found any upload compatible with this title".Stumblehill by Hempuli (2)Stumblehill by Hempuli (3)

Ireally enjoyed the game over all. Poor Ecki went through most of it on his poor face, but he made it!

Hey! Just a heads up, when I try to launch via the client, I getthe error message "cannot create subdirectory in temporary directory". Ican only launch the game directly from the executable file. Nice job so far though!

Ah, that's good to know! Not sure what I can do about it, though...

Experience the adventures of a stumbly bumbly penguin called Ecki as they embark on an epic adventure of self discovery and falling over.

It's mostly falling over...

This Itch Dot Io Indie is as cute as it is massively challenging and its bloody heckin' cute!

Recommendations for future builds would be to incorporate gamepad support and also a timer (the former being for improved accessibility and the latter being for the truly insane speedrun nuts that are sure to gravitate to this beautifully difficult game)

A brilliant exploration of the concept of not locking your "Z" rotation!

What OS are you playing on? Which folder did you unzip the game into?

Reply

rotopenguin5 years ago (1 edit)

Win 10 1809.I let the Itch.io client handle the install, it has the sandbox turned on.So, it goes under Appdata/roaming/itch/apps/

Ah, went to the folder and the exe launched fine. So Itch’s attempt tolaunch as a constrained user is at fault?

That's probably it. Darn, I wonder whatI could do about this...
