#132I've just bought and played through my first hour or so. I loved it! What a great game. Some parts were quite difficult (spiked floor section) but nothing insurmountable. Small thing that got me a few times - I have multiple monitors and moving the mouse too much to the left and clicking resulted in the game minimizing.

I don't have it in me anymore to chase that. But, if anyone else wants to fix things up, the engine and game are OSS.
This game looks super exciting! Unfortunately, I have a mac : So, I install sbcl, installed quicklisp and then used quicklisp to install your game after cloning and cc'ing into your directory. It looks like your game would work if you (or someone) looked into why your "Harmony" sound engine isn't working (line 28-29 in your package.lisp file). I attempted to load from your github/Harmony directory and this is the err…
