Thanks, mieze! I will try and fix these errors in the next release. Any suggestions on what fonts to use?

Seems like it works in Gnu/Linux. The image files have case errors. The file suffixes are sometimes uppercase (*.PNG) while the game searches for names in lower case. The arial font has a proprietary license. Unless You have the right to distribute it, use another one. Keep it up!

Woops, there's some stone in the screen. Just know that that is not actually in yet, just in the current development.

@eternalcheesecake: Though trolling through and asking everyone to put up screenshots is not the best policy, I agree with the reasoning. So, here's a screenshot.

@danielpetri: It only works with 2.5+ right now, not with 3.x. Send me the error and I might be able to help.
