The character is invisible. I can move around, but I can't see the character. 

it's not jsut the character, every object except for background and level walls are invisible.
like the sand blocks, the coins, everything is invisible.

Also the 1.1 version zip file is jsut empty, only the 1.0 version has something to run (after I had to install some dot net whatever thing)

Woah, never seen that bug before. What are the specs of the system you're running on? Might be some compatibility thing.

Also sorry about the missing 1.1 version, should be fixed now.

I have a 2015 Toshiba Notebook, running windows 10 on it

Gotcha, thanks. A few others have reported the same issue. I'm making this in a new custom engine I'm working on, so must be some issue with that. I'll investigate over the weekend and let you know if I can find a solution.

Hey, finally figured out what was going on here. Turns out it was the system language setting. Just updated version 1.1 with a fix. Let me know if it works!

It's a school notebook, but I can't imagine that that type of game doesn't work on it.
