Flathub is a project that tries to simplify how users install programs on linux-based systems, it's effectively a software "store" or "repo" that works on any distribution.

I've packaged the game and tested it on my system, so far it's working fine. I want to upload it to make it available for everyone, but I'd like to ask for your consent first.

I'll do all the work myself and you won't need to do anything. However, if you want we'll give you access to the flathub repository on github so that you can control how the game appears to people, publish new versions or even remove it if you so wish.

You should.

On launch I get this message:

Then when I start the game from the menu, I get this error:

The game is unplayable this way. I have got a working snap from snapcraft.io, so I'm not affected personally. But I'd like to learn more about it.

A couple of left / right arrows in the level selection screen, as in the How to play screen, would make it more obvious that you are expected to press the arrow keys to select a level.

My nephew (12yo) was surprised when I selected another level. He did not even try. His videogames lock additional levels until you kill a boss, so they do have a level selection screen, with scrolling disabled. He saw the left / right arrows in the How to play screen, and the rightward arrow in the main and Options screens. From the lack of arrows in the level selection screen, he inferred that additional levels would have to be unlocked first.

On related note, I would like to suggest replacing

slam, AnAL and TSerial are not covered by the Mr. Resccue license. Please see the files of equivalent basename for license information. All other source code for Mr. Rescue is licensed under the zlib licence included below.

so packagers unfamiliar with the libraries know immediately where to look.

Thanks!

Not sure how to trigger the crash but I had one when in the settings and changing fullscreen, saying the game called toggleFullscreen which does not exists.
I did not get the crash again when retrying to change fullscreen mode.

Maybe it was linked to having a config file from a previous version of mrrescue or something.

But there is indeed a call to toggleFullscreen in options.lua which does not seem to exists.

You are able to jump while play dying animation due to reuse of variable and Player:action/Player:jump not checking player state.

Hi all,
Just came to know the game from the debian-devel-games archive mailing list. There seems to be no mention about what the game is about. Perhaps a README.md file maybe good as it can tell what the game is about.

The README could also have instructions as to how to package it (zip it) so it's .love file and can be played via the love interpretor.

Manjaro Linux 3.18.20-1
Microsoft Wireless Desktop 800
mrrescue source code cloned with git

When I start up the game, just after the main menu comes up, the keyboard seems to be possessed and the left arrow keep rolling up non-stop forever.

This is the situation ( i made a GIF )

When I unplug the keyboard It stops rolling but I tried different USB ports, with no luck, same result, keep rolling.

EDIT: As a bug test comparison, I also tried to run Sienna and worked perfectly, no problem at all. So, maybe the problem is up to Mr. Rescue.

Please upgrade Mr Rescue to Love 0.10 so I can upgrade the Debian package. It appears you have a pull request with some patches for this. I assume they'll need proper testing to ensure those minor changes are all that's needed.

Most of the captains dialogs are simply placeholders.
