Read crashes.txt if you have trouble running the game. (Ran out of time on that one)

It's a very short puzzle game where the aim is to fragment land masses into small islands.

Runs fine in Compatibility Mode, as mentioned in the txt file (I'm on Windows 7).

The direction of travel when you split an island is counterintuitive, and I thought something was broken at first. The puzzles are demonic!!! Great job on that.

Excellent touch on the seagulls. Too bad most everything else is so static. Add some music and sounds, some shiny animated sprites, and you've got a great casual puzzle game.

I get a black screen, but then it instantly quits

Worked fine after I compiled it in Linux.
Cool puzzle, needs more fiendishly difficult levels.

A very clever wee puzzle game. I liked that the controls initially felt a bit counter-intuitive.

Interesting take. Somehow the shoving with Shift feels as if it should work moving in the other direction.
Once I got that sorted it's a nice little game.
