'The Gourd Of Water' is a side scrolling, desert survival adventure. With the last of your water supply hanging about your waist, you must trek through the desert heat in search of fresh water. The key will be pacing yourself and rationing your one gourd of water less you die, lost in the sand.
This game was developed by students of Southampton Solent Univeristy.

Hi there, thanks for checking out the game. You may be wondering why you can't download it... truth be told I don't know either but I know you can download it if you go here...
Overall this was an okay application. I don't want to use the term 'game' because gameplay was very limited. The only interaction I had to do was move right, jump once, move right while pushing the R key every once in a while. Not very interesting for a game.
The story it told, however, was a powerful one. I really felt regret that I couldn't help the villagers of the desolate town.
The graphics and audio were beautiful. There were many graphical issues throughout, but the artwork was fantastic. The music and sound also suffered from issues, such as starting near the end of the game, but I liked it while it was playing.
To summarize, it was great as a story but poor as an actual game. I've always felt the gameplay should come first, as games have been enjoyed without stories for centuries. At their core, games should be fun to play. Nevertheless, nicely done on all of your achievements!
X-0r, the problem is that the version of the exe we submitted is the debug one as we had bally hell getting the release version installer to work (the debug version requires that .dll from visual studio). All you need to do is get the .dll your error mentions here...
