The screen is just blank after the strips.

Mine also just blanks after the intro strips. Running windows 7 64 bit.

I also get a blank screen after the intro. Widnows 10, 64-bit. I tried a lot of graphic option combinations as well just in case. No go either windowed or fullscreen.

I'll write this down and check in on it again later to see if it's working :)

Thanks for making me aware of the problem. There was an issue with Unity reading text files after being built. The newly uploaded builds should work.

Cute game! I love the little story it tells as you're playing it, and the graphic when you crush the little guys is awful :(

Yes, the Windows build is working now! Nice mechanic, I enjoyed it, thanks for making it :) The story images are very low-resolution.

I really liked this!
I especially liked that you gave your game a little story. It was fun and didn't get in the way of the gameplay at all.
I also liked some of the small details, like the people having a parachute when they fell.
I wished the people moved a bit faster. Other than that, had a really great time.

Oh, yay, it's working now! Thanks for fixing it ^.^

Cute game. Reminds me in some ways of Lemmings, which is never a bad thing ;) Nice work.

This is the coolest idea ever, you need to make an improved, full version of this game.

Some challenging puzzles that took a few attempts, and good work on putting an illustrated story in there. Had a small issue with the rock crushing people when they were pushing it along the ground.

Very interesting. The level design was very creative.

The game idea is pretty good, and puzzles and level design for teaching the mechanics pretty interesting. Loving the storyline and its sense of humor, but also missing some music/sfx for making the game more enjoyable. Good work!!

Loved the concept and a good number of levels. Destroying the brown blocks in the final level seemed a bit buggy.
