Yeah, so instead of making you do dangerous changes to your system, I'll just give you an EXE build:

Here you go. Try this out for size.

Wherever this ends up going, I'm going to bear witness to it.

Okay, I think I found out why it doesn't work for some people. Follow these instructions and try again. It should work now.

EDIT: Wait, those aren't instructions at all. Lemme find a better link.
Java is weird that way. Unlike what you would expect out of a sane program, it doesn't add itself to the PATH on Windows. I don't think Python did, either. Curious.

Is probably why I'm using Linux for all non-C++ coding.

Writing this straight from the first alpha release (ie Vector's post) [...And via the .exe that McFry released]

The game, in itself, is amazing. Music, gameplay, and other effects. I'd argue on the repetitiveness on some events but that'd not be a good basis for quite anything in regard to how the dungeon layout is set: the intro and the many, many references--subtle or not--to authors, quotations, sayings and...probably historical data (I've seen a few but am unsure) add a nice touch to it.

Now here are tiny notes I saw.
Spoiler: Some stuffs (click to show/hide)
You have two set-ups. The world-view and the battle-view. In both, you may manipulate your characters/party formation as you will.

Other than copy what is said in this nice guide here, it is to be noted that you may edit your party any time in game--more apparent in the battle-view, but in world-view, just press "x" to begin selecting any of the six icons to edit your party, and "z" to return.
(I find the controls similar to...well, Mardek, of all games I remember. The z and x buttons, specifically. :P)
Note that there is a highlighted area in the world-view, denoted by a lighter shade of white around an icon. Movement occurs when the map is highlighted.
Spoiler: Queries (click to show/hide)

Also I find it extremely funny that you could taunt a skeleton to death. xD

I like the game even though I really hate JRPGs and that kind of turn-based combat. For what it is, a short and simple minimalist thingy, it is excellent. Game of the Year. (3/10)

do u have jaaaaaavaaaaaaaa?


...Unless an instruction list was added later on?

Nope!  Part of playing this game is learning how it works, in some respects.

...Also is there any way to unequip items from a character? I have no idea how to switch the...viewpoint in the world-view on the character in question (or how to unequip them :x)

Not really.  There's no functional reason to; if you need to swap armor on someone who has armor, just give them whatever's in your inventory, and what they're wearing will appear in its place.

What do those blank...squares below each character's health bar denote?

Stress! :D

Why can

:?

I do indeed have Java. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, if I remember correctly.

Why can

I don't even my keyboard. :v
I was going to ask why there wasn't seemingly an option of saving the game?

Are you clicking the right icon? :P

Blargh. There goes my first set of plate mail. On my Hunter. xD
Thanks though!

I'm clicking "ld50". It makes the loading cursor appear for a fraction of a second, but nothing else happens. It doesn't even show up as an app, or increase the number of background processes.

Odd, since it even has the Java icon.

Fake-Edit: Oh, you're supposed to click "start".

Start with 3 priests and 1 bandit.  Easy mode?  (Maybe force the RNG to make parties more diverse?)  That is if you are gonna update it.
