[–] petee 5y ago ↗ The pdf is only like 150, so you'd have to own a real potato to crash it.I haven't had a chance to try on a computer, but my phone will open it, albeit minus the interactivity. Looks pretty [–] MR4D 5y ago ↗ It’s a 96MB zip file. You mean it only compressed to 2/4 of its original size? [–] Lucas-C 5y ago ↗ 189M reduced to 93M yes. But the PDF internal page streams are already compressed, which explain the limited effect of ZIP-compressing it. [–] Lucas-C 5y ago ↗ The game was made to run on Sumatra PDF Reader. It won't work on Adobe Acrobat Reader. Apart from that, it should run fine on most computers, as Sumatra is very memory efficient!
