    I would really like to see a release on the windows store!

    it could expand the playerbase to people who may be security concious or have windows 10 S (it cant run .exe files)

    It could also be pre-installed instead of having to press CTRL+I

    We're going to be distributing on Steam. Users should be able to install and launch the game from Steam as a good workaround. As of right now, there's test runs going on and our goal is to release by the next version

    However, Steam is not usable on devices with windows 10 s or S mode on them.

    Windows 10 S devices cannot run .exe files or third party apps, and can only run Windows store apps.

    Steam isn't availible on there, and according to Techquickie, it probably wont be anytime soon.

    Even on full featured windows 10 devices, every time you try to run it it still whines about it being a "virus" even though I have installed it multiple times

     I don't think the popularity won't be like, 1000000 because it is a falling sand game, but good luck!

    Did not realize that hmm. We'll take that into consideration. There has to be justifiable demand in the store for us to take the time, since there's a licensing fee and certification process involved. This is the first time anyone has brought the issue up
