Bugs as of Pre-Release Pre-Alpha Test:

• If you try to go outside of the map, you get an error
  

Microsoft Xna Redistributable:
You need this in order to run my game. I don't know why it does that, I find it very stupid you need it.
Once you install it, you won't need to install it again.

Author's Notes

Let me know any bugs or what I could improve on or add.

If you ever have questions, I've already set up pretty much everything a 2D game needs in XNA (sprite sheets, animation, scrolling, physics, collisions, particles, menus, savegames, sound, advanced input, etc.)

I'm jealous of your willingness to learn new programming stuff =/

Anyways added a new download link in case anyone couldn't get it to run before.

EDIT: Added the right redistributable.

*Legal Bump*
Okay I added a different link for the Redistributable in case anyone had troubles with it before. So re-download it if you couldn't get the redist to run before.
