Title: What should I use to open my download?

Okay... for starters I checked my E-mail and I haven't received a download link to the latest version of the game, is it only out for a select few or is something wrong?

I had to go back to my original Sendowl email to see that my downloads had been reset to the max, which indicated a new Alpha version.

I think Windows has been able to unzip compressed files since 7... right-click the .zip and choose "Extract All". If there is no option, get a free utility like 7zip or WinRar. I recommend 7zip, it's totally free whereas WinRar will bug you incessantly about buying a license after the trial period.

Winrar is good, you get a few popups but I don't notice them, and you are only using it once to open the game anyway.

I've been using 7zip for like forever but basically anything that decompresses .zip will do.
