Nice work!  It compiles quite easily on windows with msys, gdc 0.24, and 
mingw make.  The only change to the makefile for building on windows is 
removal of "-ldl" at the end of two lines.  Maybe you can add another 
makefile to the repository for win32 (like Makefile.win.gdc or 
something) with these small changes?

I also tried "dsss build main.d" which successfully built an executable 
using dmd... but this binary exits with an exception while trying to 
load the font surface. I tried to debug this, but nothing seems to work.

The game play is quite difficult.  I like the graphics and sound but I 
can't progress very far. :-)
