Also, to anyone running into the dll issue, while I'm not perfectly in touch with tech to know the exact fix you might need, I was taught a bootleg fix by someone a few years ago. (If I could thank them directly again, I absolutely would, but I can't for the life of me remember what game the fix was for. I think it was Buzama...?)

Instead of downloading the C++ files directly, what you can do is download this game above, The Legend of Jump Jump, that's also made in Pixel Game Maker MV. It will allow you to play this and any other game in PGMMV in the future, because the problem shows up in all of them if it shows up in one. When you run the installer for Jump Jump, it'll automatically check if you have the C++ files it needs to run and install/update them if it can't run. It's super useful and kinda strange how no one else has done it, but eh. It is what it is. Anyway, the files it'll install or update are the same ones needed to run any other game in the same engine, so you should never run into this specific issue again after you download it. Just to be safe, however, make sure to check your computer and see if you have any C++ Redistributables (look up C++ in your installed apps) and delete them if they're already installed on your computer. Many times, they'll try and stack instead of updating properly, so it's safer to just delete the entire thing and reinstall it through this. You can safely delete Jump Jump after it has installed without losing the newly installed C++ files, but it is a fun game, so you should try it anyway.
Best of luck to all of you, and I do apologize if at some point in the future this stops working.
EDIT: Here's a more reliable fix, as this C++ package is consistently updated. It should download everything all at once that you need, have needed, and will need, and in case that changes, new versions will ensure you have all the bells and whistles required. Still follow the same steps as above, just replace all steps relating to Jump Jump with installing this package.
