deadweight is a puzzle-platformer which revolves around a boy taking his narcoleptic sister on a day out. on the way they encounter gratuitously dangerous situations which would make a personal accident lawyer salivate.
you will need an up to date version of java jre for your platform. note that only windows has been tested by me, but linux and os-x /should/ work out of the box.
windows users should just double click the .jar, posix-ish platforms may need to run 'java -jar deadweight.jar' or something.
software used: - libgdx (inc. box2d) - fireworks for graphics - fruityloops for music - sfxr for sound fx - eclipse for ide
The game crashed as I was finishing level 3. I'll come back to it later, but it was too finicky to finish the levels the first time to do it again right now.
I have one sound-related crash bug fixed. I feel there's another one lurking that I can only reproduce on my gf's machine -- more investigation needed.
Yeah, I also had the game crash after plating for a little while. Cure idea though. From the little bit I got to play there was some good physics based puzzling potential.
Have no Java at home (yay, I intend it to stay that way) and in the office OpenAL32.dll is blocked due to PAK_Generic.001 (they obviously put some stupid compression in there). Sorry.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
Amazing work for only 16 hours! Way to go!
Didn't have any crashing issues, so not sure why everybody else is struggling...
