The player gets dropped into a cave, where he meets a peculiar man. The paradox of the situation becomes more and more clear the further you progress.

Journal note: I have not had time to keep a journal unfortunately, this is my first time competing so it was a bit tight, I have to make journal posts and a web version next time and improve the setup of my code. For now I have learned alot from this.
P.S. when downloading the zip, press the blue download button, not that crappy ad.
I think it's a clever idea. But got bored of that much repetition and stopped playing (couldn't get out of the fourth room, where you start again).
I didn't like that jump stops if you hit a wall (can't jump if you have a wall on your right and you're pressing 'D').
Also, if you try to go back to the previous room you can't get out (jail bars not working and you have to restart).

The game's alright. The lack of animation is a bit annoying but it's still decent.
I do imagine that if you were to add animation, sounds, background music and maybe a few more levels that it would increase the overall epicness of the game by a lot.
4 levels - a bit short, still nice! :D Yay 4 Java! Btw, you can include resources (images/sound/etc.) in the jar, just use "/Images/Button.png" for loading for example ;-)
Seems to crash: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at Graphics.Level.createLevel(Level.java:44) at Graphics.Level.<init>(Level.java:33) at Game.Game.<init>(Game.java:37) at Game.Game.main(Game.java:198)
At first I had trouble getting the game to work (Windows 7 64 bit) but starting it via the console helped. I liked how the old man accompanied you on your journey but it doesn't go with the theme.
