It's a early alpha to show what I've done so far. WEBSTART CURRENTLY BROKEN! To run it with windows, extract the zip and run mutants.exe (or mutants.jar).For linux users: just run mutants.jar, it should work.
Coming: - more Levels - more enemies - better sprites - DNA research to know what to update - upgrade system for you and your enemies - destroy one update by winning a minigame
I finally finished a post-compo. I added a score and health notice to the game, also music! It's a great 8 bit track from http://ozzed.net/music/8-bit-Empire.shtm I fixed an animationbug. Big thanks for helping me with this goes to my friend marco.
I'm sorry, I'll fix it asap. There will also a post-compo version for the ones who are interested what I really intended to do but wasn't able due lack of time (coming approx. the next few days).
Wasn't able to start the game (webstart was broken as you said) and I got the following error by running "java -jar mutants_run.jar":
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/se1by/Game/Game : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0 at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClassCond(ClassLoader.java:631) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:615) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:141) at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(URLClassLoader.java:283) at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$000(URLClassLoader.java:58) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:197) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247)
Well, there's not much gameplay here, but maybe you're onto something. If the monsters eat me, I can quit or return to game - that's kinda strange. Some indication that I'm killing the enemies would be nice (I didn't see any score counter and they just vanish). Highscore option doesn't seem to work (just a blank screen). Well - the game works, so it's not bad for an early alpha. Continue working on this, I'd like to see some post-compo version.
@marudziik: Thanks, it feels really good to know that some people care about the stuff you do, reading your post makes me really happy :) I will totally finish this game, even if it takes some time until everything is like I want. Just leave a comment here if you miss a feature or something like that, I'll see if I can implement it. Remember: I did it all for you ;) I finally uploaded a post-compo. It's compatible with java6 and got a few bugfixes and new features, even when I wasn't able to make it perfect in time. More updates will come - make sure to check this site from time to time.
I tried to run your game on Linux, but it didn't work.
Here is the error log:
java mutants.jar Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: mutants/jar Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: mutants.jar at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247) Could not find the main class: mutants.jar. Program will exit.

I'll upload a java6 version.
