Crobal and friends is a story about a friendly monster who wants to play with people from the village. Unfortunately his big feet and slow mind get in the way of his friend-making, and the villagers often think he's just being a bully.

Due to some unforeseen issues, I'm having trouble getting the applet to work. In the mean time you can download the all systems pack and run the game from there.
Bugfixes for these issues are incoming.

Windows and Mac users, can you please tell me in the comments below if you can get the game running or not?
A Mac user reported having problems running the .app and some Linux and Windows user reported bugs with their respective executables and even the .jar files. I don't know what's causing this issue, it's my first time deploying a Java application, and I'm not sure what I can do to fix this, especially since I don't have a faulty machine to test on. if anyone has some bright ideas, I'm all ears!

Post-compo bugfixes: - Fixed an issue where the game would end prematurely
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: gd/xi/framework/main/GameStandalone : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0 [...] Could not find the main class: gd.xi.framework.main.GameStandalone. Program will exit.
I don't know that was probably the greatest game ever. .. maybe more gameplay but, the idea was great well executed - I guess it didn't really need game play.
Wish I could play this :( Get an error on Windows7:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: gd/xi/framework/main/GameStandalone : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0 [...] Could not find the main class: gd.xi.framework.main.GameStandalone. Program will exit.
ok, runs, I can walk around and stomp things down, which is great, but is there any target?

Not much gameplay-wise but I love the narration and graphics.
I got a java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError at first, so I had to install Java 7 to get it to run. Tip: Unless you need Java 7 features, compile the game for Java 6 or earlier.
I actually really liked this game. The simplicity is a good thing, and the story-telling voice-over that at least seemed to be responding to what I was doing was perfect. Some more variety would be great- different kinds of houses and villagers (army?), or maybe a way to go from the village to the next level which is a city with tougher resistance, etc. But this is a great start for a single weekend.
By the way, if you're looking for a better host than dropbox, you might consider the free Java hosting I offer at http://StaticVoidGames.com. We handle LWJGL automatically, and I'd love to see this game there! Either way, great job!

Une idée ?
Crobal is so cute.
I'm so sad when the game auto-quit when he doesn't manage to find enough friends :)
Great job, great voice acting :)
