There is a void runner over there.
He got tired of the bad things and he went to jump on the roofs.
Just run and try to get over 50k.

Soryy, I don't finished all things, what I actually want to do. It's my first game for LD and first game with LWJGL.

If you have some problems like:
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: ben : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0"

then you must install latest JRE:

Can't get it to run I'm afraid :( Batch file just opens and closes!

It's a little difficult to play - particularly with a black character on a near-black background - but is strangely compelling... the lack of a 'left' key is an interesting challenge.

I did some running, but it's very hard to actually land in the right place in order to carry on jumping.

I managed to get 50,000 by just holding the right button and getting fast enough to not fall :-)

the graphics are pretty good but the gameplay is a bit buggy.

Nice! I had some fun playing it, I like how fast and smooth it runs.

Rather fun, the controls took some getting used to but the sense of speed was amazing! I managed 100k, quite easy once you get going.

Yup same thing for me, can't get it to run :/

Nice first LD game, though I was able to get a crazy high score by holding right and pressing the up button a lot! I'm also not sure what this has to do with the theme...

Wow, very challenging. At first it seemed impossible but after a while I got the hang of it and it was pretty fun. The lack of a left key is a great idea although the fact that you don't respawn in a safe place makes an already tough game a bit unforgiving.

Win7 and I can't get it to run. Command prompt opens then immediately closes.

Can't get it to run either, unfortunately.

Very cool. No trouble running (win7, JDK 7). I think the top speed needs to be lower though. I could go a very long way just by holding right and spamming jump.

The theme seems absent here. Maybe he didn't pay his taxes or something.

Couldn't run it.. Nothing happens.

Able to run, although I'm not sure why there's even a right arrow button if you have to move right (maybe for momentum to play a role). I accidentally fell off the side early on and seemed to miss a bunch of the tips, there should definitely be a readme :)

At first I thought the health icon represented portals and that every time I fell it looped me back to the top. The speed you can get is insane. Just hold right and you're a blur.

I like this kind of game ! Simple and speedy ! Too bad graphics weren't better and the theme not really integrated.

Really fun, great game. I didn't think it really fit the theme though.

The .jar file and the .bat file both do nothing for me, so I can't play the game.

Didn't feel to villainous but was fun, did take a while to run and crashed a fair amount :(.

This was a fun start, but like others have said, the controls were a bit difficult- for example, did the left arrow key do anything? I managed to get over 200,000 points just by holding in right and spamming the up key. But overall this was a nice start and worked great for me.

By the way, if you want a better host than dropbox, you might check out the free Java hosting I offer at http://StaticVoidGames.com. Our uploader handles LWJGL automatically. Either way, nice work!

Theme link is not there. I got to 80k by holding right and mashing space and achieving.. Ludicrous Speed.
