Well here it is, Comic Sans: The Game. It's built using java on top of the Slick2D library, and should work on all systems (spoiler: It probably won't).
How'd I do?
EDIT +++++++++
Fixes (I hope) for Linux and OSX with new (post-compo) natives loader.

I'd like to play/vote, however I get the following error message (I am running on version 1.6, maybe it's that?):
Could not find the main class: ludumdare.LudumDare. Program will exit.
Hahah, cute! What if we don't want to rescue it, though?? My only suggestion is to make projectiles/enemies Times New Roman letters for thematic effect.
The theme for the last LD was "You Are The Villain". This would've fit in MUCH better with that, since 'rescuing' Comic Sans makes me feel like I'm committing some sort of crime.
I think something's off in the jump code. Sometimes you do little hops, sometimes it's a big leap. Still, best font-based run and jump game I've played this year!
I had some problems to run it on Ubuntu 12.04 and OpenJDR6. I had to install openjdk7 and "sudo update-alternatives --config java" to select JDK7 in order to get it to work. Glad i dit it, had a good laugh with this one. Very easy to win, but dodging all those falling potatoes to rescue comicsans was entertaining. :)
*Ahem*, your hitboxes are terrible, but otherwise you did a good job.
Am I meant to want to lose?
Also, you really shouldn't be mixing post-compo stuff with compo stuff, unless it is strictly game-breaking bugs. You should make a post-compo link for the post-compo version, so people aren't rating what you did after LD.

A bit too easy for my taste. The way you implemented ducking is an interesting way to do it :)
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no lwjgl in java.library.path"
I guess something wrong with path setup.
The jumping is a bit...wierd.
