If you want to play a little game for a few minutes then you browsed to the right game. Unfortunately time was short for a nice story line. Despite of that I'm pleased with what I accomplished.
Content of the game: You play a solitudinarian (a person who lives alone a simple, minimalistic life, detached from society) who suddenly got sick and is now in the need of civilization's knowledge.
The game uses libgdx and so I hope that it runs without any problems on any operating system (in the easiest case by double-clicking the "LD26.jar" file). Of course you need an installed Java Runtime Environment.
I will see if I can get an android-port running. I didn't try that before and I do not own an android device myself so I cannot test it well.
Was definitely too short, I think if you could have gone a little further with this it would have been that much better. It was good enough to make me go explore and see if I could find anything past the infernal 'vegetation is too dense' messages.
Well, done, for what you have. The graphics, while not AAA material (though I'm not sure that's what you should be striving for :P) served the game well. Music was nice and not obtrusive. You fit the theme pretty well - it was a little anti-climactic and short, though. Also, jumping was a tad weird.
Can you run it via command line and the command "javaw LD26.jar"? Maybe then you see the exception. (open the command line conveniantly by pressing shift und right click into the folder where the jar is and choosing the context menu entry where command line is written. Unfortunately I don't the exact term in English. With that the prompt will be the jar's folder. Handy feature if one knows about it^^)
Having to hit the R key every time I bumped into vegetation was really, really, REALLY annoying and totally unnecessary as not being able to move would have been enough of an indication.
Thanks for the nice words. @Spelchan: Sorry for that. Late in the night I wasn't able to figure out why tree/stone collision didn't work (now I know why) @EricTheCoolDude: I feared the sound could be annoying, so I'm glad it is not : ) @Polar: Yes, thats it.
i loved your water tiles. xD Not sure what to do after the bridge, but when the main character walks i would have expected him to be sickly when he walks. Right now he's like a street fighter. "put em up!". also he talks about being old? He needs something that represents age, cane, white-beard, something. :) idk, just imo.
This game is terrible D: Graphics sucks, I feel all the time guided, music sucks.. Colors are good, the IDEA of the story is good as well, but not the way you told it.

I wish I had more time, too :(
Otherwise I'm a bit clueless about where to look for the issue.
"Java Virtual Machine Launcher", "A Java Exception has occurred." and that's it.
I think this might be an x86/x64 thing... maybe.

Looks like you have a good base system here, but would have indeed helped if you had more time.
