You are a clumsy janitor that works in thermonuclear plant and one day by mistake presses auto destruct button. Now you have 10 seconds to get the hell out off there.
Unfortunately the jar file doesn't want to run on my computer. Most of the jar file entries haven't worked on my computer so it's probably a problem on my end.
Cool little platformer with a good use of the theme. The controls are a little funky and get stuck on edges/crates. Other than that a sold entry for 48 hours!
Well, I've got mixed feelings about this. Generally speaking, this game is so cool. I love the art style (especially those shadows next to the walls, neat stuff) and the premise. The fact that you can re-use those Abort-switches makes it quite fair, I rarely had to start over a complete level since I could always backtrace a few steps if something went wrong. Also, the level design is fantastic and the How To-screen is nice. However - the controls are (at least on my PC, maybe that's a factor?) an absolute pain. There's nothing more frustrating in such a game than when it simply ignores your keypresses, and it does that *constantly* which really drives me mad. All in all it gets reasonably high ratings from me, especially on theme, graphics and mood. If it wasn't for the controls, it would probably be in my Top 5 so far, but this way it's only "good". ;)
Runs ok, nice platformer, but played only two levels because of the edges glitches. Repair that and it will be ok. Also, quite happy soundtrack for exploding thermonuclear plant :D
Haha. poor janitor. Nice game, controls felt a little weird. For eg: you cant jump when moving forward. Also the jump movement is kinda slow. Otherwise, well done!
Cool game, found it very hard but very fun! I featured it in my video compilation series of LD27 games, if you would like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyApng3Bq-c
I played the web version and apart from the controls and occasional flickering it's a solid game. Nice concept, art and audio. Also you managed to include some levels with nice layout.

@Starspell
I tested it on few PCs and one MAC and everywhere it worked fine. If you have troubles with jar files maybe try to reinstall java.

Others have expressed the issues with the controls.
It's a good game though, and the added pressure of needing to push boxes to get around adds a lot.
Very well done all around!
But when you jump you... can think you're on the moon. :p
A better character controller would make a world of difference.
