This is my first Ludum Dare game, and I think it turned out good, however I do not know how true to the theme this is. Oh, well, I still think it's enjoyable.
Only one who knows the game for real can complete it(Or anyone who can press Skip Level). I promise you, the game is beatable without pressing Skip Level once.
To run the game, extract the files inside the .zip folder and just double-click the .jar file.
If this doesn't work, open your console, navigate to the folder with the files and run
java -jar 4directions.jar
If THIS doesn't work you probably don't have java.
Really nice take on the theme, I wish the player moved a bit faster, other than that, solid game! I included this game in my Ludum Dare Compilation series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/EqAXn91dGLM
Loved it, really interesting interpretation of the theme into a great little puzzle game.
My only complaint would of be that I kept dying and found it cumbersome to keep restarting. Automatic restarts or a pressing one key would of been nice.
Seconding the request for a dedicated restart key. Especially since if I started pressing the next key before releasing the last key, I would just lose that key. Nice puzzles despite some usability issues.

If you have time, rate my game too! I would really appreciate it! :D
