Couldn't open on OSX 10.9. Here's the stack trace: https://gist.github.com/SlyJack0/7992506

You got a lot of the elements of a roguelike implemented in 48h, well done!

The wish only slightly postponed the inevitable. Makes me wish I could wish for three more wishes. Or one, to keep with the theme.

Great feel of the game, I also like the wish mechanic, but it is a bit confusing.

From 10 games I rated, this is probably best one ^_^! One wish idea is awesome, just haven't found what "I don't want to die" actually does. Graphics nice, just die sound too loud... Bravo!

it's a little bit buggy, cause you can walk outside of the map or something and it's kinda no fun to break a box and walk into it only to find that something kills you. maybe if you broke the box but remained in place? then you could move into the square, it just feels a bit unfair the way it is now. if that's whats going on, but other than that it's a fun little game. good job!

iamwhosiam: When you break the block you can fall down if pit is underneath. I totally agree that it should be an option. You should fall down only if you want.

NikinCZ: "I don't want to die" insta kills everyone on current level.

Jago: Sorry about that. I will updat os/x archive with newer lwjgl(as it seems to solve the problem). Although I cannot test it.

Nice concept on roguelike ;-) I like the theme usage here but I found it little chaotic overall (mainly because of tiles visibility). Good job

Pretty fun. I like the lighting effects.

Technically you've got everything down pretty well. A pretty nice dungeon crawler.

hey! I can suggest you to use JarSplice (http://ninjacave.com/jarsplice) to create all-in-one jar file (with natives inside) instead of using bat/shell scripts!

KEFIR, thanks for suggestion. I will look into it.
