When I open the file, the screen just goes white after I choose "survival." I'm using Windows 7 and am simply double clicking the .jar file titled 'RUN'. Hope that helps a little.
vanaficionadoauthor16 Dec 2013, 02:39
Yea, you have to let it load for a minute after clicking survival.

Nice job!
HeroesGrave16 Dec 2013, 06:14
Linux (and possibly Mac) are broken because you use '\' instead of '/' in the paths.

Use File.separator instead for cross-platform-ness.
Sylence16 Dec 2013, 18:36
Well done :)

Neat look to the game. It I like the different layers of background.
Arkazon16 Dec 2013, 18:54
Looks nice but I had no idea what was going on!

Waited for quite a while after clicking survival and it just wasn't loading, sorry man.

Laggy as hell on my late 2013 MacBook Pro.

Playing on windows 7 64 bit. When I double click the jar file to start I will also end up with a white screen after the white menu. But when I open a command prompt and start the game with java -jar RUN.jar, everthing works fine...

Interesting art style ;) Was entertaining for a short while.
vanaficionadoauthor17 Dec 2013, 01:07
Thanks man. +1 for going the extra step to play it. Ill be sure to review your game.

Can't get it to run
Flux17 Dec 2013, 01:42
Won't load, gave it 5 minutes :(
jongtao17 Dec 2013, 02:54
I was a bit confused about what I was supposed to do, but being a unicell organism is pretty cool. The background was pretty trippy as well.
chiguireitor17 Dec 2013, 02:55
Couldn't get it to run. Clicked survival and waited 5 minutes, but it still didn't run. Windows 7, AMD APU A8.
xaedes17 Dec 2013, 18:56
I really! want to play this. But I can't start it.

When I try to start with "java -jar RUN.jar" I get following error:

vanaficionadoauthor17 Dec 2013, 19:57
The game wont run because you have Java Version 1.6 or lower, ill try to make it compatable with older versions. But I would also recommend you update java.
vanaficionadoauthor17 Dec 2013, 20:16
I updated it to support older versions of Java, its untested though so...
*PLEASE
Leave a comment if this works/doesnt work on your system!!
Thanks!
Wukkopi17 Dec 2013, 20:43
Art style was really interesting, but I really didn't have a clue how to exactly control my thingy, it kind of flew around all the places with random speed. Could have some kind of visual feedback when I do or receive damage. Though enemies turned white when they got killed. Other than that nice concept.

Ran a bit choppy on my macbook running OSX but it was still fun. I really like the concept. the seperate window for the shop was a bit tricky on a laptop screen though.
xaedes17 Dec 2013, 22:20
It goes one step further I think^^

The issue is the game engine is not backwards compatible with that version of java, ill get working on fixing it right away!

I'm sorry, this sounded interesting but it also wouldn't run on my computer. The title screen started okay, but when I clicked to play it closed, launched a new window, and that window was blank forever.

I had to run the game with "-Xmx1024m" parameter; I was getting out of memory errors otherwise.

Sorry, but the graphics were painful for me :/
vanaficionadoauthor21 Dec 2013, 02:55
Im sorry. The game is horribly un-optimized. Its understandable that it isnt running.

When you say the graphics were painufull, what do you mean?
