can't get it to run on linux :(

/Downloads/Planet fighter/native\linux/liblwjgl.so

says it can't find this: maybe cross-os paths?

hmm...well my best guess is the single '\' that's there... I'll try changing that in just a sec.

Changed, if it still doesn't work then I have no idea what to do.

Difficult to play that one. Being unable to tell when an enemy is damage is a little difficult.

Very cool game and it works on Linux!

@uprightpath Yeah I added the death sounds for the player and enemy, but didn't need a hit sound for the player and so I forgot to add it for the enemy.
@Charlie Thanks! Glad you liked it, and good to know it works now.

cool game! the patterns very interesting, but enemies have too much life, especially when using pink bullets.

Well, I didn't want to make it too easy, so the more waves you beat, the more health the enemies have. And I think the 360-spread planet would have been overpowered if it would've done more damage. Though it can get pretty fast with the fire rate power-ups. Thanks for playing!

Nice scrolling shooter type game and good use of the theme.

Controls were a bit oddly placed for playing with the mouse, but it was pretty fun overall. Sounds effects and music were a great match to the overall feel!
