Worldhole Theater

I've found quite a lot of bugs. You should polish the game a bit.

I can't run the game on Linux, probably you forgot to reference some libraries.

$ java -jar WormholeTheater.jar

I can't play the game, it just flashes a command prompt window

Game is definitely a bit buggy. I'm not entirely sure I understand the goal. After killing a few initial enemies I waited a while and nothing else really happened. Just seems unfinished.

@leDragoon you have to extract it to a folder first.

@Charlie probably the same thing, or the linux startup script is incorrect. (try double clicking the .jar, that may launch the game)

@billknye you're supposed to find the portals, and go on until you die. The portals are linked to different worlds and such, the further you get, the larger the score you get for clearing an enemy wave. Sorry if it seems unfinished. The enemy AI is really bugged up, due to my lack of comprehension in physics and maths.

You should probably mention that scroll wheel determines the ship's speed. Took me a while to figure it out. Other than that, it is a nice idea and a good try. Pretty good music too. And I had a good laugh seeing the enemies jitter like that!

@Oana adding it to the website + post now. <3

Considering your time constraints this is a decent attempt, albeit a bit buggy.

I played the game thrice, in the first two times going as deep as level 3, and I only encountered ships in my first game and only right when I started the game. I've seen no more enemies from that point, which is not really ideal for a game like this.

At my final attempt, I encountered a fountain of bullets, looking like coming from out of nowhere, right next to a pair of red ships ignoring me. :) It was quite funny and that bullet hell got my life. :)

Your are right. Should use libgdx :)

Quite confusing but not bad, but I think it would be easier if I could move the ship with W,A,S,D!

Good job!
