Unfortunately I can't get past the security issue on OSX. I tried lowering my security level but it only goes down to high, there's no medium option on OSX :( I suggest trying the Ludum Dare IRC channel to see if anyone can help you package it into a jar file (I don't know anything about that, sorry).

You can run it using a compiler right now. I am attempting to convert it to a jar and should, hopefully have it up by later today.

Oh, why is java so bossy...
After some attempts, I managed to launch the game and got the same problem as FloatingGhost.
Java 7/Firefox whatever/Win7 (32bit)

Sorry man, I couldn't run the game. I downloaded the jar file and when running it with java -jar I got this error: "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Man : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0". I have Java 1.6.0_65, perhaps your code requires the latest and greatest version of Java?
(this is on OSX)

The .jar works for me, sadly, the game is a lot too hard to be enjoyable: I get killed in 2 to 3 seconds, never more :'(

Java Exception, sorry.
I have java 7, widows 7, maybe I need java 8? Would suprise me, after looking at the source.
I did extract the files(so that's not the problem).
I checked file capitalisation(because that's a common problem...).

My 2 cents:
I noticed you didn't put all the resources in the .jar

Instead of:
Snowman = ImageIO.read(new File("asdf\\SovietSnowman.png"));

put:

Snowman = Snowman.read(ImageLoader.class.getResourceAsStream("SovietSnowman.png"));
And put your image in the package of the same class.
That way you can ship a simple single runnable .jar file.

I also noticed the source folder you give is missing some images (like splash.png)

Hope any of this helps.

Couldn't run it because of a java error (I'm also on windows 8.1 and I have up to date java). I'm very sad :(

very rough, couldn't see the hammers right away which confused me in the beginning, other than that, it's a simple funny game. Nice effort.
