It looks like you got quite a bit done. I don't really understand the fail condition, though. Also, it's a good idea to separate the jar from the source. Having to download your source is a bit of a pain ;-)

@ChronusZ if you look some tiles are slightly lighter those will kill you (See hints.txt for more info). If you want to make the more visible edit res/images/trap.png. Also the source is only ~40kb so i figured it was easier to include it in the main download instead of having 2 downloads)

@Crafting4U cant really help with only that. Please read the top part of my submission.

It's hard!
I've got trouble to select a level.
(It takes me ten 10 to pass)
And I've died a lot, most of the time because I haven't see a killing tile.

Download it and didnt work.

I think the core idea is cool but there are some flaws in the design as I told you during the stream yesterday. It needs some more work, because as it is now, it's confusing (at least for me). Cool concept, and really cool editor :D

It's nice to see another Java entry. Good work, you clearly put a lot into this. I find it a bit frustrating that I keep walking into walls that I can't see and having to restart. Also the new release is working fine on OS X Yoesmite + JRE 8.

Plays fairly well, but it's hard to tell what to do. Good job overall.

Couldn't get the game to launch:(

Well done on finishing and including an editor!

The game is pretty frustrating, but that could be resolved without too much work.

Great style! So simple and fun!

Cool little game. But the "dangerous" fields are very hard to spot. But fun anyway, I enjoyed playing it.
