Hey, I'd love to try this out, but I'm getting an exception when I try to run it with "java -jar TheDepthsBelowTheCaves2.jar"
Here's the stack trace, if it'll help: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1 at my.project.LudumDare.main.Application.<init>(Application.java:13) at me.LD.main.Main.main(Main.java:18) In my experience, the most frustrating thing about Ludum Dare is your game not working on other peoples' computers, so good luck! If you figure it out, I'd love to try it later!
I really like this core mechanic, and the graphics are really sweet, but I wish you'd had more time to develop on the ideas! I feel there's a lot of potential here.
I really like how the caves 'shapeshift', and it's something that I wasn't really expecting! I hope you put more work into this, it's an interesting idea.
The graphics of the game are very well polished. However the game-play and mechanics were disenchanting, you could beat the entire game just by moving left until you hit a wall, then right until you hit a wall, and do on so forth. I feel like this game might of been better if there were real decisions or maybe even just a simple jumping mechanic and some platforming segments. I'd love to see the beautiful pixel art animated in an engaging way, but for your first ludum dare it's a good start.
Now that it's actually working, let me congratulate you on your first Ludum Dare!
This is definitely a strange and surreal idea you've made from this, even if it is a bit simplistic. You made use of the theme in a very inventive way, and I definitely applaud that!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35. Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free) So we can include also your game in the video ;) p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
