(Yes, the link says Java. But if you press the Pause button, you'll see the game is written in an 8-bit assembly language emulated on the JVM.)

Amazing concept, and very fun. Only problem is it makes me a bit uneasy using Java in a browser given the ongoing security issues.

There's not much I can do about that right now, but I'm hoping my future entries can be flash-based.

Still, it's no less secure than downloading and running any of the native entries in this jam.

Ha! I haven't played it yet, but nice tie-in with the theme :)

This is an cool concept, and a really great implementation of the theme. Unfortunately I am terrible at it, and couldn't get much done, but I like the concept a lot!
