Can't get it to run I'm afraid :( Batch file just opens and closes!

It's a little difficult to play - particularly with a black character on a near-black background - but is strangely compelling... the lack of a 'left' key is an interesting challenge.

I did some running, but it's very hard to actually land in the right place in order to carry on jumping.

I managed to get 50,000 by just holding the right button and getting fast enough to not fall :-)

the graphics are pretty good but the gameplay is a bit buggy.

Doesn't run for me, it gives me this error: http://imgur.com/Ed6yH

Nice! I had some fun playing it, I like how fast and smooth it runs.

Rather fun, the controls took some getting used to but the sense of speed was amazing! I managed 100k, quite easy once you get going.

Yup same thing for me, can't get it to run :/

dementor561 2012-12-17 20:28

cant open it...

Nice first LD game, though I was able to get a crazy high score by holding right and pressing the up button a lot! I'm also not sure what this has to do with the theme...

Sorry, it crashes for me on Ubuntu with the following traceback: http://pastebin.com/vT9PACac

I really dig this. I actually think it's more fun than Cannabalt.

Wow, very challenging. At first it seemed impossible but after a while I got the hang of it and it was pretty fun. The lack of a left key is a great idea although the fact that you don't respawn in a safe place makes an already tough game a bit unforgiving.

Won't run for me(No pun intended!) WinXP

coffeeonimal 2012-12-20 12:08

Win7 and I can't get it to run. Command prompt opens then immediately closes.

gemberkoekje 2012-12-20 12:38

Can't get it to run either, unfortunately.

Very cool. No trouble running (win7, JDK 7). I think the top speed needs to be lower though. I could go a very long way just by holding right and spamming jump.

The theme seems absent here. Maybe he didn't pay his taxes or something.

brotherst 2012-12-21 18:10

Couldn't run it.. Nothing happens.

char68 2012-12-21 18:15

Able to run, although I'm not sure why there's even a right arrow button if you have to move right (maybe for momentum to play a role). I accidentally fell off the side early on and seemed to miss a bunch of the tips, there should definitely be a readme :)

zazery 2012-12-24 00:52

At first I thought the health icon represented portals and that every time I fell it looped me back to the top. The speed you can get is insane. Just hold right and you're a blur.

lotusgame 2012-12-24 17:39

I like this kind of game ! Simple and speedy ! Too bad graphics weren't better and the theme not really integrated.

toadpud 2012-12-24 20:00

Really fun, great game. I didn't think it really fit the theme though.

dr_soda 2012-12-27 16:12

The .jar file and the .bat file both do nothing for me, so I can't play the game.

neonlare 2013-01-03 04:54

Didn't feel to villainous but was fun, did take a while to run and crashed a fair amount :(.

kevinworkman 2013-01-05 17:56

This was a fun start, but like others have said, the controls were a bit difficult- for example, did the left arrow key do anything? I managed to get over 200,000 points just by holding in right and spamming the up key. But overall this was a nice start and worked great for me.

By the way, if you want a better host than dropbox, you might check out the free Java hosting I offer at http://StaticVoidGames.com. Our uploader handles LWJGL automatically. Either way, nice work!

Theme link is not there. I got to 80k by holding right and mashing space and achieving.. Ludicrous Speed.
