Can you make it work on Mac/Web?

joncom 2012-12-18 21:28

Love the art style!

Nice, pretty easy though.
Ran on linux by adding the just using the linux natives for lwjgl. Assume the same would work with mac.

The game was way too easy :3 only click space and I won. But I enjoyed it! And the story telling is nicely done. Didn't feel like the villain though :P poor skeleton was the victim :(

good game with some pretty nice graphics. Maybe a little to easy, you win without doing really anything.

I like the game! Didn't get enough visual feedback to understand that what I was doing had any effect. Got the feeling that I just could press space, and I would win anyway. Good graphics and great that it is actually a fully completed game!

gesangbaer 2012-12-19 22:58

I got the same error as Gobo.

gesangbaer 2012-12-19 23:01

Gobo: Googled a bit, we are likely using an older version of java than Nisshoku did. You'll have to install the latest version.

nisshoku 2012-12-20 19:53

Thanks for your feedback everyone! I'm aware the game is too easy, I regret that I didn't have time left to balance more. :(

Gobo and gesangbaer, thanks for reporting. I recompiled the game using Java 1.6 now rather than 1.7. It should now run with older versions of Java too. :)

A bit unfortunate you can complete most of it without pressing anything, but otherwise nice art.

dustystylus 2012-12-20 20:22

Very nice! Would have been nice to have had even some very basic sound fx, but very polished in the graphics and implementation side. Well done! :)

orangeez 2012-12-20 20:40

That's a pretty good game, I liked the idea, and the story. First entry with humour that actually made me smile :)
I also had some problems with launch, solved them by changing "java" in .bat to full path to "java.exe", hope that helps someone

nisshoku 2012-12-21 11:41

I updated the package so that you now can run without the batch file, took some time for me to figure out what was the problem. Didn't change the game contents of course. Thanks again for the feedback!

I like the graphics! nice work on the game :D

csanyk 2012-12-30 17:43

Liked the graphics. The game more or less seemed to play itself, and my interaction didn't seem to matter much. Couldn't beat the big battle where the whole village came up though, lol. I liked the narrative style of the monsterous not-really-bad guy who just wants to be left alone.

spelchan 2012-12-30 18:35

Liked the story. Game play was a bit lacking as pretty much the game played itself. The final battle, however, was very tough and took me 3 tries before I was finally able to get rid of the healers so my monsters would have a chance. You should have some final story page that concludes the story instead of just dumping you to the title page after all the effort of winning the final battle (or if you did you need to make sure it isn't clicked past before it is seen). I really liked how you played off the fact that you are the villain because of what you are not what you do.
