Got errors when I tried to run this: "Unsupported major.minor version 51.0" and "Could not find the main class". I tried to run it by typing "java -jar Game.jar"

@Jarcas Studios: Maybe You have old JAVA version? (Link: http://tinyurl.com/cuxak8v)
I have 1.7.0_17 version :-) (Screen: http://scr.hu/0co4/uxv1o)
When I running game by "java -jar Game.jar" I have only one error: "Error with playing sound.", but I've got this because i forgot delete test sound. This isn't crashing game ;-)

Yep, had to upgrade my Java from 1.6 to 1.7 before I could run it.

I had thought about doing some kind of simple button pressing game for this LD too, but ended up abandoning that idea.

I have to admit, your little random messages ("Keep Clicking", etc.) kept me playing this game a little longer than I thought I would. :)

Can't play, don't have windows :(

stefan 2013-04-29 19:56

This is really minimalistic :) Not the usual game, but an interesting idea. I especially like the game's comments and that it offered some help when I reach a to bad score ;)

thepsc1997 2013-04-29 20:29

@rainblade studios: This is *jar file, so this will work on any system ;-)
Because JAVA will work on any system ;-)

@Jarcas Studios: You can run game. It's good :>
When I read last line of Your comment I became happy man ^^
Thanks :-)

@stefan: Thank You ^^
I'd like this comments too ;-)

Pretty basic game, but it runs! There's a bug, any box you don't click stays marked as a correct box when "click me" moves away from it. Managed to get -1003 points :)

raoz 2013-05-01 14:57

Fun, yet SOOOOO minimalistic.

salamander3 2013-05-02 13:42

Probably the most minimalistic game I've played all LD. :P good humour, though the gameplay was not that entertaining. Not something that I've seen on here yet though, and definitely theme fitting. Good job.

I felt as though I was being scolded at around -200, as though that was bad or something

stqn 2013-05-07 22:02

Worked under Linux with openjdk7. Minimal but not very challenging! :)

thepsc1997 2013-05-07 22:04

I fixed this unfortunately bug with points system ;)
@All Really Thanks for all comments ;-)
High Five! ;D

@f7f5 You have old JAVA version.
You must update JAVA to 1.7 version ;-)

kvisle 2013-05-10 19:58

Crashed on my 32nd click.

ahm99 2013-05-10 22:42

I actually found this game to be really fun. It's very different. Good job :)

thepsc1997 2013-05-11 07:54

@Kvisle I don't know why game was crashed...
Code is very simply, so i don't know what can be crashed...
This is JAVA problem i guess... But seriously i don't know...

@ahm99 Veeery thanks for feedback ^^

alfonzm 2013-05-11 08:42

Very simple but I had fun!

rejooh 2013-05-11 09:36

These liners really caught me. Wish there were more. :)

redsounding 2013-05-11 10:31

Fits the theme nicely. Relying on updated Java is like herding cats though... Fun!

lucas-tiridath 2013-05-11 16:43

Very amusing and ridiculously minimalistic! "Don't Click Here" is a nice touch too ;).

superdisk 2013-05-11 22:14

Creative use of Swing buttons. There's not a time limit, so it was quite easy, but still. Nice!

thepsc1997 2013-05-12 15:00

Thanks for all comments and votes :)
Everytime when I see new comment I smile to myself, and I think I managed to do something powerful, and gives a smile to other players :)

@SuperDisk: Thank You :)
Time limit! Good idea!
When i was doing game i was planning to add time for reaction - the faster you react, the more points You earn, but I don't have time and idea how to do that, so there is no "Time for reaction" in final game :/
But time limit is great idea! Why did not I think about this idea earlier? ;>

dalbinblue 2013-05-12 15:48

Certainly fits the theme. I think I made the game angry by not clicking "Click".

bumpkinrich 2013-05-15 18:34

Great use of the theme!

killedbyapixel 2013-05-16 21:09

Cool idea man! I think you need to expand on it a bit to really make it fun but it's a good start.

jonathang 2013-05-17 12:16

Amusing for some reason. I liked the random text for each click. Important: if you read this review this review will be read! Also, thank you for making a jar file I can just click to play. Lots of java games submitted to LD are really hard to get running. :)

garygreen 2013-05-17 21:09

That was a cross between frustration and fun. :-) I kept going to see what would happen, but nothing did. It did make me smile though and it was stangely addictive. Maybe the messages should have been bigger, but then again having them quite small and subtle was part of it. You definitely made a minimalist game. :-)

benjamin-soule 2013-05-18 05:58

Well I suppose I'm a good clicker :) Next time just enlight some buttons at random : you were few step away of a very correct tap mole game !

lorancou 2013-05-18 18:36

I had some fun but got bored after a while, when my score reached 1 234 042. Good entry :)

kibertoad 2013-05-18 21:20

It was OK.

nambew 2013-05-19 14:52

I think is a funny throll thing, the more your click and the more the game throw hilarious comment.

zim-the-fox 2013-05-19 20:06

Reminds me of this:
http://mmo.smbc-comics.com/login.php

I like it. It's silly. And it does feel like an MMO xD
It'd be cool to get extra points for the less time you take to click, or something like that. That'd add some skill :3
