Unfortunately the jar file doesn't want to run on my computer. Most of the jar file entries haven't worked on my computer so it's probably a problem on my end.

Cool little platformer with a good use of the theme. The controls are a little funky and get stuck on edges/crates. Other than that a sold entry for 48 hours!
Well, I've got mixed feelings about this. Generally speaking, this game is so cool. I love the art style (especially those shadows next to the walls, neat stuff) and the premise. The fact that you can re-use those Abort-switches makes it quite fair, I rarely had to start over a complete level since I could always backtrace a few steps if something went wrong. Also, the level design is fantastic and the How To-screen is nice.
However - the controls are (at least on my PC, maybe that's a factor?) an absolute pain. There's nothing more frustrating in such a game than when it simply ignores your keypresses, and it does that *constantly* which really drives me mad.
All in all it gets reasonably high ratings from me, especially on theme, graphics and mood. If it wasn't for the controls, it would probably be in my Top 5 so far, but this way it's only "good". ;)
Thank you for comments. I know that controls are a bit off but I didnt manage to fix it in given time.
@Starspell
I tested it on few PCs and one MAC and everywhere it worked fine. If you have troubles with jar files maybe try to reinstall java.
Nice game. The controls feel a bit weird and everything seems to be in slow-motion. The music is very cool!
So close to being great. Tighten those controls up and you have a lovely game on your hands. Good job!
Nice try. I see some flashing noise sometimes, is it a bug or a feature of the game?
I liked the look of the main character. Platformers are always right up my alley.
Hard to control but decent game :)
Runs ok, nice platformer, but played only two levels because of the edges glitches. Repair that and it will be ok. Also, quite happy soundtrack for exploding thermonuclear plant :D
Haha. poor janitor.
Nice game, controls felt a little weird. For eg: you cant jump when moving forward. Also the jump movement is kinda slow. Otherwise, well done!
There really is something. Simple but well crafted :)
nice music, sometimes get stuck, simple and easy to understand good job!
Music seemed totally at odds with the visuals/gameplay.
Others have expressed the issues with the controls.
It's a good game though, and the added pressure of needing to push boxes to get around adds a lot.
The level design was very well done, & nice graphics!
Cute little character :)
Nice game.
Made it! That final abort switch floating above the death trap was quite a dick move >_< Thanks for the soothing music :-)
Very well done all around!
Well done! As "the time is running out on you" jump-and-run games go, this was actually pretty laid back and fun to play!
Good game, except for the controls. The graphics and sound are awesome and made me smile.
Cool game, found it very hard but very fun! I featured it in my video compilation series of LD27 games, if you would like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyApng3Bq-c
Typos in redme.txt were very entertaining. :)
I don't think the controls are that bad, in fact I happen to like them!
Nice job! With the control issues polished and a little more content I could see this being an addictive little game!
Cool little platform game :)
But when you jump you... can think you're on the moon. :p
I played the web version and apart from the controls and occasional flickering it's a solid game. Nice concept, art and audio. Also you managed to include some levels with nice layout.
Pretty fun little game. Was a little confused what the objective was at first, but got it pretty quick.
The controls seem a bit floaty and it was hard to distinguish whether the environment details were interactive, walls, or just decals.
A better character controller would make a world of difference.
Good game, i like what you did :)
