Java Exception Error

ViliX 2014-08-25 05:37

I've tried running it on Windows, but it crashed. When I ran it in the console, it gave me this output:

C:\Users\ViliX\Documents\LD\jar>java -jar TheOneBetweenTheWorlds.jar

A few issues but overall I like this. You used the theme in an interesting way for sure. One issue I had was that I couldn't get out of the Help menu, I had to close the program and restart. Also when your time counts down it will show single digit seconds wrong, for example 2 instead of 02.

Works fine on OSX. Help is not readable in hell (grey on black), can be escaped from with <enter>?

zdavid112z 2014-08-25 06:58

If you press ENTER while in the help menu it takes you to the main menu.I do not have a proper way of changing the background and the only way of doing it is to restart the game and hope for another one.

The idea is cool but I really dont like controls. Graphics is simple and nice.

Btw guys, you need to use Java8 to run it

mess110 2014-08-25 07:32

if you get a Java exception, make sure to use java8 to run. good job respecting the theme. love the references

Works on linux. It seems fun, but also collision does seem to have some errors.

I got a Java Exception ERror on Windows version.

zdavid112z 2014-08-25 15:00

Shatterhand,make sure you have java 8 installed.If that does not work try the Linux version,and if that doesn't work either can you please send me the error message.

Nice work. It got much more fun once I was able to skip levels and increase my stats. How do you beat a level otherwise? It might be nice to be able to put points into skills immediately when you have the shards. Also, the levels probably need more of a flow, like I felt I was just bouncing around in some directionless void. Might be more interesting to start with a left-right kind of flow, that then leads up and down. Also, the combat/block mechanic needs balancing, because it always seemed easier to run away, because in combat I always received damage. But overall I enjoyed it!

A for originality! Good luck :)

I like the biblical tone of everything, very strange and slightly unsettling. It is a little too unforgiving and that coupled with the audio can make the game hard to play. Still I think you really ran with the theme here and made something unique.

shatterhand 2014-08-30 05:44

I'll update my Java version and I'll let you know :)

Nice Art Style

A nice take on the theme, though it's pretty hard. It feels like attacking enemies doesn't help a lot; they tend to gang up on you, you can't fight while moving and your hurtbox is big enough that you can't really harm the enemy and avoid being harmed yourself.

Good job!
