I seem to be stuck on this screen: http://i.imgur.com/tkZCnKT.png

Im also stuck on that screen. Running openjdk on debian.

Nice gameboy-style graphics. Game is quite hard to play, at least for me. Very challenging.

Wow awesome game. I love the look and feel. Great job mate.

Pretty nice game, unfortunately the game crashed when I completed the astroid level so I couldn't finish the game.

Great little shooter/platformer. I've not finished it yet (only excavated three planets) but I'm impressed by its polish. It really feels great.
Graphics are simple but to the point, maybe a little too small.
I'm not too sure about the theme, but not having found 'the nexus', I can't say much.
Very solid entry.

Very nice game. Big bullets, lots of particle effects - you know what's good :)
I've also found bug, but I wasn't able to reproduce it. Once on meteor and once on final world (probably doesn't matter where) in the middle of a fight game screen froze. Nothing moved, but when I pressed the arrows I could still hear shooting sound.

Quite hard, not entirely sure how to finish a level, did excavated mean complete? I don't know how I did that if so. Was very fun and looks awesome, love the style.

Great art, great gameplay. Very hard!

Challenging, but really fun. Doesn't feel like a first game! Great job :)

Love the pixel art, awesome choice of colors! Cool innovation too

Like the visuals. But game TOOOO hard for me =(

Wow, this was amazing. I really killed my hand trying to beat that last boss! It took a while to understand what I was supposed to do on the first level, but once I got it... wow. My favorite was definitely the asteroids level. Right when I started feeling really cocky and confident about my skills, the game would wipe the floor with me and make me work a lot harder. Awesome.

Really cool Game I love the graphics and the generally style and shooting in 4 directions :)

Couldn't boot the windows file, it says that the main class main.game is not found

honcho 2014-08-27 20:11

Feels great! Love the color palette, FIGGEN HARD!

munkeebacon 2014-08-27 20:18

Looks pretty good but I'm having menu issues.

spotco 2014-08-29 10:36

Great game, finished it pretty quick. Controls felt a little floaty+slippery (especially with the bit of precision platforming), but loved the (SPOILER ALERT) boss.

leafthief 2014-08-29 13:11

It's really hard, but also really rewarding. This game is so well made. Congrats and thanks for this!

commodorekid 2014-08-29 14:31

This is awesomely COMPLETE game which made it top on my list until I find a better game among entries.

officialcodenmore 2014-08-29 15:30

Graphics are nice! Neat game!

jod 2014-08-29 16:17

Love the gameboy graphics. Retro-time!

pinqu 2014-08-29 19:14

Love the retro look, but the controls were a little hard to adapt to.

Congratulations on your first LD dude! ^^ For a first time this is really really good! I personally think that it's a bit too difficult. Especially the jump height bugged me out each time I fell into a little gap and got stuck. I can see you tried going for game feel but I think you can still learn a LOT on that part, here maybe this video helps if you haven't seen it yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg Because you know, in your game there isn't too much happening and it can get a bit stale. Add more different elements and exaggerate even more!

Congratulation, the game is very challenging! BTW the source zip contains only compiled classes and not actual sources... Is it intentional?

hypnohustla 2014-09-03 07:25

Really hard, but the controls were very responsive and the movement and shooting was smooth as hell. Great entry. :)
