Really fun and hard!

abdurrahmankh 2014-12-09 21:18

my java security blocked the game and I didnt know what to do

I had alot of fun playing this, really cool mechanic with th pacman and the snake, i think you should develop that mechanic more, and make up some of your own characters

I couldn't run it using Jar Launcher 14.9.0 on Mac (Mavericks). The music started but the screen was blank. I also tried running it from the command line with "java -jar" (java version 1.7.0_25), but I got the same result, as well as this stack trace:

Awesome!

Graphics could be a tad better, but it's fun and quite hard at times.

Really crazy and difficult mashup. The music is too loud though.

Lovely programmer art, the "M" sure is for Masterpiece. (No offense :D) (If you don't get it, read the new LD FAQ)

For people with security issues, on Java 8, applets are messed up. You will have to add https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com to your exception list (Found in the java config section) to get the security to work.

@elemel I am not sure what happened. I have only tried this on Windows. This error has appeared for me before though when I had a ton of stuff open.

Wow, development must have escalated quickly :D I like the mashup but right now it's a bit hard; it's easy to get stuck in a group of enemies with no way out (that I can see.) Very ambitious project, I'd like to see it continued!

rjhelms 2014-12-10 00:04

Haha, awesome idea. Love it!

pickensincorporated 2014-12-10 00:13

The instructions o_O they were comical! The clashing information was really confusing at first, but it was pretty fun once I actually understood what to do. Sick graphics! Also, tune down the music!

spartanicecream 2014-12-10 00:25

Pretty Neat

conflei 2014-12-10 00:32

You are doing it hard way haha, buts ok, programmer art too.
Heads up, it's a funny game :)

eerongal 2014-12-10 01:00

Becomes a bit of a cluster-f pretty quickly, but neat game

zi 2014-12-10 03:20

The web player gets blocked for me, and the download link gives an internal server error. =(

ajayajayaj 2014-12-10 12:29

@Zi weird... Have you tried adding the exception for the java applet?

trisquare 2014-12-11 00:24

The Instructions were really funny and made it a joy to learn ho to play this game. . . and i cant say that for most games :)

shotty456 2014-12-11 01:17

couldnt play, came up with an error.

budaniel 2014-12-11 17:07

could not play (error)

ajayajayaj 2014-12-12 01:10

If you can't play, try the download version.

rantt 2014-12-12 02:08

Liked the mashup concept. Fun game, nicely done :)

ekilibr 2014-12-16 21:13

As others said, fun but hard game. Graphics are not "originals", but it works like that! I did a couple of tries, thanks for the experience :)

thenumberguy 2014-12-18 19:20

Really awesome idea! The graphics could be a bit better :D and the music was too loud, but the overall experience was amazing. You should really expand on this idea and make it a nice full game. 5 stars :)

maxmetallica 2014-12-29 21:25

nice work
