Props on including an exe for us lazy non-java-updators.
My biggest issue with the game is the lack of theming. The weapon is a selfie stick, the enemies are aliens, and you're picking up fruit. I realize you're going for a retro arcade aesthetic, but it's not appealing to me. It'd be nice to at least have the collectibles be smartphones or photographs, and the enemies grumpy anti-selfie people, or something along those lines.

I disagree from amras. For me it looks intentional the non-related things, because it WAS like this the old arcades.
Crazy names, themes and enemies and get fruits, always the fruits...
The idea of the "selfie stick" as a weapon was very smart in my opinion, made the game more funny.
Good job guys! :)

Impressive for the amount of time spent.

This is cute little game.. I liked the simple graphics which were also something which I aimed for. :)

I liked that it emulated a rarely emulated type of game, and the cheery pro-selfie atmosphere.

Sorry, not related to the gameplay itself, but the Japanese characters make no sense. :( And the second Japanese character after ma doesn't exist.

I can't run all 3 versions of the game. I'm on Windows 8.1 pro.

Fun and has cute graphics, nice work!

@ranmaru90, I'd be very surprised if the Japanese did make sense :) I took two random characters(words?) in the hope it wouldn't make sense so I don't offend anyone ..

ranmaru90 2015-04-23 03:42

LOL. Try ☆ニャー~! Btw, selfie is 自分撮り(ji bun do ri) in Japanese.

I still can't run the game, both the x64 and x86 JAR and the exe. Nothing happens when I double clicked on them.

@ranmaru90, thanks for the translation :)
About the program, the only thing I can think to suggest is to check your Java version. The game will need 1.7 or higher.
You can check from the command prompt (cmd.exe) by typing : Java -version
If the command doesn't work, then you'll likely need to install a JRE.

I can't play it, there's a crash after I start a game. Otherwise it seems to be fun to play !

@Kazura, Hi, thanks for giving it a try.
If you tried one of the jars, did it leave a crash message?

I managed a double KO :-) Fun little game. Liked the arcade style start screen. Clean crisp graphics. A little hard to time the attacks but that was some of the appeal.

I had the same problem as ranmaru. Tried the exe and both jars, none of them would run. Windows 7, Java 1.8

Shame, it looks pretty good!
