Wasn't working for me on Mac : ( (version 10.10.4)

webfreak001 2015-08-24 12:39

Really fun game with nice graphics. But Its no longer fun when getting the bazooka, because its impossible to jump up that hill after that :(

The sounds are playing and I can interact with the program, but nothing shows up.
On Windows 10 if that information is of any use.

Doesn't work on Mac – tried opening it from Finder, didn't work. Then ran in console:

$ java ld33_osx-x64.jar
=> Error: Could not find or load main class ld33_osx-x64.jar

Well, I wasn't able to get the game running on my Surface Pro. It just played some music to a black screen. I would test it on my other computer, but I'm on the go right now, so yeah...

slashee-the-cow 2015-08-24 12:46

Seems fun to start. But unless I'm missing something, after you get the bazooka, the next ledge is too high to jump on to. And I think I lost all my health but didn't die?

Nice little game. The controls are a bit too twitchy for my tastes, and the camera is quite annoying at times since you can't see what's coming. I like the sprites and the animations!

reactorscram 2015-08-24 12:51

I got it to run on OpenJDK 8 but there's no graphics.

komradus 2015-08-24 13:07

Interesting concept, it was enjoyable but the controls sometimes felt a little difficult to handle...mainly when rocket jumping.

paulsinnett 2015-08-24 13:20

Sorry, I wasn't able to get this to run.

undef 2015-08-24 13:20

Soun´ds are working but can't see anything on Windows 7.

kr-eddie 2015-08-24 13:27

The sprites looked nice but the animation could be better.
Sincerelly I didn't enjoy the gameplay very much. The controls were very twitchy, rocket jumping was very hard to do (and I had to come read the description to figure out I needed to rocket jump) and constantly having to manually reload your weapon (specially the rocket launcher) was very fustrating.
Visually it's a decent game. It's just that the gameplay needs some work.

kr-eddie 2015-08-24 13:28

Btw, I liked the cover! :)

somnium 2015-08-24 14:08

I liked the graphic style.

Sometimes the aliens would fall down a killing chasm, but this would not decrease the "aliens remaining" counter.

The rocket jumping was a bit hard to control.

pi_pi3 2015-08-24 14:12

@Somnium Monster counter not decreasing when aliens fall in the pit was fixed in the most recent bugfix

raducumiczzz 2015-08-24 14:52

Didn't work for me either on Mac:( will get back to you maybe it will work later on!

josho 2015-08-24 14:54

I didnt see a jar file win i unzipped it just a .rar file

mister_melon 2015-08-24 15:16

I wasn't able to run it sorry.

patvanmackelberg 2015-08-24 15:16

I got to the bazooka and it crashed - It was a very neat concept though!

crypto137 2015-08-24 15:28

x64 build didn't work for me, but I managed to run the x86 one.

I really liked watch-looking UI. The controls were a bit clunky, and pointing the gun to the left looked odd. The rocket jump thing wasn't communicated well in the game, making it a bit frustrating.

Overall I thought the graphics were nice, but the gameplay could use some work. And even after completing the game I still don't think the game fits the theme too well.

philstrahl 2015-08-24 15:57

Can't run neither x64 nor x32 version on my System, doubleclick on the .jar does nothing (Windows 10 x64; JRE installed)

hyoga-3d 2015-08-24 16:38

It's a little broke, bu I love the watch!!! xD

sergicollado 2015-08-24 16:41

Sorry, I wasn't able to get this to run.

kinggames 2015-08-24 17:29

I can't play. It starts for a second and it closes. I think it's an exception of some sort, but I haven't checked to see what the exception could be.

yrr 2015-08-25 20:46

Crashes when I get the rocket launcher :(

mechanicmoon 2015-08-25 22:09

I think that the game is a bit broken.. but nice try and the art is very cool :-)

01101101 2015-08-26 09:50

Can't rate it since I can't play it:
"Could not find or load main class theMonster_mpl-x64_bugfix1.jar"

kaype 2015-08-26 19:12

I like the low file size <3

the game runs really, really, really fast for me. Like WebFreak001 said there's one space that's impossible to jump off of.

I don't like how the pixelart is inconsistently scaled, but the game is good.

ultraval 2015-08-27 14:40

The 64bit build doesn't work for me (Failed to set 44100hz, got 48000 instead). Let me know when works :)

pi_pi3 2015-08-27 17:32

@reiknight That bug is not related, I'm not even gonna fix it in this game. Have you tried compatibility mode if you're on win8 or win10?

el_cabaro 2015-08-27 20:48

A neat game but unfortunately it just crashes once you grab the bazooka.

rhy3756547 2015-08-27 21:12

Game needs java 1.7. Stop living in the passstttt

heyzeus 2015-08-27 21:13

Awesome game, love the cover art.

riverandrun 2015-08-27 21:21

64 bit version didn't launch at all (on a 64 based system) and the in the x86 version there were no graphics :( . Win8, Java Runtime 1.8 installed.

retrogradeorbit 2015-08-28 13:26

Didn't run on linux x64.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/uniraptor/ld33/Game : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

pi_pi3 2015-08-28 14:04

@retrogradeorbit You might have an older version of Java. It was compiled on JRE 1.8.0_60-b27. Anything >= than this should work

electron 2015-08-28 14:31

Good ! innovating ,,,,

eldan_knight 2015-08-28 15:39

Same problem, it didn't work on my computer :-/

ilikescifi 2015-09-01 13:18

The boxshot is awesome!

strike 2015-09-04 16:48

It crashes on the 32bit version on Windows7 when picking up the rocket launcher :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

But I see great potential for this game and I wish I could play more.
