Nice Game, hard to play.
I just get a black screen in the game window - QWERY version. - Linux (Ubuntu 17.10)
java details: ``` ~$ java -version openjdk version "1.8.0_162" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_162-8u162-b12-0ubuntu0.17.10.2-b12) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.162-b12, mixed mode) ```
@jason-kennedy The game has no loading bar, so it starts with a black screen then the menu pops up, Also did you let the assets folder in the same place than the .jar file ? Java is cross platform so you might not have problems with linux and I have the same java version than you. If you still have the problem then I think you will not be able to play it I dont know linux well. Hope this helped you !
Damn bro the whole game was written in Java obj orientated?
@matt-pattabhi Yes with no library, it's just pure java ;)
@Ludrak - I was talking with someone else on a Discord that their java game wouldn't even get that far (it through a stack trace immediately) and we think it has to do with the fact that I have using openJDK and most people are using Oracle's distribution of Java. He said that Oracle's distribution is a build of openJDK with a few non-FOSS Oracle bits added. Which might be the problem.
@jason-kennedy Oh okay, i understand better now... I dont know openJDK at all but I will check this now to see if there is a way to adapt my game to that build but I think this will be hard :(
The game is pretty fun! But hard to play in the beginning. A longer level with more music would also bring over the message more I think ;)
It was a bit frustrating at the beginning, car was always exploding, but once I got the hang of it (by always having the car angled up) it was enjoyable. Music was nice, just not much of it :)
Haha, I finally manage to finish it ! It was hard at the begining to figure out how to get the angle right. Pretty nice gameplay and audio. Good job for making everything from scratch !
@polegar @vasco-freitas @lamasaurus @extrone Thanks you all for playing my game and rating it !
@Ludrak - don't worry about it. I was thinking that I just need to get Oracle's not FOSS version of Java if I am going to try to play LDjam games.
Nice game and idea 5/5!!! Good Luck!
loads of fun enjoyed it
Wow, nice work making a game with basically nothing in a game jam setting, that takes a lot of nerve! I'm not sure if your stack is just hard mode or already masochism, but you did it anyway :thumbsup:.
The 2 separate downloads for different keyboard layouts are a 'unique' approach to configuration 🙃
Nice idea for the Theme, i want to try that level editor :)
Had a lot of trouble with the first part since I didn't read the instructions correcty and missed the SPACE=Jump part.... After that it was quite easy by holding D and S Keys down. Liked the concept but for improvement I would suggest an clearer instruction screen (bullet points instead of plain text) and maybe parts where slowing down or diffrent angle are required. But for the short amount of time and self made physics good work!
Gosh this is punishing hard! but fun once you get into it. A LOT of restarts just to get going. Good entry though, well done.
@yahialds I will publish the level editor soon but I have some bugs to correct with it and some graphical improvement because now it's a bit raw I just made it for one level and there is no saving, copy and pasting and that kind of things ^^
From the Start its so hard to play my car always explode 😢 but after more attempts i enjoyed it. The Art is good this kind of sprites are child friendly Good Job!!
To be honest this game is far too hard and takes way too long too be rewarding.. Might be fun if you slow down the start a whole lot. Can't really rate the sounds as all I heard was explosions.. :stuck_out_tongue:
Nice game, but that explosion took way too long! (At least on my computer.) I quickly wanted to have another try, but had to wait for 15 seconds after each 2 second attempt.. I ended up quitting and restarting the game in stead. :stuck_out_tongue: (When I did wait, and clicked 'Retry', I see 'Congratulations, you finished the level' and I have to click retry again...) The music starts to get nice, but I died too soon to be really able to enjoy it. I would like to hear more of it. After many tries I got 11 seconds.
