Could you make a bit bigger description? I don't really understand what's happening. I go out for a walk in the park, and E starts flashing, I push it, and I get a wooden spoon from the grass? :smile:

owen-davies 2018-08-14 20:25

@tudvari the description has been updated, however the game also has a tutorial introduction, maybe it should have been more clear.

I like the idea, but on Mac it's crashing after a minute or so :(

swini 2018-08-14 23:36

Interesting idea with the prision. I like hte sprite animation. It's funny. I was for 1 second in someones cell and after leaving it the whole building was full of peopleXD Good game could play it longer:)

owen-davies 2018-08-14 23:43

@jessifin can you send me a crash report from the console?

owen-davies 2018-08-14 23:43

@swini thanks for the comment, yeah the randomness of the prison is fun. Enjoy the game, find the way to win!

I can't start the game. I have a message box with "A Java Exception has occured." (yeah, that's a realy usefull information). What is the lowest java version needed to play your game ?

owen-davies 2018-08-14 23:50

@larnin I made it in java 8, so that may be causing an issue, can you try opening it through console and telling me what it is saying

larnin 2018-08-15 00:02

@owen-davies "Erreur : Impossible de trouver ou charger la classe principale Countdown v1.jar" In english, it's something like: "Unable to find or load the main class of Countdown v1.jar" Tested with java 1.7.0_67 and 1.8.0_25

owen-davies 2018-08-15 00:40

hmm

owen-davies 2018-08-15 00:41

@larnin I will check it out, but no clue

leviathon 2018-08-15 01:31

hi the game crashed for me as well. i get the feeling this is a spinoff from the game the escapists really cool

rexpeppers 2018-08-15 01:36

liked the diversity of the inmates, interesting game

owen-davies 2018-08-15 01:36

@leviathon, not an intentional sequel but yeah it has that feel

owen-davies 2018-08-15 01:38

thanks @rexpeppers

The art style is interesting, but the game itself is a complete mystery to me. I've tried it four times and I still have no idea what to do. Do I need to find a certain combination of items? I noticed I can select an item using keys 1-3, but there isn't any way to actually use them. If I stay outside, sometimes my items are not taken away at midnight. Also - damn, I don't know where this prison is located, but it's already dark as hell by 2pm. **:P**

owen-davies 2018-08-16 22:10

@suve yeah, your aim is to get the right 3 items. Yeah, the item selection was a part of the original idea. Yeah its in the Antarctic, gets dark really quickly (Let's go with that at least).
