I'll install a java runtime tonight to play this, it looks wild and I'm excited to try -> I'll get back to you after I do so.

This game was riot! So much visual stimulation and chaos. I loved it! Great job with the art, music, and SFX!

Sorry, no Java on my PC and I'd like to keep it that way. Why do you have three different jars per architecture? Isn't not needing that the sole idea of Java?

Very fun little game, a lot of chaos!

It's hard to understand what is going on most of the time, on the boss level other people just formed a line going diagonally from one corner to the opposite one and I felt singled out since he only shot at me.

@endurion I'm not sure. The option was available to compile them for the different architectures, and the file size is cut in half comparatively.

I finally played your game! It's got a bizarre flavor that's hard to place, but I like the strangeness of it. I feel like with lots of time you'd make a strange little world I'd get lost in. I died a few times but I'm getting better at picking my battles. Solid effort!

Well... That was... Unforgettable

The clap animation is adorable. I got a gun. This is the best. This tastes terrible. This is the best. This tastes terrible. This is the best. This tastes terrible. This is the best. This tastes terrible. This is the best. This tastes terrible. Victory woas hard

I finished a commanderstitch game! :)

A lot of fun, and thanks to the persistent collection, much more forgiving than some of your past games. Excellent work!

Hah, I just noticed everything that's printed to the terminal! I won't spoil it here, nice touch :)

wouter52 2025-10-12 13:32

The terminal is funny indeed, just a fun way to debug also I think? This game was less chaos than I'm used to from a commanderstitch game, I liked it. Just saw the speedlapse, you even created your own font? That's so cool!

I endend up in positive score, so I was doing well, right? :) Funny voiceovers as always, hilarious printouts, and also great music! Starwars tune + that menu music were done super well! Why I was hearing "I'm hobbit" all the time? It has to be something different :D Hobbits like to eat bread, though. I suppose... at least Lembas bread, hm, was it Lembas bread? Lot of questions here... I slapped them by my wig anyway. Just for the case.

I really enjoyed diving into Rastic Rush, it has such an energetic and distinct feel! The little tips in your description were super helpful for getting into the rhythm of things, especially knowing to wait through that ONE level load. Great job getting it all working and putting together such a unique experience for the jam!

A really fun game, a very unique creative project! I loved how the guy gets squished when you press the spacebar :)

khaotom 2025-10-14 15:58

Awesome mood. Love the wraparound edges. Hard game but just get stronger.

kit-gorn 2025-10-14 16:14

I liked it. I made it all the way to the end. Although the last level took a really long time to load.

d3kryption 2025-10-15 20:02

JAVA?!? Haha nice! First Java game I've played since MC haha I love the paint ascetic. It works so well. Great idea! :D

Won with -114988. Don't know what it means, but it was a trippy experience!

Tried on my Linux laptop, and it crashed before I could get the gun (ran out of memory and my OS closed it). So retried on my PC and it worked great there.

Also love the terminal output, it's insane and wonderful and I strive to make my terminal output as wonderful as yours.

Cool! A sub-25 for humor, very well deserved! Congratz! 🥳
