Looks great, but I couldn't review because it ran too slowly.

Loved it. A little on the hard side, though. Also, it took me a while to figure the clothes make a difference.
Frisson when the music started and "she hit him again". I too didn't catch the theme (one chance? rapture?), but the mood was great, the text well written and the mechanics used wisely.
Also froze my computer. Windows 8 64 bit, `java -version` reports "1.7.0_13". Maybe it has to do with the way you packaged it?
Interesting idea. Too hard to guess the commands, so I had to cheat and look at the source. Doesn't do much, though.
Good game, but the mechanics are strange. The last vaccine batch is more expensive and gives you less, while you have an incentive to let people get infected to get more money.... Is that a critic or a bug?
Good game. Nice items are hard to handle, like the spatula, because it's not immediately clear where the actual cursor is. Nice difficulty, really made me feel like an one armed chef in a busy day.
The difficulty ramps up a bit too quick, but it is a great little game. It was interesting to take each shot carefully, and later just spray everything and buy time.
Loved the false mechanic at the ending. When I tried to visit the page again, I got another surprise as it silently saved my "progress". Great game.
Never saw anything like it. The controls are sensitive, but I think it is part of the challenge. Well chosen difficulty. Stretching the theme a bit.
Thanks braindx and Jack, it's fixed now.
The source has support for a lot of variation in the levels, I just didn't around to create any missions that used it. If the ball is slow and the enemies are extra bouncy, for example, spinning in a tight circle won't help.
Well, maybe next time.
I used the shovel on the fields, got seeds, but pressing space/enter doesn't seem to do anything. Am I missing something?
