The collision detection is quite glitchy, and it takes forever to quit. Also doesn't have a built-in way to quit; I had to use Alt+F4. :(

Which version of Java do you use? This was written and compiled with JDK7.
Also, you could give me more detail on the error.
Yeah, part of the idea was that you should figure out the mechanics. The animations would really have made the effects clearer.
So, here goes:
1. The color of the cursor determines what it can grab.
2. A colored dot will change the color of the cursor.
3. Pushing a block into one with the same symbol and opposing color makes them disappear.
4. Pushing any block against a block with a square switches their colors.
5. Similarly, the cross block switches symbols.
6. Vortex block cycles through the colors.
7. Changes are applied in order, starting at the pushing block.
Many of the levels contain unnecessary components, and they're all pretty easy, but I enjoyed it anyway.
Maybe the difficulty should ramp up a bit quicker. I got bored when my HP reached 200 and my bombs reached 20, because it was clear that zombies stood no chance.
Nifty!
A bit like cellular automata, but it's more like masses of environment-aware agents.
Quite fun. Try constraining the mouse to the window?
Pretty good, but very, very easy.
Definitely needs to mention that you only need to shoot the aliens that will actually touch the Earth.
And "possible to win" doesn't actually mean that "Easy" is easy. Maybe it should be "Hard", "Harder" and "Hardest"? :)
I ran the Windows version, but it says that it is not a valid Win32 application.
Tricky!
Turns out love.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
I'm on Windows XP.
Lots of style, but not much else. I guess you win at minimalism. :j
Cool idea.
