GOTY edition worth the 10 invisi-pounds, would play for 10 seconds again, 10/10.
Love the explosion, lost intentionally the second time. XD

Looks like an interesting concept, though I got stuck on the second bit where you need to move crates through the portal thing. I seemed to not be able to get back out of the room.
I suggest saying what the controls are either in-game or on here, I didn't know how to play so I didn't play it. Also, the game goes off the bottom of my screen, I suggest putting the entire game withing this:
<div style="overflow:scroll">
-stuff-
</div>
That way, if the game is bigger than the window, it will add scroll bars. I haven't used HTML in a few months, but that should work.
178 first try. (smug)
Game is a bit big for my window, and the acceleration feels a bit odd. Other than that, nice game.
Uh...check that your drivers are up to date? Never seen that problem before and I'm a bit busy right now, you should try googling it.
Ah, I updated the jar but didn't pack in the images, should be fixed now. See if that helps.
Doesn't sound right, but I have no mac to test it on. Try pressing spacebar to start, if it works then it's related to how macs buffer the video. If not, I don't know.
@Herro234 Yeah the theme did get a bit lost, initially the life would drip down and killing enemies restored it but then it would be easy for anyone remotely good.
@MetalAxe If you feel like it gets hard too quick, maybe try the no bullets difficulty. It should be a lot easier then. Also, I did want to add WASD controls, but I wanted to allow changing those controls, so in the end I settled with arrow keys because of other keyboards having other keys where WASD is.
@kunzbe You could try downloading it again. Also, you could try making a start.bat file in the same place, editing it with notepad to have "java -jar 'LD27 - 10 Seconds to live.jar'" in it, and running that instead. Apparently using java 6 might fix it too.
Just noticed game was compiled for java 7, it is now compiled for java 6.
@jujule Yeah, I can see why. I did add a tutorial to explain how to play and what everything is, but maybe the default spawn mode should have been something easier, like no bullet mode for instance.
Forgot to mention in previous post, I added a tutorial to the post comp version.
@Vaalen Always nice to hear! :3
Game looks good but I am unable to press play, it's off the bottom of my screen and the buttons ignore scrolling and act like they're where they used to be.
Game crashes when I press enter, would love to try but can't.
Just so you both know, right mouse makes the game 5x better. :P
If it's crashing a lot download this, put it in the same folder, and run using it:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13281778/LD31.bat
That should make it give an error I can use to fix the issue(s).
I wanted to add SFX, but the sound system would have taken too long. :<
Exactly what I needed solace, I'll have a fix rolled out. I also appreciate you constantly trying to make it work! :D
Also, does the map wall have gaps in it for you? Seems like it might based on the error.
See if that fixes the issue, solace.
Good, also that drop shot you did actually made me laugh IRL and start playing hardball! :P
The collision one was pretty funny too, you were basically like "Oh, that's the issue...FITE ME!".
That double-thrust one was the drop shot I think, just completely owned, at least until I started going for the spree! :3
Damnit, missed you by 10 minutes, was playing something else...
Moko, that's a very peculiar bug, I don't think I can fix that one. You could look up if you need a library?
I really didn't mean the start of the post like that. It was more that they weren't to my tastes, and I didn't want to vote with an opinion that was skewed in a way that disfavoured games that didn't really deserve it. I'm not exactly a word artist, even though my posts tend to take on the size of one.
I'm by no means stating that some of them are terrible, I simply judged by the appearance and text post for the games that they simply didn't seem like the kind of game I would be able to give a fair vote on.
I wouldn't go around saying point-and-click adventure games all suck because RPG FPS games are so much better, that IS rude and IS uncalled for. Instead, it's more "I want to avoid giving an opinion that is unfair to the author because I don't like that genre".
Before making that post I really tried to find games that seemed to me like I would find them interesting. If I recall correctly, about 30 of them looked interesting, but I've only voted on 12 because a number of the other ones weren't for windows (one was even android only, not sure how that expects to get many votes). However, maybe I should reconsider my approach to that, after all I mind find an unexpected gem hiding in the pile that I really enjoy.
As for the feedback, I can respond with the following:
- I wanted to include health bars on people, but was for some reason fixated on the idea of uncertainty
- The damage system is 100% based on velocity, which follows a (slightly) quadratic curve and encourages skilled charge shots that go really fast
- Jumps don't line up because the predictor doesn't account for horizontal drag, you can use left/right movement to counter-act it though
I went to bed about an hour before you tried, was extremely tired and it was like 6am for me then. I really need to find a temporary dedicated server for it so people can play it with friends.
Um...pretty sure I never had the needed servers up at around 5pm yesterday for you to be able to play...
I've been struggling to find the time to keep servers up because of christmas, they should be up now.
Giving you a poke since you wanted me to, the issue with my game should be fixed.
Just an fyi, the lose state doesn't work properly. I can just click again after the timer expires (or I click on the wrong one) and it keeps going.
