I really enjoyed this game. I liked that it actually turned the screen against you. However, because I have two monitors, the game turned out kind of weird. It took a screen capture of my entire two monitor desktop and then shrunk it onto one of my desktops. I realize this is probably a limitation in Java, and it is a really cool game regardless.
On Linux, the text about laps remaining and such didn't show up. Otherwise, I liked the collisions and even though the driving physics was a little odd, I liked the friction and slowdown. Pretty cool. I also really thought it was cool that there was the one screen mode and then also a closer view. That's a cool approach.
The Linux link downloaded an sh file for me, but I couldn't view its contents, it kept just crashing Scratch(text editor) for me. I ran the OSX version with the jar file instead and it worked great.
This game is great! The only possible problem I encountered is that once you get a bunch of turrets, and they start getting you lots of credits, you can buy a bunch more turrets and quickly win. Regardless, I think this is a great game.
Thanks, guys. I was initially going to put in a working power, Start, and Sound button, but I didn't in the end. Maybe I'll add that in a later version or something :D
Oh yeah, I meant it to do that. Now that I think about it, a normal game wouldn't do that. I just made the score either add one or subtract one, depending on if you hit it or not, so that's where that came from. Thanks for checking it out.
@Cake&Code Haha, yeah Java 8 is all I had, but I gotta recompile sometime because it runs on 7 and 6 fine when recompiled. I removed the humour category now, I missed that.
@CodeNMore For some reason I made it so that when you hit the ball successfully, it adds one point, and if you don't hit the ball it removes a point. If you end up missing more than you hit, the score will end up negative.
Thanks for checking out my game guys. :D
I like that the one screen theme was fit into being trapped on one screen kind of. That was cool. I liked this game.
I made a game similar to this screen type, but I didn't put so much detail into mine. I really liked it. However, when I lost and the customer got angry, the game froze. This might just be a problem with my computer because I'm running Linux, but if not, I hope that helps. :D
Your game looks really good, but I couldn't figure out how to run it. I downloaded the source from github, but I'm not skilled with python. I was hoping you might tell me how to run it. Thanks.
Cool, thanks, I'll check it out right now :D
Well it looks like I was missing pygame, but I got that installed. However, when I ran it it gave me an error (included below). Thanks for helping me run this. :D

Cool, thanks.
I finally played this game. I forgot about it. I really like the concept of too many cooks in the kitchen. Really cool!
This game was pretty good. However, are the coins supposed to move every repaint of the screen? The coins were teleporting all over my screen and it was lagging up because of it haha. :D Overall, this game has a pretty good feel, I liked it.
The game wouldn't run for me on linux. I ran "java com/kalman98/Main". It would load up the JFrame and put a picture akin to the screenshot you have, but it wouldn't do anything past that. I might look into the code and see if I can get it to run :D
My mistake, it runs just fine. The only problem was that half of the time it wouldn't load the JPanel for some reason. It's probably a glitchy Linux thing though. Looks good so far.
I like that the game dynamically changes the enviroment. That is very cool.
I really like the music. The instructions seem complicated at first, but they're not all too bad. I really liked this game though.
