Found the reason why it can't read the settings data. It's the way the scanner reads (decimal-)numbers.
See: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Scanner.html#localized-numbers
By default the scanner uses the locale reported by the OS and as my OS is set to german (usage of '.' and ',' switched) the scanner expects '1,0' as a decimal number.
Just add 'scanner.useLocale(Locale.US);' or any other preferred locale directly after creating the scanner and it shouldn't care for the OS locale anymore.

The game can load external maps. There are instructions about it in the wiki of my linked github source repository.

@B try to start it in the Terminal with "java -jar energized.jar".
If it show an error like "Unsupported major.minor version 51.0" your installed Java version is to old. Install a newer one or try this download: http://mibbiodev.de/download/ld26/java16/energized.jar

About the energy: the light/color pulse indicates the level. The weaker the pulse the lower your energy.
The intention of this minimal information is that the player should find a good balance between depleting a charging station for recharge or leave it as backup and transfer energy to unlock doors.

Try to launch it with "java -jar energized.jar" in the command prompt. If there are any error you will see it there.

Thanks for the feedback so far. I know, the controls are a bit "special". It's caused by a bug i couldn't fix without wasting to much time.
Currently i'm working on a post-compo version of the game - including better controls.
