Improv Corp by jdselsor

THIS GAME DID NOT RUN A LAUNCH DON'T SCORE PLEASE LEAVE COMMENT SAYING WHAT IT WOULD SCORE SORRY ABOUT THAT THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEED BACK.

You play Chet a hipster working for the Improv Corp and the headquarters AI malfunction and he has to get out. There is one problem he has no way to fight the evil puffins with exception of his phone's app that fires a laser beam but that take up 1/5th of his battery. There are cute puffins that he can throw at the evil ones that will make them both fade out existence for a little bit. Chet must make it to the top of the Improv Corp HQ to escape.

This is one of the hardest things my team and I have worked on and we did not finish it to the extent we wanted but I proud of the effort that we put in on it and I plan on continuing it and add the things we wanted to add but ran out of time. Thank you for playing and Press 'I' to use your phones app and 'U' to throw cute puffins. I think that this was a good first Ludum Dare entry. We ask that you rate this project as honestly as you can please do not hold anything back. We want to find out ways to improve this game and better our skills.

This game need Java 1.7 to play. It was made with the LWJGL and Slick2d. The music is by Alexandr Zhelanov, https://soundcloud.com/alexandr-zhelanov found on opengameart.org

It's the same for me, can't launch the game.
It's seems like you named your images with capitals in their names but you're calling them without capitals in your code.

I hope you'll fix it, because every game deserves to be played.

Works for me too! The monsters are really fast though, which makes it hard to play sometimes. Also the character doesnt properly "stick" to the moving platforms, which is frustrating sometimes. I also figured out that jumping and running away are very effective :) perhaps this was not intended. Overall good job, feels very close to finished. Bloody hipsters.

I was able to run the game. Fun little platformer while it lasted. I was killed by an enemy three times before it closed on me. Also was tricked by the glowing tiles that fall down once you stepped on it, was pretty neat.

Not bad man! These Jams are hard, doing all this by yourself is impressive. I get the whole thing with bugs. It happens, don't sweat it!
