Defender by MatejaS
This is my game for LD31!
I'm very pleased with how I made it because I'm 13, so I'm still practising! :)
EDIT: Fixed bug when some of the variables don't reset when game played multiple times without exiting.

When I open it, it says "A Java Exception has occurred"
@Louisload, what version of JDK are you using?
@hadesfurry, you can't :D...I haven't realised that until it was too late :(
Would have loved some gun sounds.
Keep up the good work.
@Skills641 try to update your JDK :)
Otherwise it's a really fun game. =)
Congrats, dude!
1) The bullets seem a bit slow, making it hard to hit TNT or ammo boxes when they are far away; making them faster however could potentially make them too hard to dodge and the gameplay too chaotic. Maybe make it so you can shoot the parachute as well and not just the box? That way things would be a bit easier to hit. (Maybe I just suck at aiming though.)
2) The gun seems to fire a bit higher than the mouse cursor. You can get used to it after a while, but coupled with the slow bullets and small targets this can lead to some problems early on :P
The only real issue I ran into is running out of bullets...at that point you have basically lost the game, since you need to shoot the ammo crates to get more bullets, which you can't do when you're out of bullets :D
All in all a very fun game with a solid execution and nice attention to detail. Good job!
You are right about the quibbles, but I think they make the game what it is :) (I could have made it better, though).
About the running out of bullets, I wanted to make the plane drop a box with ammo just above you when it happens, but didn't have time :(
I really wish you had added some sound.
@Dans17, what do you mean by inaccurate?
