Waiting Simulator *aka. Snowman Roll* by tyty5949

[raw]
made by tyty5949 for LD31 (COMPO)
Waiting Simulator is really just a game about a guy waiting. Oh, and he plays another game called Snowman Roll on his "single" phone screen. You are really just playing The Entire Game on One cell phone Screen. It is a pretty basic and short game when you get down to it, but I was only able to spend about 12 hours total on it. I'm still pretty happy with the way I was able to pull it off.

Controls: Flick the mouse up and down WHILE HOLDING THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON to move the character up and down. Press the escape key to pause during the game.

NOTE: This game does require a few gigs of free RAM. It loads really, really uncompressed video in. I apologize but if it keeps crashing, there is nothing I can do at the time being.

Debug:
If the running the .jar file does not work then run the "DEBUG" file. If the debug file still does not work then run the "RUN IF DEBUG DOES NOT WORK" file. (Only for windows)

Innovative use of the theme! It did crash a few times, but I stuck with it until I was able to play it. Clever!

Having trouble getting this to run but I really want to check it out! Tried running the Batch file but that didn't do anything to help. Here's what I get:

If anyone else gets the UnsupportedClassError Exception UPDATE to Java 8... It is required to run the game.

Can't get this to run. Debug file doesnt recognise "java" as a command and the JAR wont run. :(

It anyone else gets the 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Either install Java 8 64bit or run the 32bit batch file included in the zip download of the game.

Yeah I got it! I wished there was such a nice intro when I win as it was when I started the game haha :D Game worked fine on OS X 10.10.1. I made it into the goal at 3rd approach. Needed to raise mouse sensitivity. Nice game ;)

Ok, I am a step further.. I uninstalled and re-installed Java and I can now get it to start!... but after the loading bar, the window closes and nothing happens. Sorry for all the problems! :/

Lol, besides the stupidly large uncompressed video, this was actually quite amusing. Lack of quality gameplay, but hey, it's a waiting simulator after all. This is also exactly the kind of game people would play while waiting, lol.

Wish you had more different videos of you saying random crap :D

Don't tell me you purposely left the video uncompressed so that we would have to wait longer for the download and the game startup. SO META
