It makes me so sad when I see him crying like that... :'( Great job on the assets. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I really love the concept too, a ghost afraid of the dark. That's just a wonderful idea. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Only thing I would like to see to make it possible to avoid the monsters. Right now as a player, I just feel like it's something I have no control over. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Loved it though, cheers"},{"author_name":"GSM Productions","author_uid":"16481","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 10:34am","epoch":1377599340,"text":"Great job! Arrow keys did not work (had to remap my keyboard because I am on azerty so WASD is hard :D), but after that smooth sailing!\r<br\/>I love the arcadey feeling of the game, it is paced just right, and I love the coherence of the graphic style (maybe the sun is a bit out of place, but then again it is easier to spot that way). The music felt also really appropriate. All in all, great job, and very cool idea that fits very well with the theme and scale of the game!"},{"author_name":"brodavi","author_uid":"8067","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 5:48pm","epoch":1377625380,"text":"Couldn't run this game: Exception in thread &quot;main&quot; java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: gespenst\/GespenstGame : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0"},{"author_name":"brodavi","author_uid":"8067","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 12:53am","epoch":1377650880,"text":"oh I see. yeah I still use Java 6"},{"author_name":"whiteravens","author_uid":"23106","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 6:52am","epoch":1377672420,"text":"The game does not run for me :( (Windows 7), I have Java.
