It ends with legs, isn't it?

Good work. I like the idea of a robot walking around to search for is own components, but you can't use 32.4 MB just for the intro sound.
Most people don't like to download so big files.

Here my feedback:
- use another zipping format than 7z (I had no problems, but I know that not everybody has programs to open all formats), just .zip-it
- sad, that you had not the time to make more gameplay or more levels than two screens
- enemies are not a threat, if you can attack them from range
- the R oder T button restores the health, why?
- powerups (except a first one) should be a reward for doing something instead of getting them for free

Does the game end once you get your legs, or is there a way to jump? It looks as though you ran out of time.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I had accidently left some sounds files in there that are useless, They have been removed.

The R was to be for re-charging your battery in later levels to help game flow, you can recharge for for a score penalty.

I've changed the link to a ZIP file (same game just zipped)

Yes it ends when you get legs, I ran out of time for level design, spent too much time on code

By the way, your download link doesn't appearing.

^^ Fixed, sorry, apparently because I missed the Http:// it wouldnt show up

Running linux. Didn't work with java -jar LudumDare24.jar

could be a nice start to an adventure game!

josefnpat could you tell me what the error was? like was it no lwjgl exception or something?

I cant get this to work, the window opens and then it immediately closes, im on windows xp, and my javas up yo date.

Uncomfortably I don't have an XP machine to test this on, i've only tested it with x64 windows.

if you open a command promp window from the folder where the LudumDare24.jar file is and type java -jar LudumDare24.jar then you can tell me what the error is, it could be that its missing a .dll or that your java isnt up to date.

I meant Unfortunately* not Uncomfortably...

Anyway I updated some Native Libraries for winx32 macosx and linux

Good work on the game. Although it's not complete, I think it's a great concept for a game. You should definitely try and finish it!

As a side note, you could reduce your download size by only including the libraries and natives you need: lwjgl.jar, jogg.jar, jorbis.jar, slick.jar, all the native dlls except for the jinput ones (they're used for controller input, not keyboard+mouse).

Unfortunately I am unable to run this game. I get a version error (I made sure I had the latest version of Java installed). The specific error I had is:

Could not find the main class: ludumdare24.LudumDare24. Program will exit.

you have to have the latest version of java installed. I'm pretty sure thats why you are getting that error. Its compiled with the JDK 7 so you need the latest JRE.

Thanks EnigmaBlade, its my first time packaging a game for distribution and people are getting all these errors, but thanks for helping me cut down space :)

Please include the "java -jar LudumDare24.jar" for convenience :). Good idea, tis a shame the resulting game is so short. Would really enjoy playing the extended version.

Cool idea. Could see it becoming a lot of fun with more interesting abilities and challenges. Having informative quizzes is a nice touch. Maybe develop it as an educational game?

thanks man :)

Interesting game, too short though :/

I know, I do apologise, It's my first Ludum Dare / attempt at making a decent game. so I intend to be much more productive next LD :)

This was a great almost adventure game!

Thanks, I appreciate it
