Mutants by se1by

[raw]
made by se1by for LD24 (JAM)
It's a early alpha to show what I've done so far.
WEBSTART CURRENTLY BROKEN!
To run it with windows, extract the zip and run mutants.exe (or mutants.jar).For linux users: just run mutants.jar, it should work.
Coming:
- more Levels
- more enemies
- better sprites
- DNA research to know what to update
- upgrade system for you and your enemies
- destroy one update by winning a minigame

I finally finished a post-compo.
I added a score and health notice to the game, also music!
It's a great 8 bit track from http://ozzed.net/music/8-bit-Empire.shtm
I fixed an animationbug.
Big thanks for helping me with this goes to my friend marco.

I'm sorry, I'll fix it asap.
There will also a post-compo version for the ones who are interested what I really intended to do but wasn't able due lack of time (coming approx. the next few days).

Running OS/X Mountain Lion w/ java 1.6.0-33

Wasn't able to start the game (webstart was broken as you said) and I got the following error by running "java -jar mutants_run.jar":

You are using java 6, but it's compiled with java 7.
I'll upload a java6 version.

Well, there's not much gameplay here, but maybe you're onto something. If the monsters eat me, I can quit or return to game - that's kinda strange. Some indication that I'm killing the enemies would be nice (I didn't see any score counter and they just vanish). Highscore option doesn't seem to work (just a blank screen). Well - the game works, so it's not bad for an early alpha. Continue working on this, I'd like to see some post-compo version.

@marudziik:
Thanks, it feels really good to know that some people care about the stuff you do, reading your post makes me really happy :)
I will totally finish this game, even if it takes some time until everything is like I want.
Just leave a comment here if you miss a feature or something like that, I'll see if I can implement it.
Remember: I did it all for you ;)
I finally uploaded a post-compo.
It's compatible with java6 and got a few bugfixes and new features, even when I wasn't able to make it perfect in time.
More updates will come - make sure to check this site from time to time.

I tried to run your game on Linux, but it didn't work.
Here is the error log:
