Due to school, I ran out of time and  was unable to add action feedback. Just remember to check the item equipped before doing something important with it. It is intentional for tree sprouts to be trampled, but I didn't realise how likely people are to trample the sprouts. As for F12, I noticed that too late to fix it. I will put up a video soon on how to defeat the boss so people can see if they have trouble. These bugs have already been fixed for a Post Ludum Dare version."},{"author_name":"Drabiter","author_uid":"8337","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 12:47pm","epoch":1346244120,"text":"&quot;CAUTION: THE GAME WILL CRASH IF YOU NAVIGATE AWAY FROM THE WINDOW&quot; Im kinda scared when playing, try to not click outside ;D"},{"author_name":"demonpants","author_uid":"531","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 7:01am","epoch":1346309760,"text":"Trying on Mac OS X:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If you're using LWJGL you need to include those libraries and use an sh to launch the jar with those in the classpath.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>8\/30\/12 12:00:17.372 AM [0x0-0xa44a44].com.apple.JarLauncher: Exception in thread &quot;main&quot; java.lang.NullPointerException\r<br\/>8\/30\/12 12:00:17.373 AM [0x0-0xa44a44].com.apple.JarLauncher: \tat org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11.glEnable(GL11.java:1001)\r<br\/>8\/30\/12 12:00:17.373 AM [0x0-0xa44a44].com.apple.JarLauncher: \tat heroesgrave.evolution.main.Main.init(Main.java:195)\r<br\/>8\/30\/12 12:00:17.373 AM [0x0-0xa44a44].com.apple.JarLauncher: \tat heroesgrave.evolution.main.Main.&lt;init&gt;(Main.java:55)\r<br\/>8\/30\/12 12:00:17.373 AM [0x0-0xa44a44].com.apple.JarLauncher: \tat heroesgrave.evolution.main.Main.main(Main.java:238)"},{"author_name":"HeroesGrave","author_uid":"13812","time":"Aug 31, 2012 @ 6:11am","epoch":1346393160,"text":"Demonpants, as cross-posted on JGO, for the benefit of the people reading this, I say this:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>That was caused by an ignored Exception.
