Hmmm... just doesn't want to open for me. I'm on XP 32, if that makes a difference.

Hi! Sorry aeveis, I think it doesn't work with 64-bit. CherryNukaCola have you tried to execute from a command line? Tell me the error and I hope I can help you :).

We will upload a new version with Java 6 and compatibility with 64bits. By the way, this version should work in x64 with Java JRE 7 32bits.

Sorry for the current problems with the executable.

We are having problems with the new jar, because we want to do it compatible with linux as well. By the way, I confirm that there is no problem in Windows 7 Professional 64-bit if you use the JRE 7 32-bit.

There is now a new version for Java 6, please if you don't have Java 7, try this one.

It worked for me, I'm on windows xp with Java 7.

Are you using any Java 7 features? If not, you should consider sticking with Java 6 until more people have 7.

As for the game, the idea was fun, but the game seemed too unfair to really draw me in. I did really like the multiple death screens though. But you do have a working platform, which is great work for 48 hours.

And since this is java, why not offer it as an applet or a webstart? You'd definitely get more votes and comments. I offer free Java hosting at http://StaticVoidGames.com, which is a site that helps you create those versions automatically. Might be worth checking out.

Got a whole pile of "bit depth" exceptions, but it still ran. "Normal" was very difficult, but it seems like there are some collision bugs, so I didn't die so easily sometimes. I did get stuck below the bottom teeth at point as well. Innovative idea, but could use some bugfixes and some play balancing.
