- It's fun. I played the whole game and enjoyed it :D
- The shooting and killing feels good. Haha, I mean the action-feedback of it.
- The lullaby music sounds incoherent with the concept of the game.
Two points I want to mention:
(1) NEVER map the main action key to 'z' without providing an easy way to change it. Many keyboards have QWERTZ or similar layouts.
(2) You would have made live easyer for most people if you provided a batchfile to start!
For people running into trouble:
Grab the version matching your system, unzip it and make sure you have Java installed.
To run, open a terminal to the file directory and point java to the native runtime libraries provided with the game, or ,in other words, run
java -Djava.library.path=./ -jar playgame.jar (*NIX)
Instead of ./ you may have to enter
- the absolute path on MacOS - at least mine sometimes gives me trouble when I try to run with ./
- Djava.library.path=.\ on Windows? Just a guess, though, you'll have to try that on your own. Shouldn't be too hard, though.
The best thing was definitely the music!
Thanks for that game!
When hundreds of people make non-browser games, that means that, to play all of the entries, I would need to download hundreds of games to my computer. I typically use OS X, so Windows-only entries are particularly inconvenient.
Please consider making a browser game next time.
You got something out though, so don't think I'm slagging your game off, just providing feedback!
Nice job.
I think the game would work better if there was a checkpoint (lost against the epic boss, did not want to replay the whole game) and the enemies could not run leave their rooms. One of the green bearded guys left his room, and I had to chase him, therefore his cool cave had no use.
But really liked the rest, though it did not fit the theme at all.
Besides, as the nazi enemies are shown as really stupid, there is no reason to ban it in Germany lol
Great game, a lot of fun. But um... how does it fit with the theme?
Good entry though.
I did not liked annoying low health sound and restarting from the beginning.
