I think Windows link gives back Linux code?

The game is Java, so its the same download for all platforms
after unzipping you should be able to double-click the .jar file, and the game will launch.

OK. My bad. It runs, but just shows a blank screen after I select to start the game...

I can't play it! I didn't manage to press play in the menu...keyboard didn't work ;(

Can't play on Windows: Same thing as @helloserve.

Well, thats a shame, bad votes for me I think!

I got 1 pretty old windows machine at home and it worked there...
I did notice that after pressing play (with the SPACE key) it took a while to load (with a blank screen) but i guess i've failed in my multi platform support.
I'm afraid I haven't really got the time to fix this in the near feature.

Damn man - I really wanted to play this. Will try again - maybe the load just takes ages...

Ey, cool game you have there :)

Same as helloserve - blank screen after start ame

Would have loved to try this one out, but I am using Windows, and the same blank screen remains after starting it:

keyboard doesn't work at main menu

On Win Vista and getting to the title menu, but pressing continue breaks it. Although I'm not a fan of your button mapping choices (select with space/back with ESC rub me a bit weird), but it was showing a lot of mood and promise. Sad I didn't get to play it. :(

The game is cool, but very easy, at least for the 2 days and half I was killing three zombies at once when they lined properly ;-)

Nice menu, but didn't work after choosing start game.

Have Win7 and Java 1.6.0_30

I have windows 7 64 bit and loaded/started the jar. the game displays the main menu and I can read the "story" (xD) and the controls. trying to start the game leads to a gray screen and nothing happens... same thing as others told

Hmm...seems that I can run the application just fine, but when I hit start, the window blanks to grey and nothing is drawn.
I'm on Windows 7 32 if that helps :)

faijdherbe, the problem is here:

J:\temp\ld48 games\ZedSurvivor>java -jar ZedSurvivor.jar
init
loaded level: 10000 - java.awt.Dimension[width=100,height=100]
start
Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Component must have a valid peer
at java.awt.Component$FlipBufferStrategy.flip(Unknown Source)
at java.awt.Component$FlipBufferStrategy.show(Unknown Source)
at net.faijdherbe.zedsurvivor.Engine.doGameLoop(Engine.java:108)
at net.faijdherbe.zedsurvivor.ZedLauncher.run(ZedLauncher.java:66)

What this means is that you can't get the buffer strategy for a component until it is visible. I'm guessing your game loop starts running before your frame, or the contained components (a panel?) are displayed. To fix it, run the rendering for your game after setVisible(true);

Regards, a fellow Java developer. :)

I enjoyed this game quite a bit. The pace is nice, it's good play something that isn't breakneck fast from time-to-time. :) Had some silliness with bullet collision (I could kill many zombies per bullet as long as I clumped them up before I shot).

I has Windows, Y U NO WORK?!

I don't' own Mac computer, but it looks interesting!

Very good. 5 stars for mood. Were there crates of ammo? The shotgun and M4 run out rather quickly! Kill 589 before I gave up!

@GingerMess thanks! I'll try and fix it this afternoon!

I've uploaded a new build which hopefully enables windows users to play the game. Also fixed a bug which caused players to get stuck in objects.
Both fixes are pretty nasty hacks and i hope they work :)

I was playing on 32-bit win7 so its working over here.

Its very atmospheric, the small greyscale screen makes me feel isolated from my avatar.

I found that sometime my bullets hit the zombie hitbox when they clearly missed the sprite.

Tested it after the fix and it works. Solid game, but could have used some variation :)

Its a shame there is not any sound: The controls seem to be a bit sticky so running to a specific direction, and then turning again is a bit annoying at times.

nice work! I would have loved some sound and ability to fire on an angle. awesome day/night cycle and progressive difficulty. I like the weapon variety too. Cool stuff!

Decent, but could have been a lot better. I found the controls annoying (only being able to move in a single direction) and I forgot that you needed to press X to pick up items rather than just walking into them - so everything just seemed like background to me. The biggest problem, though, is that I never got hit after 6 minutes of play, even with only the worst gun. Needs more difficulty for sure.
