Crappy Bird by Devon L. Steyn

[raw]
made by Devon L. Steyn for LD 42 (JAM)

A very small game made in pure Java for Ludum Dare 42 in 48 hours!

In this game, you play as an angry city citizen that had a really bad day, and all of a sudden the birds start to crowd all around him as if he's food or something! He gets so mad, that he brings out the big guns (literally) and starts to shoot at the seemingly innocent creatures. You may have a gun, but the birds have something else: Their FECES. You have to avoid their fecal matter at all times due to it being TOXIC enough to kill a person dead! You start with 100 health and no score. Your main objective is to kill of as many birds as you can, whilst still maintaining a beating heart!

There is no real "win condition", you just have to beat your own highscore(s) until you're satisfied!

Please report any bugs if you find any, thanks a lot for playing; and I cannot wait to play your games! See you next LD! =)

@crispypin That's odd, because everyone else that's tested the game says it starts fine. Are you sure you've got the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on your PC?

@devon-l-steyn I couldn't run it either. I tried with "java -jar runnable.jar" and it gave me a message saying that it had been compiled already with a newer version of Java. To prevent this in the future, try making it an exe, or pack a redistributable version of Java along with the code.

@sixbeeps Whoops, sorry about these issues. I had actually tried to use Launch4j to convert the .jar into a .exe, but for some reason it wouldn't launch. But don't worry, I will make sure to use your advice next time; sorry for the inconvenience.

@devon-l-steyn No, you're perfectly fine. I have heard about Launch4j, but haven't really used it. Which version of Java did you use? I might be able to play it.

@sixbeeps Thanks! The JDK I used to create this game is the JDK 10. (According to my Eclipse project)
