$ java ld33_osx-x64.jar
=> Error: Could not find or load main class ld33_osx-x64.jar
Sincerelly I didn't enjoy the gameplay very much. The controls were very twitchy, rocket jumping was very hard to do (and I had to come read the description to figure out I needed to rocket jump) and constantly having to manually reload your weapon (specially the rocket launcher) was very fustrating.
Visually it's a decent game. It's just that the gameplay needs some work.
Sometimes the aliens would fall down a killing chasm, but this would not decrease the "aliens remaining" counter.
The rocket jumping was a bit hard to control.
I really liked watch-looking UI. The controls were a bit clunky, and pointing the gun to the left looked odd. The rocket jump thing wasn't communicated well in the game, making it a bit frustrating.
Overall I thought the graphics were nice, but the gameplay could use some work. And even after completing the game I still don't think the game fits the theme too well.
"Could not find or load main class theMonster_mpl-x64_bugfix1.jar"
the game runs really, really, really fast for me. Like WebFreak001 said there's one space that's impossible to jump off of.
I don't like how the pixelart is inconsistently scaled, but the game is good.
