This game is based on the stupidity of others contributing towards your success. You are a thief trying to get to the chest on every level but the Police have been tipped off! They can't, however, detect where walls are so maybe that could be used as an advantage? There are In-game instructions in the 'Help' option of the main menu.
Ok. Anotak, I've found the problem but unfortunately it is more than a typo so I can't fix it. Try replaying. The majority of the time it will work when re-opening the game. That is all the help I can give. :( I apologize.
BoxedMeatRevolution I have just tested the download on my Mac again and I couldn't find the problem you were describing. It was an existing problem for the downloads a short time ago. Can you re-download again to see if it works? If it doesn't then try re-opening the application.
It downloaded, but wouldn't run for me. Error log:

Works fine for me on OS X Mountain Lion. People couldnt play my game neither, so I recompiled using JDK 7, you should try this.
Game mechanics are cute, but the cop in the left room always get me :(
I tried this again, and it worked! Fun, I like the idea of a game where you win by tricking enemies into traps (in this case, rooms where they can't get to you from).
This game was really frustrating, there was no feedback from what was happening, sound effects even if they where from BFXR would of helped a lot, and adding particles to indicate damage would of helped clarify when you where being hit. Also if maybe once an officer damaged you it would freeze for a second or something, that way you could escape without just running in a straight line for a while.
Thank you p1x3lruckus for the feedback I did realize that some features where not in my engine but I'm adding them now so next time my game will be better. I like your idea about freezing to add more of a challenge. Thanks and I did have sound effects but they broke on export. Another problem I need to fix. :/
