Hmm... It does not seem like it's showing up. I had the same issue when I was exporting my game into a jar. My issue was that I was getting my pictures using a relative path that went backwards. Hope that helps!

It's a java version mismatch, I recompiled it to be compatible with 1.7, so you should try again.

Gameplay feels a bit slow and a bit too easy. I'd up the difficulty and maybe make the acceleration upgrade increase your speed a bit more.

Very satisfying game. Desperately needs music though. Also should've been clearer in the instructions that the house is the shop. I got 2 strikes before I realized it. Would play again.

Also, VERY, very satisfying cannon aiming.

Update to my review. There is music it's just super quiet. Added a star.

Sorry it wasn't very clear about the house, that's what the reference to "I have everything I need in my shack" was in the intro scene. If I up the difficulty any more then mobs start spawning WAY too fast, so I had to find the right balance but it does feel a bit slow. Also there IS music... and sound effects, you should have heard both.

I like the music and the graphics.
With the game I have some troubles. I could fly long distances out of the screen.
Overall a decent made game for 48 hours. But no real fun for me.

Unfortunatly, it didn't work for me with the .jar file. It just flashes up shortly on MacOsx and the disappears.
but the game seemed very interesting

This was pretty fun. I would like to see more enemies, they would be fun to fight off.
