Can't open it..I can only listen the music and it's kinda creepy

You should have used ImageIO.read + Main.class.getResourceAsStream instead of Toolkit.
Compiled from source ;)

Music is kinda weird and the game is quite difficult but the idea with the graphics are awesome ;D. Also that funny weird tune in the background makes the game even more fun ;p.

Unfortunately mine says "A Java Exception has Occurred"
My JRE release: 1.7.0
x64 and x86 jre installed.

the tune goes with the game. a few hints to weather I am doing good or not would be nice

It is very important that you unpack all the files from the archive and then run it! Else it won't work

Okay please tell me if it works for everybody now, it's just a .jar now :)

Whenever I try to run I always get a NoClassDefException? :(

Getting an error when running it. "A java exception has occured". After running it through a batch file it says that it can't find the main class.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: TheMakersHand : Unsupported major
.minor version 52.0

Java exception occured...

@TheMorfeus Be sure you have the latest version of Java. This exception generally tells you that you don't have the latest java. The game was compiled with the newest version 8.

Please be sure you have the latest and full java 8. Also please check if you don't have an autostarter, that you ran it with 'java -jar TheMakersHand.jar'.

I also get the java exception. There Java 1.7.0_25. I want to play this, the graphics look great!

That is not the latest java version ;) The latest version is Java 8, meaning 1.8.0_20. That being the compiler version, your runtime environment can't run the game. I will try and compile with an outdated version of java.
But if you update your Java to Java 8 it should work right away. ;)

Nice idea!

Sorry, no Java.

This didn't run for me

I've uploaded a version compiled with the NEWEST but java 7 version. It is outdated, but for those with not the newest version of java, it should work. Please try that version (Java Jar Java 7) ;)

This game has a cool look!

It was fun once I got the hang of the economies involved. Scored about 800 :P

Cool, and that's a really good score! :)

Manage to build small tower, but "God" was to far away. Limited amount of initial resources make it hard at the beginning. Nice game!

Cool, interesting audio! Finished it with a score of 706.

Hi there ! Here are some feedbacks.
What i liked :
- It's a management game =D
- Balancing seems pretty great.
- The game is fully playable.
What imo could be improved :
- Borders on the display, could't play with whoosing a proper background.
- hard to construct high because the UI in front hide what your building.
- Music ! I'm not against mouth recorded music but there is really too much noise on your record.
- Could have been a mouse only game, would have been easier to play.

Great overall, thanks for the game !

That music :O
Everyone died :(

I found the music creepy, but interesting game.

Quirky. I like it.

:) :) :) Challenging, Original, and Fun!

Strange game, but I liked it a lot! I love management sims.

Cool music :D Cool game :D

I like it. A little easy though. Maybe you could make a sell/destroy building function.

creepy music, hard to read yellow text. also should be a restart button

Nice game! I couldn't get to the top, it seems like a bug when i get to a specific height, i can't get any taller so i don't reach to the gods. First entry that I listen to human voice made music. LOL. You should have varied it more, so it won't be so repetitive. Nice little game!

First game that I had legitimate mood rating for. It all worked together to create a unique and strange feel to it.

i really liked your music... didn't realize i could WASD move until the second game... played a few sessions but could never afford pipes to heaven. i really liked the handmade look though.

Thanks for playing and commenting you all :)
@hbocao To finish the game you have to get straight to god, so the tower must finish right beneath him. That is a 2x1 field where you can win.

Cool game.Goodjob

Not a bad game, figured out after a little while that if you don't build a farm first you're stuffed. The sounds were cool, but that tune in the background got really annoying after a while.

It was a cool concept, if you expand it, i'd play it! The art does seem a little vague (took me a while to realise gold wasn't crops for farm) however it fitted well together. The audio I ended up muting, it fitted nicely, but after long periods it got really annoying.
