Actually, what are the important parts?\r\nIs less... more?\r\n\r\n----------\r\n\r\nTwo of us worked on this, starting from some base java code.\r\n\r\nThe idea was to explore the whole concept of minimalism, a bit through the player rather than explicitly taking things from it. Not sure how well we succeeded. Also, our first jam, so probably overblown the time... ;)\r\n\r\nHope you like it!\r\n\r\nEdit 2:\r\n\r\nWe fixed a game crashing bug that happened when you were hit by too many enemies.\r\n\r\nEdit:\r\n\r\nSome people have encountered problems getting the game to start. In 100% of cases so far, it's because you need to update your Java to the latest version from java.com (the latest update of 1.7). It won't work with Java 1.6.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\n\r\nWASD move, arrow keys fire. \r\nSpacebar only starts the game.\r\nEsc to quit the game at any point\r\n\r\nThanks for playing, to everyone who's done so already! :D","title":"Min's Journey"}
