It sort of has a nice atmosphere, but it is bloody difficult, especially for me who is generally useless at this type of game. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>It is also really nice to see a fellow Java entry. Kudos!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Both versions worked fine for me running Oracle Java 7 on Linux, even tho tend to be dead throughout most of the &quot;unstable&quot; one. Did not see any freeze or crash. :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>You might wanna consider adding a loading screen tho. I was almost confident that it was broken when the screen was just white for the first 20 seconds. It wasn't until I activated the Java console that I realized that it was actually doing something. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, maybe it'd be better to look for a smart place to spawn the player rather than always the center of the screen? I keep spawning inside the ground or on top of spikes cuz I'm impatient. :)"},{"author_name":"Drabiter","author_uid":"8337","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 3:06pm","epoch":1367420460,"text":"Cool visual.

The spawn system allows you to drop into the level as you wish, when you want to so you can choose the best place to start off from.\r\n\r\nHow far will you last?\r\n\r\n*NOTE: The version you are playing is an older version than the actual build because the new build was highly unstable. The versions are fundamentally the same, it's just that the older version has as longer load up time where it sits at a white screen, but is easier to play and has less jumping puzzles*<\/p>","title":"BiT"}
