I'm not sure if it's me, but the zip is empty when I download it

I downloaded it and it was ok, a friend of mine also downloaded and he played it so I guess his download was fine.

I don't know what the problem might be.

I've uploaded it as a rar file to media fire:

Thanks, giving it a go

Okay, I managed to get it running but the collision detection is a bit wobbly and he gets stuck quite easily.

Still, it's a working game and I can run around and collect gold and kill things so I'm happy!

Thanks :D

I forgot to add a step into collision so when you collide with something your position is only fixed in one coordinate and the other one is left unchanged, this can get you stuck.

I really am disappointed for not being able to have put in the score system, you would get the score screen after each level and the level transition wouldn't be less "wtf just happened". It would also give some objective to the game.

Next time I shouldn't go to the cinema in the 48Hours lol

Hello, I tried running the .jar file on OSX, and I got a stack trace :(. I understand that it might be tricky for you to fix without having the platform, but incase it helps and you have time: http://pastie.org/5542719

It seems you do not have the required java version (J2SE 7).

Download and install Java SE 7u10 (JRE) from:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html

Not too shabby, some of the hit detection is off but it feels all right for the most part. Good work~

Love the slime graphics and the title screen. Sounds are OK. Gameplay is very buggy and unstable but I managed to finish it.

I agree, collision detection could be improved, but I really didn't have enough time to do so. Had fun making it thought! :D

Does seem quite buggy, unfortunately.

- I died before I really knew what was going on.
- When restarting, I ended up on the same place as I was, but then much higher, and I fell for like 10 seconds.
- When restarting again, it didn't restart at all...
- I think the speed was too high, it was too difficult to see what was going on rly. But I don't like fast-paced platformgames to begin with so maybe personal taste.
- You should consider practicing on your pixel art. Don't get me wrong, mine looks rubbish also, but it may be good to work on it :)

I agree. I practiced pixel art before the ludum begun and sometimes I can create decent things, but I take too much time to do it xD

Got it running no problems but the game was somewhat buggy. Managed to finish the game after a few tries; nice platformer. Can be great if the bugs are ironed out and art was more consistent (even simple polygons can look great if everything fits).

-On the start screen, sometimes it doesn't run when I press enter. It takes a few tries before i get into the game
-If you jump on an enemy sometimes you propels you really really far.
-The screen shakes constantly (not sure if intentional) and same with enemy bodies.
-Sometimes when I die I get stuck with no way to do anything.

On the starting screen: You have to click inside the window because the canvas doesn't acquire focus automatically.

The jumping high is because you both kill the enemy and he deals damage to you, it is easily fixable, but I didn't have the time.

The screen shaking is because of the dirty physics system I implemented.

The handling of the players death was thrown in at the last minute and thus I didn't test it much, I'm sorry :(

I know the game isn't even mediocre, I wasted quite some time on Saturday :/

I'm on Linux and I downloaded the source but I don't know how to go about compiling it (not too familiar with Java). Do you think you could include either a Makefile or a jar?

The "Devon" folder inside "Source" is an Eclipse project which means you're able to compile it in Eclipse.

I never really got into studying and using makefiles, so I really don't know how to make one :/
I can't really create the jar file because I've worked on the game after releasing it :S

If you install Eclipse and open the project you'll be able to compile it though (to run the game from inside eclipse, to debug it, you need to add the data folder as a class folder and go through all the files and change all the strings that are paths to files and remove "/data", this because the executable jar I compiled to release wasn't working right with the resources being inside the file).

There is something wrong with the hitboxes of the character, and the game is super buggy (it does not work if I restart after dieing). It's a nice start that you could polish to get something more ;)

@MaTX Yes, I know. All of the bugs have been fixed in post production. There are more features too now! :p

little buggy, but Yay! I won :)

mmm this game needs a strong debugging! It could be interesting if it were more polished. Anyway I completed it. :)

The enemies are much smarter than mushrooms in Mario lol

While definitely unfinished like you said, the idea was pretty neat. There was some bugginess though, like dead slimes 'attacking' but it was fun

The dead enemy attacking was a failure in optimization. I assigned the same instance of an enemy sprite class to all the enemies which means they would share the same frame, therefore killing an enemy makes them all show the dead sprite.

This is a cute little game! There were some small glitches as others have mentioned- the display is a bit shakey because you're constantly checking collision with the floor, getting hit by an enemy apparently sent me flying off into space, and when I restart after dying I respawn to where I left off, which immediately ends the game again.

But you have a working game and a nice platforming engine that you can build from, so great job!
