The Invasion of Timmy by The_Observer
Priapus(@priapusstudio) presents it's first game. Telling the story of a young boy and his very infected body that needs saving by a little white hero.
Uncompress and execute the 'TheInvasionOfTimmy.jar'-file.
Edit: If executing the jar doesn't work, try the now included bat-file. It still doesn't work? Let us know!
Have fun!
Edit2: Added OSX and Linux versions, also a small FAQ and more screenshots!
Beware, we couldn't test the Linux version. Let us know if it works great/good/decent enough/bad/totally awful(circle the correct answer). Thanks!
FAQ:
- I can't hear anything! Am I going deaf?
Maybe you are. When was the last time you saw a doctor? Or maybe it's because there's no sound included in our game. Unfortunately we ran out of time before we could code in some funny tunes. Boo on us!
- When starting the bat-file I get the error " 'javaw' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
First try installing Java JRE (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html). If you already have Java installed and still get the error, try to add C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin to the PATH environment variable. How to find the PATH environment variable: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
- When starting the bat-file I get the error "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: org.lwjgl.DefaultSysImplementation.getPointerSize()"
Please install a 64 bit Java on your 64 bit OS. More bits equals more fun!
- I still can't get it to start!
Please be sure you have the latest version of Java installed.
If problems persist while you have the right and newest Java installed then don't hesitate to tell us the error in a comment. That'll give us the chance to find a solution.

The gameplay is also rather interesting, and it ends on a twist! I approve.

I would really like to play this game though. It sounds interesting!
It's seems to me you don't have Java installed? You can get Java at http://www.java.com/en/download/
If I'm wrong: What version of Java do you have installed? In cmd, try "java -jar TheInvasionOfTimmy.jar".
Normally the bat-file would then work.

Nice little game. The input was a bit awkward, It didn't like pressing different direction too soon after releasing the previous key. Also there didn't seem to be an ending and there were only nine of one of the bacteria.
The amount of back tracking required to heal was a bit irritating.
java -Djava.library.path=/some/path be.priapus.ludumdare.timmy.Timmy
...but replace /some/path with the directory that contains liblwjgl64.so. I found that file in another game: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-23/?action=preview&uid=10838
Unfortunately the game is pretty unplayable for me as it keeps on stopping, shaking the screen.
But I like the concept and the graphics.
A big thanks for everybody who commented, they're a big help for us!
