The voxel graphics was nice, even if I didn't realize the lava was actual lava until I'd fallen into it and died.
Also, all the levels need some more work; First and second had areas that were way too hard in comparison to the third one.
When hundreds of people make non-browser games, that means that, to play all of the entries, I would need to download hundreds of games to my computer. I typically use OS X, so Windows-only entries are particularly inconvenient.
Please consider making a browser game next time.

You should add java 7 as a requirement into your description.
If you post another build that works for java 6, I'll be happy to try again.
Good music (why leave it off by default?).
Liked the design for level 1, but it seems like you rushed levels 2 & 3 out. But hey you have more levels than me :)
Controls were a little twitchy but not to hard to control.
A little animation for the character would have been good.
I think with a little more polish you would have quite a good game here.
@Zoomyzoom you should change the link to say "All platforms (Java7)" so people won't just see the "windows" link and pass it up. Please make a 1.6 version if possible though as well :/
All had worked fine for me, no java problems.
The controls worked fine (sometimes a little hard to manage though).
In the level 3 (the one you started falling, and falling, and falling) where have I to go? It seems that is unfinished.
The best, the music. Why did you disabled?
Cheers man!
Nevertheless making an applet with Java is really no problem so that could be considered next time (it's a matter of 6 lines (not counting imports) if coded properly)
Now to your game:
I didn't recognize the lava in the beginning, too and had also problem with the controls being a bit too sensitiv. The music was more annoying in the long term.
But all in all it's a solid working game with animation created in only 48 hours, so it's worth some points.
For those experiencing problems, it's definitely a Java version issue: I had the same error, then upgraded to Java 7 and it worked.
Like others have said, you shouldn't use Java 7 yet unless you need it, as pretty much nobody has it and the error message isn't exactly friendly. Also, since this is Java, why not offer an applet version? I offer free Java hosting at http://StaticVoidGames.com, might be worth checking out.
