Redemption
*Made from scratch in Java
*First time experimenting with a scrolling map and minimap
Arrow Keys - move
Space bar - attack
Objective: Kill all the Enemies in the lv and reach the Blue City
**Note: You must reach the end of the game for the theme to make sense**
-Not everyplace is unlocked you must complete the highlighted lvs to unlock new ones
-Red cities are the towns you need to complete to unlock the blue city
***Make sure you have the latest version of java installed****
***Make sure that the jar file and the Rsc folder are in the same folder or textures wont show up***
Please let me know if you find a bug! I will fix it immediately! Thanks!

I reproduced the bug by finishing a level up against the edge of the map, where scrolling stops anyway. Scrolling will still be stuck in the next level I visit. Finishing on the far left or far right freezes it horizontally, and finishing on the very top or bottom freezes it vertically. The effects can stack too. :)
Had to reinstall java, must have not been latest version.
The game mechanics could be improved the be more challenging, I ended just button smashing through the end.
I couldn't see the highlights in the map, so I got a bit lost (but I liked the idea!)
I guess you didn't have much time, but it would be nice to have some humans sprites so the monster side would be more evident, I just didn't feel anything attacking big squares xp
Finally, just a personal opinion, I found the ending a bit silly ^^;
Anyways, great job!

Anyway, unlike some others it works fine on Mac (with Java 8 runtime), game itself is bit more like RSI-demption, amirite. But it has a start and end, though the "twist" at the end is rather implied by the setup text in the beginning. But, good effort.
