I love it when I get to play as myself. Ninja time is the best time.
Are there any other dependencies to the game code? I can't seem to run it on my Win8 64b machine with latest JRE =/
I like how you don't die when you come in contact with hostile objects, it's much better than repeated deaths to beat the same level.
Did you make the graphics yourself?

Same here...
Nice take on the theme. The game ran fine on linux and was pretty hectic.
Nice Levels!
Not working on my Mac.

Good job! I like the fact that you are not punished by 'Game over' when you reach 10 seconds.
Good game and great idea! I like vault mode, it lets me try to find a better way before giving another level in my face :D
@theholychicken
Yes, all graphics/music was made by us, the sounds were not.
@Generalgore Good question, I'll look into it, most people don't seem to have a problem though.
@Thomas Ingham Aha, was hoping someone would post something for me to go off of. Sound seems troublesome on Macs, I'll have to look into it.
This was fun, I love the simple controls and the idea of non-lethal obstacles, especially as a contrast to how lethal our game ended up! Base character movement felt a little slow, but otherwise great job! The one touch controls would make it an ideal phone or tablet game!
Very fine game. Quite fun to play. A lot of different levels, with varying difficulty.
However, the goal of the game, to get to the goal as close to 10 seconds as possible, could be a bit clearer in the game itself: like better feedback, when you get to the goal or maybe a time-based score?
I really liked the graphics
This is a really neat take on the theme, but the controls were very hard for me to use, so I found i just had to jump and run forwards continually to have any chance of finishing the levels at all.
Don't really understand how was calculated the score. Good work anyway ! ;)
Working well on my mac, last version of Java
Some levels are hard ! :)
I like the idea of just playing the levels, and even if you die you continue playing and go to the next level.
@flavio
Thank you! That's what we were going for, a kind of arcade where you play for the sake of getting better and getting a better score each time, but without the hindrance of stopping right when you die.
Also, nice to know it works on at least one Mac, it seems there really must be some general dependency issue, useful information.
Great entry, I like the sound effects and the graphics! Only a fitting font is missing. Good job on adding so many levels! I had no problems on my Mac.
just a while ago a friend of mine was talking about hypothetical arcade-style gameplay that is not about death. I called bullshit on him. looks like I'll owe him an apology.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
We've very recently discovered that there may be problems running the game on some Macs, I have not tried it on Linux yet. Feedback is welcome.
