I did not spend all 48 hours working on this, more like 10, and relaxed. Have fun!
Controls:
Left arrow key - move left
Right arrow key - move right
Goal:
Mine blocks by running into them to gain points equal to the amount of ore in them.
(per square)
Gold - 10
amethyst (purple) - 10
green gem - 8
red gem - 8
copper (brown) - 4
coal (black) - 2
Losing:
You will lose if you go below the window bottom or above the window top.
Other info:
The blocks should scroll upward faster over time.
UPDATES:
4/28/14
- Fixed two bugs that caused the game to crash.
- Ported to linux and mac (run the jar file with the name of your OS as part of its name).
4/28/14
- Fixed another bug that caused the game to crash.
4/29/14
- Fixed some physics bugs that may have caused problems.
5/2/14
- Fixed bug that caused the player movement to slow down. (kinda fixed)
Known problems / Thoughts on what to do next time:
There still seems to be a bug that makes movement speed slow down, I do not have this problem on my computer and have no way of fixing it at the moment. I am told that this is a problem with LWJGL's inconsistent delta time or something, I should have used SFML or something else.
Also the text being drawn under the blocks is caused by my game not having layers when drawing (did not have time to add it).
You can drive off the map by going left or right because I did not have time to add walls.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure you have the latest version of java installed or it may not run!

I'm getting the same error. I think it was a bit slow, but I like the idea. Could be great with some music and sound!
For me, the movement speed keeps getting slower as you go on, until you can't move anymore, than the game closes.
Simple but playable :).
Sometimes it generates line without gaps and than game crashes.
Fixed 3 bugs that made the game crash, try running it now.

When i land i got stuck or just cant move :C Looks fun tho (:
Nice idea and playable. I kinda like that the blocks not all look the same.
I felt the tempo was a bit slow.
One annoying bug is that the score text is beneath the surface (actually that will give you a bonus point) of the blocks...
Don't underestimate the importance of sound.
Sorry, I can't play on mac.

For some reason, the deeper you go, sometimes it feels like the movement is slowing down until you can't move anymore.

Make sure your version of java is the most up to date one because that problem is usually caused by that.
Nice game, wish I could resize the window or something because it went outside my screen. I also felt like the further down you got the slower you would move. Pretty solid gameplay on which you should definately expand. (powerups, bombs, etc)
Besides being a little lethargic in terms of movement, I kept getting stuck and couldn't move barely at all. That really kills the experience on this endless runner type.
Movement is still slowing down exponentially over time. Also, you can drill out the side and fall to your death.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
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.
I get this error while playing after a while:

It seems fun, but I can't decide because I don't get to play but for about a minute or two.
