This is my game for LD31!
I'm very pleased with how I made it because I'm 13, so I'm still practising! :)
EDIT: Fixed bug when some of the variables don't reset when game played multiple times without exiting.

Hey friend, I can't play your game ):
When I open it, it says "A Java Exception has occurred"
Thanks, @Mixer! :)
@Louisload, what version of JDK are you using?
@hadesfurry, you can't :D...I haven't realised that until it was too late :(
@MatejaS I just updated my JDK and the game opened :D thank you!
I love defense games. Thank you this was fun.
Would have loved some gun sounds.
Keep up the good work.
Audio can add a lot to the game, for you next game try looking up Vlambeer and juicyness if you havent yet.
this is actually really cool. the lack of sounds and Music was disappointing. I liked how there is modes for firing. I wish the tower was in the middle to increase the challenge. but good work.
Like the graphics, but I couldn't figure out how to reload or anything like that. I ran out of ammo really quickly.
Otherwise it's a really fun game. =)
I really liked the ammo resupply mechanic, made me have to think carefully about shooting which makes a change in these sorts of games :)
I love the cute pixel graphics and the defense gameplay mechanics. The artwork is consistent (except for the grass) I wish you had time for sound and music so I would be immersed with your game longer. I got bored quickly though after 3-4 tries because it got repetitive. Good luck and keep on shipping games!
I made my first game when I was 13. Glad you are using Java . Cool game.
nice game, it's a great accomplishment considering how young you are, looking forward for your next games, well done :)
I think I'm the only one here, but I can't get it to run. Win7 64bit.
@scias if it says "Java exception has occurred" or something similar please update your JDK :)
Very solid entry! I appreciate the added complexity of being able to avoid fire and blowing up TNT with the right timing. Graphics are nice too, I especially like how your tower actually gets destroyed bit by bit. I only have two quibbles and one issue with this game:
1) The bullets seem a bit slow, making it hard to hit TNT or ammo boxes when they are far away; making them faster however could potentially make them too hard to dodge and the gameplay too chaotic. Maybe make it so you can shoot the parachute as well and not just the box? That way things would be a bit easier to hit. (Maybe I just suck at aiming though.)
2) The gun seems to fire a bit higher than the mouse cursor. You can get used to it after a while, but coupled with the slow bullets and small targets this can lead to some problems early on :P
The only real issue I ran into is running out of bullets...at that point you have basically lost the game, since you need to shoot the ammo crates to get more bullets, which you can't do when you're out of bullets :D
All in all a very fun game with a solid execution and nice attention to detail. Good job!
Thank you very much, @oh_andrej :)
You are right about the quibbles, but I think they make the game what it is :) (I could have made it better, though).
About the running out of bullets, I wanted to make the plane drop a box with ammo just above you when it happens, but didn't have time :(
This is good, great effort on your part. Keep practicing, and don't stop!
Nice work. I liked the sprites. The game was quite fun. Good work.
Great Game, though it could be for mac and linux not just windows
Pretty nice for your age! Quite challenging and fun.
I really wish you had added some sound.
Very nice game. However, I found the shooting to be very slow and inaccurate.
Pretty addicting gameplay! I liked the variaty the game had roboffer

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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
Hey dude! I am 13 too :D Fellow game dev right here :) Great job with your game, it's pretty cool!
