PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X

Good graphics, nice sound. Solid implementation of the chosen gameplay mechanic. I couldn't really feel the theme though.
I liked it!! I dispensed like hell and got into the highscores list :-) It's great to see you have put so many things together, menu screen, credits, sound, highscores server, upgrades concept. Well done!
Very nifty idea! I think the gameplay could maybe have done with a little speeding up - I got through the initial birds with no issue, but it took a long time for the boss to appear. But after that I died pretty quickly, mostly from other birds' fire (poop?) rather than the boss'. The SFX were also quite shrill. But yeah, I enjoyed it, the concept was lovely, and it looks pretty good too! :)
Very funny! I liked the music, the humor (don't we all know an angry vending machine such as the one in the game?) and the mechanics themselves. The music was simple but fitting with graphics and sound effects and the gameplay itself was a lot of fun. Well done!
Dispenser throwing donuts on dive bomber pigeons, droping golden coins. What stuff were you smooking while thinking of this? :D
I like the game. Sometimes it is impossible to hit the interval between bird flying over and poop hiting you.
This has been the most enjoyable games so far. Simple and fun! Well done. :)
the java file opens for half a second then automatically closes. Is anyone else having this problem?
Poor pigeons :(
Haha great work, this was fun :D keep it up!
OSX build simply shows a grey screen. The levels folder is empty??
I really liked the idea of being a dispenser. quite creative :)
Hmm.. Got a strange issue. When I ran the game it opened up into a window that was black and immediately closed. :/ I'm on a Windows 7 computer with Java 7. Did you make the game in Java 8? Anyways, cool to see a game made by a French 16 year old dev (I'm also a French 16 year old dev)
@Super_Hamster did you extract files in a folder? Because the game can't find resources in an archive.
Good job! I think you could (should) keep working on the game and we may have a gem :)
@tughan I think I will try to remake the game for smartphone. The gameplay should be better :)

Mini Submission FAQ
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.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
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 at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
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.
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.
Good game I had a good laugh!
