Hopefully the last alpha test.

It now should work on ancient bags of shite like TNTs and Celeron 400s. Hopefully. I’d be most appreciative if you’ve somehow found yourself in a situation with broadband and a shit computer to have a go and see if it works for me. Dick around with the Options too and tell me if that works. I’m quite pleased the non-bumpmapped version looks so good.
See if you can get to the end of level 5 now…

;D cool!
I actually made it to the options screen…it still quits out of full screen when i go to play…ut it was close this time.
Worked like a charm!
unfortunately I only got to lvl 4 this time – and need to go now…
I’ll be back for that lvl 5 surprise !
Argh! Buffer, what’s your system again? Got any output I can see?

I’m afraid that my computer is just too shite. Celeron 400, Intel 810 graphics.
I can see the options screen, but it quits when I try to start the game. Here is what I get:

If I try the 32 bit option it doesn’t work at all, and tells me that I need an OpenGL compatible card:

java.lang.Exception: This application requires a greater colour depth
which is strange, as it seems to be trying the same display mode.
Whoops, that’s a LWJGL check I put back in accidentally. I’ll fix it and put a new version up once I find out why it’s not working on the Intel 810.

i’m visiting my parents over the weekend and thought i’d give your game a go on dad’s rusty old thing. it’s a p3 450Mhz with a recently added TNT2 (he had a Matrox P100 before! it was too slow so i bought him a TNt2 instead for seven quid) and only 128 Mb ram.
it did not work 
this is what it spits out:

Let us know when you’ve updated it, and I’ll download it and give it a try on my WinME/Savage system. Should be a laugh… ;D
