This is brain-child of 2 months. It's about 1/3 completed.
Inspired by the movie Equilibrium.
I animated the little mannequin myself, and the background tiles are ripped off of a game that I used to play.

I'm now looking for some volunteer artists that are willing to complete this game with me. Do you think what I have is sufficient to attract artists? What other fancy stuff should I add to get some artists interested enough to help?

Anyway, thanks for checking it out. Feedback is welcome.

PS: Sorry about not using Web-Start. I'll get that running once I figure out how.

err - 4.4 MB screenshot???
might want to jpg it, 65% - ~ 140kB

[Matzon]

works, no skipping in frames or likewise. Might want to make ESC the exit button

has a certain ultratron feel over it.

[CuppoJava]

Thx for trying it out Matzon.
Okay, so it works. That's always good news =)

I haven't played Ultratron yet, but it looks like a really cool game.
I trust all the users here to know Alt-F4 so I was too eager to post it to write in a exit function.

I'll get the screenshot fixed.

Downloaded the Ultratron demo,
Heh, that's a sweet game. If anyone hasn't tried it out yet, go do it right now.
Although.....the demo kills you right one you reach the boss....arg...

Does anyone know of a good tutorial for getting Webstart up and running?

that's weird...
I think it's because of my quick and dirty fullscreen solution.
I'll turn off fullscreen for now.
