New release: Type Raiders

[mot]

It is my great pleasure to announce that I have just finished and released my new game, Type Raiders. It is a nice little game with gorgeous graphics that makes it really easy and fun to practice touch typing.

Demos for Windows and Mac OS X are available here: http://www.typeraiders.com

If you like it, have some suggestions or if you find bugs, please email me (hello@catnapgames.com) or post comments here. Thank you.

Hi, I have been reading your blog, and the game seems really neat.

I tried to run it with wine, but it gives a NullPointerException after level selection when the ufos stop.

Couldn't you provide a linux version? from a quick look all the natives you use have a linux version.

Tried it on my workstation, but it gaves me an OutOfMemory Exception while loading the game. Is there a way to increase the memory vars for the game?

//edit: Just noticed you deliver it with the JRE...maybe you could provide a version without the JRE to decrease the overall download size. Or a shrinked jre with just the needed features

From the pictures i really like to try it.

Could you send me the log file please? It should me in My Documents/TypeRaiders/logs. A short system info would also be great. Thanks!

Slightly updated... LWJGL 2.6 and a few crash bug fixes. Anyone willing to give it a shot? Thanks...

This is pretty cool; I like games that train me to do something in a fun way (unfortunately not enough games out there for training your musical ear )

Just to let you know, the download buttons don't show up on Opera web browser.  I was like, "How do I download this?"  Then I went to the page in IE and saw the download buttons.

Opera button bug fixed, thanks jediTofu.
