Short pixel-art platform mini-game in Java.

• FPS-independent timing.
• Efficient tile-based drawing.
• Culling of out-of-view objects.
• Code-based animations.
• Load of stages from bitmap files (each pixel corresponds to a tile, arbitrary dimensions).

Note: if you want to create your own stages, do not modify the top line of pixels; it is used as palette.

To play: Download & extract game.zip and run game.jar.

• Runs on any system/OS that supports Java (but currently requires keyboard input).
• No installation procedure required.
• JRE required.

Required files for running / distribution:

• game.jar
• img/*.*
• stage.bmp, stage2.bmp, stage3.bmp
• 8bitOperatorPlus-Bold.ttf

• Sounds
• Main Menu
• Customizable controls / touchscreen support
• More stages/enemies/items

The project is considered "complete" and will not be further developed actively.

However, contributions are welcome!
