I have been working on a vertical 2D shooter named European Hero with a friend of mine and I can say it is finally done.
You can download the game directly from http://www.europeanhero.com.
The game requires JAVA 1.4.1+ and currently only runs on Windows(sorry.)
The controls are:
Q = shoot
W = shield
A = toggle items
S = use item
We would love to get some feedback on the game.
Thanks,
Chris

Seems to work for me under linux :). All you have to do is download the lwjgl-linux stuff as well as the latest GAGETimer (maybe not, but I did, and it works). Then download fmod3, symlink the .so to libfmod.so, and run java -Djava.library.path=. -cp jinput.jar:lwjgl_devil.jar:lwjgl_fmod3.jar:lwjgl.jar:lwjgl_test.jar:lwjgl_util.jar:timer.jar:. EuropeanHero in the main dir. I used wine to run (extract) the install exe.
Hmm, or maybe it doesn't. Every time I get to lvl 2 it hangs, not even giving a stack trace. Running with jdb it gets stuck here, right after I hit space for the next level:
[1] org.lwjgl.fmod3.FMusic.nFMUSIC_StopSong (native method)
[2] org.lwjgl.fmod3.FMusic.FMUSIC_StopSong (FMusic.java:188)

I expect that I screwed up somewhere with the installation of fmod + the linux lwjgl native libraries, as I had a lot of trouble with them. However, it did managed to play the songs, so I don't know what is wrong. The lwjgl native method that is called is merely a wrapper for fmod stuff, so I would assume that any problem would be in there.
