Woaw! Great game!
It makes me think of Toejam and Earl (for the sound and ambiance).

I wrote a litle review in french if you're interested by a short feedback : http://oujevipo.fr/10-minutes/boombox

cant get it working, when i try to unzip it i get a message that a problem is preventing the folder from being encrypted, and even though i can see all the files, when i run the app nothing happens. i cant even delete the folder now because it says a program is using it, but well, task manager doesnt seem to think so

Ah yes, forgot to mention I couldn't play the windows version of the game, only managed on the browser. It simply wouldn't start.

Ah yes, forgot to mention I couldn't play the windows version of the game...  It simply wouldn't start.

I'm having this problem, too.  What's worse is I can't seem to play in the browser.  At first it was just that the sound was incomprehensibly glitchy so I installed the newest version of Java.  Now when I try to play in the browser I get an "Error: Class not found: boombox" message.

 

EDIT:  Huh.  Now I'm wondering if the class not found error might have something to do with having updated java.  I tried playing in browser on my girlfriends Vista x32 laptop after updating first and got the same error.  I also tried installing it and found that again, it wouldn't start.  boombox.exe shows up on the task list for a second and javaw.exe starts but no windows show up, both on her computer and on my XP x64.

Ah!  I wanna play this so bad!

Yah, I'm aware that the Windows build doesn't work. Sadly, the evening that I started looking into why the Windows build wasn't working, my PC went belly-up. I'm going to put together a new box tomorrow night, I think, so hopefully I update the Win executable and fix that problem. Will update this thread when I do.

RE: the brower version not working on Win computers, this is a new issue with Java applets and the most recent JVM. I've read that they've made it so that you can't just load a jar file anymore, which f-ing blows. Someone did post about a workaround and I may get to that. Piss-poor timing, if you ask me!

Sweet, nice little write-up. My French is not super-great, but I think I got the gist of it! I know there is not much content, but I plan on creating more content for it. This game is really a proof-of-concept for something much longer, which I hope to be able to follow through with.

Ah, BALLS!

Well, until the possible release of a windows version...  I'll go see if anyone made a video play-through or somethin' so I can at least hear the tunes.

The browser version works with my Window 7 laptop if that is any help. Took a few minutes for the loading bar to show up the first time though. Made a simple playthrough of the game as well here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbvIrUkao9A

For some reason I have random pauses even in my original recording.
