Java not found with up-to-date Java

When I try to run this, I get an error message:

Java has not been found on your computer. Do you want to download it?

I do have Java. My Java Control Panel says it’s up to date. Clicking the OK button does nothing. Help

Sooo… is this abandonware? Because there’s no sign of support…

Managed to fix it: had to install a 32-bit JRE on my 64-bit system, then set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre-1.8\bin. Wasted all this time troubleshooting so I could play a poorly designed game that further wastes my time every time I restart a level.

This game would make sense if you were controlling a rocket or something, but instead it’s a magically rotating lifeless spacesuit with a lopsided light source whose only purpose is to mislead the player even more than the bizarre angle of the body. Not worth the price. Shouldn’t be charging any amount of money for this in the garbage state it’s in, honestly; and the dev seems to have been inactive for four years, so that doesn’t seem likely to change.

Hi there!

Indeed, the dev retired from indie-deving in 2019 and none of his projects will be updated.
Thanks for the fix to make the game run on 64-bit platforms! This game was developped when 32-bit was still predominant.

Hey, thanks for replying! Sorry about my cranky… review? Guess I was running short on patience. But yeah, that workaround did the trick!

I stand by what I said, though, even if I regret how harshly I said it. I like the idea of this game, but I don’t like this game. And you should feel bad for making something that a stranger on the internet doesn’t like! (no you shouldn’t)
