First Game- The Sweeper (Prototype)
This small game was my first and was made in the course of a week. It uses the LWJGL (http://lwjgl.org/) and Slick-Util, and was created for a first-year assignment in which the brief was to recreate minesweeper, I decided that it'd be cool to re-envision the game. I implemented it as a top down scroller, which used audio cues to help players locate the mines. With such a limited amount of time, I didn't have a chance to tweak game-play balances, so it'd cool to get some feed-back about difficulty.
I want to extend the game into something lemming-like, where the player has to clear a path for civilians through a variety of increasingly challenging terrain, all while under fire.
Thanks.
Here is a link to the game just click file save in the google docs interface- it requires java to play

This post seems to have some tools for the production of executables from Java programs, which might encourage more people to look at the game.
Thanks for the link
However, you mention native dependencies: native to what platform? Does the game work under Ubuntu?
Note too that I'm no longer as familiar with running Java apps as once I was: could I perhaps be doing something wrong in running your game?
As to game hosting, I don't know what others use, but I'm pretty happy with DropBox for that function.
Thanks for trying. I'll compile it into a complete binary and see if that helps
