You guys may find this amusing:

It’s an enhanced version of one of my J4K 2007 entries.  It’s not in Java though.

I was really surprised to discover that .NET doesn’t offer an equivalent to webstart.  MS needs to offer a better deployment model.

Sadly, it probably is.  Makes me want to stick to Java. 

Did you extract the executable and try to launch it locally?  Perhaps its some messed up .NET security error from trying to launch from a remote site.

Ran fine on my Vista machine at home.

Played through to level 4 without dying, had maxed out powerups.... then a big block fell from the ceiling without warning, and I died...... 0_o

Maybe the balance needs abit of tweaking ^_^
It desperately needs sound too.
Oh and more exotic power ups Grin

Apart from that, good game!

Out of interest, why did you write the game using .net?

.NET has ClickOnce, which is about the same as Java Web Start.

I couldn't find a simple way of adding sound and music to a C# application.

I wanted to see what the pros and cons of making a .NET game were.  Also, I was hoping to explore XNA at some point and I felt this was a step in that direction.

I'll look into this.  Thanks for the link.

Apparently, it's true.  ClickOnce seems to work well... at least in IE.  I updated the page.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Originally I couldn't find a way to play sound effects and music in C# without dipping into the XNA or DirectX libraries.  But, I noticed .NET 2.0 does have a namespace with a class that can play wav files.  But, I think I'll avoid bloating my tiny game with music files.  Kind of defeats the point.  That is, I wanted to demonstrate gameplay without all the bells and whistles.
