LOVE IT!

Endurion

Very nice! Makes me want to play more.

A few little things though:
One push on escape completely exits the game, I thought it'd go to the main menu or something.
Also, full screen, please :) It's really tiny and I couldn't make out the magic pillar on the first play at all.

Endurion: F4 makes it full screen.

not gonna lie, this is probably my favorite one so far :) this seems heavily inspired by ADOM, which is perfectly okay with me...considering it's one of my favorite games of all time.

Any game where the first choice is GENTLEMAN ASSASSIN has got my vote.

Loved the game narration during gameplay. Music was a great touch. I died rather quickly, but it's a roguelike so that is expected I guess. :) I wish you had done some graphics for the enemies and items instead of text... but it's a roguelike, so that is expected I guess. :(

This is fun. Music's nice. Too tiny screen though, would really need resize.

Bonus points for doing a rogue-like. I like this a lot.

Problem Machine

It's fun poking around and finding gear and whatnot, but the combat seems a bit random for my tastes. When I won I didn't feel like I did anything especially right and when I lost it was doing the exact same things I'd been doing when I was winning. Also a rat threw a knife at me, and that was weird.

Great game with some witty humor too.

ExciteMike

Wait, "the bat throws a knife"? a bit unexpected :)

Chris Zamanillo

Very cool, digging the music as well.

Hempuli

Quite easy, but satisfying.

Gah! Somewhere around level 28 I gave a pile of money to the dark gods, and this happened:
___________________________________________
ERROR in

of Key Press Event for <Enter> Key
for object randomevent:

Error in code at line 6:
if !global.weaponslot="The Reaper +15"

at position 13: Wrong type of arguments to unary operator.

I had to exit the game, it wouldn't continue.

Really nice job on the game. I had more to say, but now all I can think about is that bug. :-(

This is probably my favourite entry so far, and one of the few I've played that I can see myself coming back to.

Loved the music, too.

This was fun to play and feels very complete. Well done.

ondrew

Very complete. I'm missing keyboard repeat. That makes controlling too slow.

I love this. I have a huge soft spot for roguelikes, and this is a very interesting one, for all it's simplicity. I love the variety of 'flavor text' in the game, something rarely found in LD entries. I did note a few bugs, I'll definitely come back and try the post-compo version later to see how things have changed.

HybridMind

Pretty fun. I was happily going along and was trying to figure out how to rest or heal... and hitting 'R' totally reset my game.. arg! ;)

Well, definitely enjoyed the little touches and flavor text you put in this. I really liked the simple fade out that happens as you descend a level. Nice job creating this little rogue-like. Also, love your entry description text above... very funny.

PS: On your comments on my game you mention an 'I, DUNGEON' joke. Can you edit your comment on my game to provide explanation or link or something because I am not familiar with the reference and google has not provided me anything definitive. :)

EDIT: Thanks for explaining the reference! :)
