I wasn't able to play it since you didn't have a web or a Mac version.

Nice to see a rouguelike, though I would've liked to see a little more area variation. Nice progression for such quick work.

Definitely an impressive amount of content. I laughed at the Gentleman having "too much money".

Like Geti mentioned, it's nice to see a roguelike pop up on here. Great job for not being familiar with the genre and only having 48 hours to do it... it's quite fun to play, there's a good selection of classes, and the monster variations are pretty interesting. With the size of the floors and the way they branch out, I do feel like the game could really benefit from an auto-explore function like DCSS has.

A roguelike! Awesome! Mashing the arrowkeys was a little tedious (would be nice to keep moving until you saw something), but this is pretty cool. Lots of content.

I had a hard time connecting the theme to the game, and a less circuitous map generator would have been nice (although I am of the single-screen roguelike persuasion).

Fantastic game for such a time frame.

josefnpat 2012-08-27 22:02

Nifty game, i'm impressed it's in GM!

It really lags when you kill something, but very cool game!

devaki 2012-08-27 22:32

I couldn't test all features and items, but as far as i went , pretty cool game. Congrats!

starmen 2012-08-28 00:35

I enjoyed it. It plays quite well and was really fun overall. Some of the art could've done with a little bit more polish (the chest and the apple stand out in particular) but overall, well done.

Reminds me of Other Observations

Roguelike - love it. Although I can't see much relation to the theme.

firehand94 2012-08-28 03:05

I love roguelikes, and I enjoyed this. My one major complaint is how widely the graphics differ in resolution and overall feel.

zeid 2012-08-28 04:45

This was pretty impressive. Making a roguelike for a game jam is a pretty ambitious feat. Good job :)

Same here =(

Great Roguelike! REminded me of Temple of Apshai. Cool!

ratking 2012-08-28 19:03

Very nice - love the amount of content!

sev_inf 2012-08-28 19:07

I'm the fan of rougelike and this game is a great example of the genre. I will definatly keep on my HDD and will replay it many times. Also, does there an OSX version planned?

itssacraficed 2012-08-28 19:59

Disturbing walking further nice!

mes 2012-08-29 04:49

funny item names :)

jplur 2012-08-29 04:50

A solid roguelike and I enjoyed the bits of humor thrown in!

khaotom 2012-08-29 07:14

Not a bad little roguelike for under 72 hours. I really like the simple inventory system. I felt the levels were a pretty nice size, maybe just slightly too big.

Protip for other players: Don't press ESC to cancel (T)hrow. It exits the game!

bereuge 2012-08-29 07:53

Cool! I'm not a big fan of roguelikes but it was fun to play this :) Fun writing, nice musics and lots of content too!

ripatti 2012-08-29 09:24

I really enjoyed playing this game. Great one. I think I'll ruturn this game again and again.

I want some minimap here. Also one little bug: for the second and so on game-sessions character is placed in the wrong place on the starting map.

bitspace 2012-08-29 17:11

First impression: finally a roguelike I don't die in after 10 seconds! Great job, I would love to see a bit more progression in difficulty though - somewhere after level 5 or 6 it got ridiculously easy. Can't see the theme in it though...

juaxix 2012-08-30 07:35

Wow this game is huge, remind me of chrono trigger! I would love to have some savepoints XD
And love this RPG

dedhedzed 2012-08-30 13:21

Every time I went to run it, I got 'unexpected error while running the game'. :(

imef 2012-08-30 15:24

Fun game! I like that you can choose a class at the beginning. The game froze when i died.

vaelzan 2012-08-30 18:29

I quite liked the LOS lighting used as well as the augments system. Nice subtle humour in the starting inventory of the gentleman. The graphics could use some work and the level generation could do with fewer "corridors" and more "rooms". Nice work for the short space of time though. A good amount of content.

infernet89 2012-08-31 09:02

Very complex game, for a 72 hour one! It's normal that the gameover is tinyer than the game itself?

cipher 2012-09-01 13:50

"Unexpected error when running the game"

cappagames 2012-09-01 19:10

I had fun with this. If you polished this up a bit, I think it would have a lot of potential.

misfit 2012-09-02 15:25

Roguelikes are always great. Maybe traditional ASCII-graphics would fit better. .. but good job!

moops 2012-09-02 15:33

Amazing depth for the given time, I enjoyed it!

rawbits 2012-09-05 01:53

Wow this is entertaining! I love the music and the random generation. Nice game, good work! Better graphics needed though for the levels, but it's ok, it's playable like this. The only thing I don't understand is the money. What's it for?
