Fun waste of time for a few minutes! ASCII art was a really nice twist (reminds me of my child game "engine," where everything was just a symbol and you could move via wasd :P). Definitely fits minimalism--I liked it!

Takes me back to my Apple][+ days.

Nice job. I loved purchasing level-ups and the ascii art was great.

It was really awesome! It's a really good time-killer, finished the game completely with all upgrades!

Enemy bullets can be kind of hard to see when your ammo starts getting frantic

You did a great job with the ASCII art and the game itself is very fun! I can tell I've played too much Binding of Isaac when my immediate thought was the Envy boss :p

Very fun, the upgrade system make it addictive. Sadly, it slow down for me after lvl 5 (bad computer) so can't reach the boss (lvl8 just too slow).

I have to say that I am not the biggest fan of avoider type games. Basically its nicely done. It's very simplistic, which matches the theme right, but I miss some sound fx or music. Also, I found it a bit disapointing, that the graphics are in ASCII, but they flow freely on the screen. When I saw the screenshot I hoped for a "real" console game ;)

Awesome game man! Really fun to play :)

It felt like a minimalist bullet hell... which it is I guess. Fun! :D

I like the ASCII art, try use ASCII text instead of image and will be perfect!

Fun game. Nice level progression, and I liked the shop.

Nice! I didn't expect to get so drawn in. :D
If I would change one thing though, it'd be to add some kind of animation or something when you get hurt - I kept not noticing!

Nice game. the ascii art was a nice touch.

Great game with upgrades on the levels. Very hard to turn away.

Liked the graphics, missed not having sound. My guy did not shoot? Do I have to earn that or something?
