Old-school, I love it!

Looks good!!

It would of been nice if you'd included the MSVCP120.dll, it could just be my computer messing up though.

It looks good from the screenshots anyway, I'm liking your graphics, reminds me of the ZxSpectrum color palette.

dll errors should be gone now.

It looks great, the start screen is well designed and the instructions, apart from one typo, are also good. I had problems though with the enemies swarming around me in a way I couldn't possibly get out without dying. Also the looking around was pretty difficult, so I wasn't capable of finding a key. But still, it has a great feeling to it and looks very nice.

Oh my... Difficultly cool!

Classic graphic, classic difficulty, and classic gameplay. Well, mostly the difficult part. It's damn hard, but it's pretty cool all over.

Hmm wasn't sure about the difficulty I was able to complete it most of the time but I did get a lot of practice when creating it. It is possible to tweak the difficulty in the code by reducing the number of monsters a bit.

Love this kinda game! This was the first type of game I coded years ago with this exact same ascii set, so it brings back memories. It was really hard though! Couldn't find any potions or the key. I enjoyed getting surrounded by several yellow and red monsters.

I'm a huge sucker for ascii games, and this one is no exception. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

I thought this game would be too easy when i saw i could outrun pretty much anything. I was proven wrong pretty quickly. Still, I had a lot of fun exploring the dungeon except I felt like it dragged on for a bit too long. Finding the door first is a PAIN.

As a huge fan of the original Rogue and Nethack, this game definitely had the nostalgia factor going on. A solid roguelike and an enjoyable old-school experience!

Very old-school! Niiice!

I love a good ASCII roguelike :D

madjackmcmad 2013-12-16 04:52

Solid work!

Amazing! Managed to somehow get the key on my first run before getting mobbed by enemies and then from then on could never get further than the first few rooms. Plays really well, interface and controls are simple and easy to use. Graphics suit the game well (I'm a big fan of dwarf fortress xD). Some smaller details would have been nice to change it up a bit such as weapons or upgrades. But overall a really good game.

An ASCII-roguelike in the good old console? Just... wow. Congrats on your submission =)

thejackimonster 2013-12-16 15:03

Really cool game! Good job! :D

Dynamic shadow with ASCII on a windows console...
AaaAAWWwwWWwEeEEsSSOoOOoommmmMMmEEE !!!

alvarop 2013-12-16 15:28

Now, this is my kind of game!

phi6 2013-12-16 16:17

Great game, surprisingly accessible for a ASCII roguelike thing. Interface was clean and simple, controls were easy to understand. Very impressed with your line of sight implementation. This has potential to be a great roguelike.

mruno 2013-12-16 16:39

I was surprised by this! Amazing idea! It was difficult to get around the cave, but a very cool idea

disdanes 2013-12-16 16:44

This is incredible! Great job on the game! Loved the old-school vibe and the exploration. I would start the player out on a slightly smaller level just to get them used to the game, and then let them loose into a labyrinth.

peacegiverman 2013-12-16 17:31

It starts slow, but it gets intense mid-game when you're trying to outmaneuver ten enemies at once :)

chiguireitor 2013-12-16 18:04

Nice game. The cave could have a better generator, but overall great game.

chasec 2013-12-16 19:53

Very impressive for using no external libraries. Great job!

ekilibr 2013-12-18 15:14

Love that old-school thing. Nice work !

moomoo112 2013-12-19 06:15

Nice little rogue-like, but the combat seemed very slow rather than treacherous

ohfiddlediddle 2013-12-21 08:27

I enjoyed this WAY more than I thought I would. Love it, excellent work. :)

Remind me to come back to this.

Very cool! Very hard to play!

archaeometrician 2013-12-30 02:10

Wow, amazing work ! Really great job, totally feel like old school dungeon crawler !

shard123 2014-01-02 05:43
