A dungeon random generator within 6 hours? Even if there isn't really much to *do*, it's a nice litte gameworld which you created. Might check the source for the ASCII-display, since I wanted to code one myself a while ago, but didn't know where to start^^

Cute little game. Had fun playing it! The enemy AI is a bit iffy though.

Hate those O's haha.

Nice dungeon generator and fun to play despite the simplicity. The graphics remind me of making games with that O-umlaut character as the hero on the ZX Spectrum.

For six hours I'm super impressed :P Not sure how the enemies/AI/pickups work but I love the graphics.

Very nice work for 6 hours - wasn't immediately obvious what the objective of the game was but hey it's 6 hours of work. :P

This is far more engaging than it ought to be. I'm not sure why I enjoyed playing it. Maybe the variety in the world-generation? Maybe the tension of passing through small spaces peppered with erratically-moving and instantly fatal oafs, balanced with the smooth sailing through larger-but-not-too-large, relatively safe areas? Maybe the abstraction? Maybe the font? I don't know. I liked it.

Would be nice with some kind of goal, avoiding the AI is not enough alone and score seemed to be more or less depend on random how much you cuold get.

This is REALLY much content for 6 hours, I mean I can't even do that in 48 hours! I am really impressed.

For 6 hours of work this is nothing to sneeze at, unless you have a cold in which case you should sneeze at whatever game you happen to be playing because you're sick. This game is strangely captivating. One life, one goal, one set of characters... I could easily see myself sinking hours of my life into this if I had nothing else to do.

Dungeon generation here is nuts, amazing for 6 hours game. Reminds me of those oldschool Basic 8 bit games written in 256 characters of code.
