Excellent job Kane, as someone not used to the ascii format I found that it was extremely accessible and it looks great. Interesting concept and a terrifying thought to be trapped in a dungeon with no body parts but with the power of immortality. Really liked it, keep up the good work!
Interesting take on both roguelikes and immortality. It was really difficult but I beat it eventually, which is the right amount of difficulty for a roguelike. Sprinting across the room with your body on fire to grab a bandage is funny.
Funny concept. I liked the ascii graphics and the overall mood. But I felt some lack of control as I kept hitting traps and couldn't get very far.
Nice game, the ASCII format was a good choice for this. The level design is rather sadistic in a funny kind of way, I won't spoil anything.
The roguelike-game of this Jam is here, nice job!
Cool concept for a roguelike kind of game. I found it to be pretty hard and got annoyed a bit at the fact that you can't really tell whether you're still standing on a trap. Bandages don't do much if you keep getting sprayed with fire or acid. :(
Really good ASCII game.
This was a very interesting experience!
I really love roguelikes and the way you did immortality was awesome! Thumbs up!

Loved the your interpretation of the theme
Nice to see a roguelike in the compo, but didn't get it to run under windows, since a file was missing in the archive: libpdcurses.dll
The first time I finished the game I was just one mediocre left arm and one good right arm. Laughed, when I read that you need your head to dring something. Funny :)
I forget it in the new build >.<
Sorry HuntTheWumpus, I fix that right now!
Fixed!
Extremely difficult to get through the dungeon, but it's a cool concept, I was kinda confused at first about losing my limbs but turns out, that I really need them!
Yay! ASCII roguelikes for the win ^_^
It doesn't even have too overcomplicated mechanics (I still hit "Q" to Quaff - instead of P for Potion. Oh well :P
Awesome game!
Really fun! I've never seen a game take use ascii graphics before, that really impressed me! Definitely giving this one a good rating.
I haven't tried them all, but somehow I'm confident this is the only game in the jam where you'll be left with just a head and one arm, dragging your bloody carcass onward. Really triggers the imagination.
Recommend any future immortals go on a quest for the rune of detect traps before undertaking this quest.
cool concept a real rouge like
ASCII FTW! Loved it.
Very well done.
Well executed, funny, great use of theme, I really liked this one!
Good job on creating an ascii quest. I don't know if it is a bug or a trap but the character is sometimes transfered to the next level totally unexpectedly, which ruined my ambitions to .. take the gold. :D
Try expanding this into real roguelike with random generation :)
It was a trap, there is some shaft in the game ;)
An interesting take on roguelikes. Although I never liked traps as a mechanic in RLs - it seems too much like a cheaty way to add difficulty.
Still, I really liked the way this game treats immortality. It reminds me of Torchwood! :)
Wow, nice! I really enjoyed this, great and innovative idea on the field of roguelikes, at least for me. Roguelikes were always about imagination -- but I somehow failed to imagine how head with only one arm remaining move.. I have to try harder I guess.. Good job :-)
I'm not very familiar with roguelikes or ascii art but I found it accessible and I enjoyed it. I liked your take on the theme!
