I really like the heavy use of ASCII characters for the graphics; but FYI: it seems to glitch out on higher settings -- putting it on anything but "Good" (even higher), seems to have lots of articles or otherwise make the game unplayable.
That aside, I really liked this entry, but holy crap is it hard!
It works with the XBOX 360 controller, although it is hard to figure out which key starts the game on the keyboard (you can't start with the controller). The game also needs feedback to gauge progress. Enemies drop what appear to be "goods" (although I wasn't sure about this at first), but touching them appears to do nothing. I loved the ZZT-type/ASCII art-style and hope to see more of it in the future. I think it looks ambitious, but you probably ran out of time.
@BrainSlug83 Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you like it! Strange about the graphics bug though, I can't reproduce it on my machine ( very low quality will make graphics very blurry but I don't see the effect your mentioning ). What machine do you play the game on?
@DerekRumpler Thanks for the kind words and advice. I was indeed short of time. You can now start a game with the controller's fire button
I like the retro-style look.
Maybe a bit of collision? Otherwise really solid entry, good job. :)
Fun game! I liked how the title screen lead directly into the game. I wish I could have seen my score after I finished though.
