Even though it's pretty bare bone, I really like the looks art-style.

KILL ALL PESKY FARMERS!

I liked this a lot! For one, that visual look is really cool, but for two, your core concept is really neat! The villagers ran around in interesting ways depending on what was going on.
I did accidentally bug the game out, I think, where I kind of killed everyone but the level didn't end. But overall I had a great time with this!

Not bad for a couple of hours work.

Not too bad for only a few hours, really like the visual vibe, kind of tried to make something similar on my menu but it's not as good as yours. :D

Not bad :)

What a nice game, I really like the pools of blood you leave after a kill. The day-to-night shift is quick and smooth (kill the villagers!) and the expressions on their faces priceless. Great entry :)

Technical Note:
So the Linux version did not run (Unable to load OpenGL library /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXxf86vm.so.1), neither did the Win version in WINE. But I distinctly remember your LD33 entry, grabbed your emulator which does run, and copied over the 1lw.bin tape.

Really minimalist but also totally on point. That transformation sound murdered my ears the first time though.

henry00 2016-04-23 11:46

The art is fantastic on this one! Talk about 80's!

seadads 2016-04-23 11:54

Love the style and shaders!

I'm disappointed you didn't let us rate for graphics because I LOVED the aesthetic. The ASCII graphics combined with the CRT shader gave me a great sense of nostalgia. I love how much you were able to express with just letters. Great job!

paquinn 2016-04-24 20:59

The retro shader added a nice touch

thedashdude 2016-04-24 22:17

The game is pretty bare bones, but I enjoyed it all the same. I think it needs a little more variety.

xanjos 2016-04-25 21:05

Pretty fun and interesting entry plus I loved the minimalistic ASCII art style and CRT effect.

randomhuman 2016-04-26 15:04

Won't run for me on MacOS :( There's no error message or anything even when run from the command line

jacob2512 2016-04-30 05:46

Wow... really unique zzt vibe you have going there!

matlab 2016-05-01 21:51

Cool graphic style !

yuigoto 2016-05-04 03:23

ASCII + Television simulator = ♥! :D

The game's pretty simple, but challenging and really fun! Proof limited time and resources aren't enough to hold fun games! :)

I was quite scare of the sounds, since I left my volume on max, but that's ok, it brings up the mood. :P

Congrats and cheers! :)

Thanks gelisam, I'll have a look into that and hopefully fix my packaging for next time
