I super love the ASCII art style!
A bit hard to grasp what to do here (i mean what to do to win). It might need a few runs until you can play the game effectively. You might not want to start with normal if you don't understand the game :D
In the first try i built a few structures until i had no money. The beast ate something and for a few rounds nothing happened anymore. It's not very clear how the system works exactly (thus how to work with it to win somehow).
But what can you do ... it's a jam after all and it was refreshing to play some ASCII game for a change. And while you opted out of the graphic rating it looked cool somehow after all.
I love these kinds of games and they are very hard to do right! This is all round a great effort and the ASCII style is absolutely amazing, I have no idea how you managed to get it looking like that in that amount of time! Well done, a solid entry :smiley:
Very unique and interesting game you did there! I certainly didn't see that final battle coming. I found the battle actually to be more fun than the turn-based part before that: I felt that I didn't really knew what I did, but the stats worked out fine in the end anyway, leaving me with the impression that my actions didn't really matter (maybe they really did, and I just got lucky).
P.S.: ASCII Art is super cool!
