Very basic and simple! The graphics could have been something other than characters, but a fun game!

Yeah.. I tried to add in emojis but ran into problems with the winapi...

Cool little game. Sometimes the screen would continually flash when updating, but I am sure that is because I did something wrong.

A fun game to play, I like the retro graphics and the power ups. Especially the clear one and how it made you decide whether to should pick it up or not.

I certainly like the conceit of the power up which you may not want to pick up. That added an interesting layer of strategy over the game which made me want to think about where I went rather then rush directly for the nearest thing. Also, I always like when people can bend something to their will like you did hear with the command line, i didn't realize something like that was possible to do in this amount of time!

Hey, that's a pretty neat concept of a game. Not the best-looking, but I like how there's trade-offs for the power-ups. I thought the game itself was pretty easy to get into and understand.

Nice entry! The game seems a little uninviting at first, being a console game, but it does have it's charm. The different symbols are a bit not intuitive, I whould try some rare characters for each of the things, but it was accessible enough (after the first "wow, a console game" xD)

Nice and simple game. I like the power ups.

I actually liked the graphics, it's a style you know and eveything was coherent, so, it had something. The gameplay is cool too, nice concept, good work

This was fun. But the screen would refresh the entire thing again and again, just wipe blue all over the screen for seconds at a time. It got really frustrating and was insanely hard to play when it happened.

Great work on the chosen ascii characters! After a little while it just made sense on it's own.

This brings back memories of writing games for the console, it works and does exactly what it says on the tin!

At first I encountered some weird windows bugs where it wouldn't display the game properly. Once I got the game to worked I actually enjoyed it quite a lot. Simple, yet fun. I have no idea how that programming language works, but is there any way you could add sound? Would have made the game a lot better. Still, neat game!
