I instantly fell for your screenshot! I'm a sucker for ascii art (and I also made a text based game). I managed to complete the game (kiss kiss kiss ;-D), but for a while it felt super hard - before I got to a cluster of pickups. Anyway, a good and solid entry with awesome ascii art! =D
Just a nice fun, sweet game! Aww! Finished with about 3% love left. Also there was this one moment:
Date: So what do you want to be when you grow up?
Me, a cold unfeeling robot: With 1000 thousand dogs
Date: Aww, me too! Dogs are the best!
Date: Aww, look there's one now!
Me: He appears 84% angry according to my scanners
Me: I will beat him to death with my robotic tentacles
*Robot tentacles appear out of hands*
Me: HAHAHAHAHA
Date: ...
Me: So want to continue our walk through the park?
Also, what was the lost cellphone for?
@jacoder23 It was meant to be a joke, but I had no idea for the punchline :P Anyway, thanks for your comment ! Glad you liked my game
cool game, got to the end on the second try, but i really don't get why fight the X
I love it, but I'm definitely the science nerd. I don't stand a chance XD Brilliant combination, just wondering who the enemies are? Probably just paparazzi ;)
This is one of my favorites so far. Got to the end with 36% love and got a kiss. it was just plain good fun and reminded me of my days playing ADOM
Freaking amazing! Excelent work, wanna check ours too??

@jaime-paz-lopes @Blinkenlights I didn't understood theses comments at first but then I realized small screen might cut out the right part of the menu, where the ennemies informations are. I put a smaller font size so tell me if it's good now. And thanks for your comments.
@Toulou Aaaah, that explains it!
Super silly, I love it! The conversations, the robot in disguise(which felt the most powerful to me,) it's just lighthearted fun.

Very funny game. Very hard, but still got the point across rather well. Very neat genre combination
That was good! Loved it :). Ball - Undefined. Haha, that was the best part for me.
Cute game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_9PaAd0SRA
I like it so much! good mix! :laughing:
I kissed a girl and I like it! :two_hearts:
Hahahahahaha! So poetic! I love the jokes, this is my type of humor. Fantastic!! I played three times, I lost the two first times but the last time I managed to get a kiss. I'm impressed by how much content you managed to get in by this short amount of time. Gear work!

Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future! Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!

Easy art lover win \o/
Really nice game, thoroughly enjoyed both the gameplay and the graphics. :) +1 for Humor!
Man what a cool game! Never played something like this very nice, the ascii art are too good
At first I got a score of 0, but then by my third attempt, I managed to do quite well...this was actually quite an accurate depiction of my high school experience :) Very fun and original game, and this was my first time playing a game with ASCII style - I loved it
Very clever game. Very cute, great execution! The love interest ascii art was so cute :) <3 <3 <3
Nice work!
Only complaint I have is that the dialogues started repeating too soon.
Pretty funny, I only wish it was cheesier
Today I learned I'm bad at dating AND RPGs.
This was a great game though - and I'm sucker for ascii: 5 star graphics from me ;)
I love the mashup! Had a similar idea, but wasn't sure how to implement it in pico8 :id:
if you have time, checkout my entry: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/golden-beak-golf/
This was really great. Definitely one of my favourites this LD. Good job!
hahaha awesome great job
This is really cool and funny :D beautiful ascii art composition :) I died often and early haha, but it was fun regardless. Great take on the theme.
@Toulou WOW! Incredible!
At the beginning I was a bit sceptical because I usually find story heavy games a bit boring. But this game kept me hooked until the very end. It was so good that I instantly decided to play it a second time, so I could try out another character class. I can't believe how much content you could create in such a short time. I have a question: Was this game created with only html and javascript? If so, respect. I also love the Ascii graphics, especially the different face expressions of the character. I think some more color variation would have made it easier to differentiate between enemies, items and walls. Also some sound would have been cool but maybe this is hard to implement with html and javascript (I never used sound on websites,so I don't know anything about that).
It would be really cool if you could check out the game we created and leave some feedback :)
(You find it here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/cartds)
lmao I've never seen anything like this before, great job! the fact that it's playable on a browser is awesome too and and supports the style of the game. I was surprised at how much mechanics you implemented, even though they were still pretty simple. The game was really fun to play and you mixed two genres really well, good job!
It'd be great if you could check out our game!: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/rattys-stew-an-immersive-cooking-simulation
*Kiss* <3 <3 <3
Excellent game, all the texts (items, enemies types) changing depending on the place you visit just immerse yourself in the story, doing this with only ASCII art is a proof of good content !
The enemies names are fun by the way, everyone always wanted to kick a loudy kid (I think it was in the park) 😄
You should maybe center the game in the browser for better visibility 🙂
@cambryx : Yep, only javascript. Thanks a lot for your comment !
Really cute game!
What Worked: clever use of theme, easy controls, cute dialogue, great mood.
What needs some polish: Centering the map in the middle of the screen, maybe making key points (like instructions) more noticeable.
Great job overall! :D
Nice little game, the elements were spread out on the screen a bit too much and its a shame that walking makes love go down! But I like the blend of themes and always like a good ASCII game.
You've picked up *1 good joke*, somebody stop me!))) Nice work, excellent humour, as a fan of dungeon crawlers - i'm impressed
I am not a big fan of text based games but this was fun to play. good work.
This was brilliant!
The blend of themes was unusual, and it worked great. Nice humour bits and rogue-like mechanics sold me completely. Also, I really liked the addition of dialogue + choice during the dungeons. Some text colours to better distinguish the entities on each level would have been nice, but other than that the game feels already very solid.
I managed to get through two dates as a nerd, but I still suck at love :sob:
Game is realy fun ! =D
Really a funny twist for the genre! I liked playing, though it was almost too easy :grin:
Having a bit of sound (e.g. music) would help the mood quite a bit, but creating music during LD is... almost impossible. At least for me, it is.
It's a great idea to combine classic ASCII dungeon crawler with romance. I think, shortcuts for links would be really good, but even without it, the game plays pretty comfortly (otherwise _Vimium_ can be used). Great work! =)
This is really cute! It's a fun RPG too. The pacing of it was perfect; it felt like I was always just barely making it to the next item or the exit. The ASCII art also really fit the feel of it. Great job!
Nice cute game. You managed to keep me engaged with limited visuals which is difficult. Some of the questions the date asks you are quite repetetive I believe. Sound and sound effects are important too. Other than than, Great entry.
Hah, that was interesting~ It's... not QUITE a well-blended mix, but then again, these two genres ARE quite incompatible, so. The dialogue was cute, and though the combat was shallow, it certainly FELT like an old roguelike dungeon. Overall, as short as it was, I had fun! Well done~
I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.
I hope you continue with the project.

Nice game here ! I like the interpretation of the theme and the graphics are lovelly :)
First time for me to play this kind of game, and it's really amazing. Dialogs are cute, and the dungeons made by ASCII characters are more interesting than I expect. Hope for more stories and dungeons!
This is a really cute game! I sort of wish the characters had different dialog, but otherwise, I really like the characters.
Cool game. I like the ASCII graphics, and the game has quite a lot of humor in it. Great entry!
ASCIIness hooked me up into this game. I kept two Romantic Musics until the last moment when I used them, so I ended with 100% love. I'm such a sly bastard.
It looks funny. I'm really pleasured to use https://custom-essays-writings.com/psychology-essays and now I have enough time to playing games.
Excellent! But to be honest, I'm not very successful at writing. When I need to write a student paper, I often ask for help. But recently I fell for a fraudulent service, after which I decided to read reviews about the service before starting to work with it. I liked this review - https://www.bestessaytips.com/pendrago-com-review/ . Everything is clear and understandable
