Long time since i been here but am in.
I actually had a lot of fun with this 😄 The descriptions of the squares, coupled with the console output added a surprisingly existential feel to the whole game.
Plus major props for a well implemented theme - text adventure + boardgame is a pretty incompatible mix!
Ha! Funny idea. I liked the descriptions on the tiles.
Interesting take! I never thought text-based snakes and ladders would be so funny!
Very classic!!
You've chosen two exceedingly incompatible genres and made it fun. Congratulations!
Unfortunately it's not working on my computer. Windows 10 here.
Keep working on games to make even better ;)

Simply genius, good work! Since english it's not my primary language i didn't understood immediately what i was playing , but after a little while of playing all was clear! Nice work, both of idea and of implementations!
I won without cheating but it was a long game, Henry almost won thanks so some snakes!
This is quite a funny premise. I love the hilarious writing. Many other games like this would probably repeat lines quite a lot, but every square here seems to have a different line, which is impressive. It did get repetitive after a while with how many snakes I landed on, but I made it eventually. Also, I'm not sure if the examine function works; it never seemed to do anything. That aside, I had a really fun time with this game. Nice work!
really enjoyable, very good game!
I just LOVE this game! It follows an Approach that I had in mind while Brainstorming for this LD, but I threw it away because I didn't dare to try. It is hard making such a board game in text-based form interesting, but you did it really well. Nothing really to improve (unless you want to bother with Sound some time), so Keep up the good work!
Wooww!! Could never imagine such a concept myself... really well done brother! Loved the art, gameplay and everything... Overall it is a nice entry! Well Done!
Just in case if you havent, then do try my game too... Cheers!
Thanks guys for the feedback; I really wasn't too sure about this one and as I stated I really started to not like it while I was finishing up I guess more so than my last LD entry I'd guess due in part to the theme being a tough one this time around. I know for a fact that the code in this is really bad too as I was trying to rush to get it working and complete before the submission time for jam. I might actually go back and re-write the entire thing a lot more cleanly and add a few extra random features, I did like the idea of adding some sound into it potentially voice work for the room descriptions and/or dice roll sounds for well you guessed it the dice rolling. I like the idea of making it a bit more Dungeon's and Dragons-esque also but I guess we'll see what happens as so far of all the entries that I have submitted over the past few years I've not actually gone back to a single one of them LOL.
