  • This grew on me quickly! Very addictive "chase scene as RL". The ASCII, while initially obscure, made sense and became intuitive the more I played it. I really like the mechanics and combination of enemies and scrolls. The confluence of scrolling and scrolls was great.
  • "Scrolling Scroll RL" is really well designed. After learning to right-click on stuff, I finally understood what was going on, and played for a while. Took me at least half an hour to get a win though :) I enjoyed the variety of scrolls and enemies - in spite of supposedly monotonous march forward, the game is highly replayable. I didn't notice many issues, but here is a nit: - The board doesn't fit on the screen in fullscreen mode (Macbook Pro + Chrome) My scores for everything but Scope and Roguelikeness are 4 - I think it's a great entry. In terms of scope, it feels just right; As for roguelikeness, I felt like you took an interesting approach to the genre that warranted a higher score in innovation, and rounded Roguelikeness down because of it.
  • A very interesting take on the dungeon generation. The game is well balanced - challenging but winnable. The variety of enemies is interesting. I had a good time playing it.

Eearly game is punishing :) I'm usually careless and will let myself die often in the beginning until I find I've had a good start and _then_ will start playing a bit more careful.  I haven't been able to get further than high 70s, I feel like I'd be able to get further if I could _wait_ a turn, I often find accidentally walk into an attack :\  The spell system is fun and so is the level-up system! when all those glyphs showed up I thought I was a goner and then realized what it was :)
Thanks for the game!
