Definitely not an ASCII game in the strictest sense but very well made and fun!

Disqualified, as this is definitely not an ASCII-based game.

EDIT: See this.

How so?
All "graphics" are made combining ascii characters, even the backgrounds.

Can you, please, explain what do you mean?  
We used https://style64.org/c64-truetype Witch is "expansive set of mappings from printable ASCII," 
Is that wasn't allowed?
