I had a lot of fun with this one, the explosions and the diagonal powerup makes it really interesting! The style is very cool tool, very old school using ascii art, and I liked the font changing as it felt pretty unique. nice job on this!

Killer entry! Had a blast playing this, very fun concept.

I was avoiding the purple asterisks, until they were sort of in front of the Chosen One. I thought since they were on the right side of the game, that they were safe. Putting them there was smart because that’s how I learnt that they’re actually badass and very essential.

Music was awesome (all by Kattywampus, right?). I found myself bopping to it.

Unlocking fonts was a fun progression mechanism.

Great work on this!

Good game. Played on normal, wrapped it up at level 100 (initially wanted to wait to see if I will be spawn into a level surrounded by zeros completely, but at some point, it seemed like no more zeroes are spawning. I was also expecting the octakill to unlock something, but it didn't :D Really nice game. I like its take on the subtheme - the chosen 1, and also the small thing with "difficulty being set up in compsci terms". Good music too.

i thought it was not possible to get 8 kills bc there would always be 1 left out due to the cardinal movement restriction, clearly i was wrong lol
