Impressive visuals for an ascii game! The gameplay has a lot more going on than I initially thought. Very nice degree of polish too, like with vfx during attacks. Good work!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Love the ascii art! There's actually a lot in this game -- different items, abilities, enemies, etc. I played for about 20 minutes before stopping and I'm not sure how close I was to the end

Developer

Thanks! It's set up as an endless game, so I'm sure you got a pretty full experience! I'm glad you liked it!

I sure do love a roguelike. I did a few runs (didn’t actually beat it) and had a lot of fun.

I feel like the stats might need some slight tuning. At one point I got caught into an infinite battle with a mimic, where I would nine lives and lick wounds back up and it would regenerate, I didn’t see a flee button so I eventually gave up. This was after I put all my points in accuracy after feeling like I missed way too much so I guess I couldn’t do enough damage to get through the mimic. Possible I’m just bad at the game!

Either way, I had a lot of fun. I like the mix of classic roguelike dungeon crawling and that pokemon-esque style of combat. Great take on the theme!

Developer

Thanks! Yeah I thought about adding a flee option too late into development. But if I expand upon this in the future that's definitely on the list haha. Glad you had fun with it regardless!

I didn't expect to find an ascii roguelike in this jam, but it's great! The art looks great, the music is good and the gameplay was fun, good job!

Developer

Thanks! I'm not an artist by any means so its a nice way to hide my bad art haha. I'm glad you like it!

your game so unique !!
