I will try this new version, however last night I did actually complete the scrolling version fully. You know what? I really, really, really like this, and that's not even a joke. In the blind community we do not have that many text rpgs, so even a short little ditty is good fun, and I really hope to see more in the future. If there's a sequel I'd love more dungeons to explore. Endless mode perhaps wouldn't go ammiss. Or, imagine an arcade mode where you could equip modifiers or bet, say, defeat an enemy in a certain number of turns and you get more gold or rewarded with weapon or armour upgrade. Then, and I know this might be a pipe dream but for other projects, imagine a text-based civilisation type game but that would take a looot of doing probably, but in the blind community we've never had that, at least not one that lets you go from nothing all the way to the modern era and space. By the way, as soon as I'm done here, I'm creating a topic on the audiogames forum. If you join there, I will be able to unrestrict you as an admin and you'll be able to join in the discussion. I'll also ask if people would be willing to leave some comments and feedback on Itch.

Also, for your future games you could probably easily make it so you don't have to make two different versions, just include an option in the game to disable scrolling. This way, it's less work for you as you'll only then need to compile one version, but make it the first screen that pops up, are you using a screen reader, yes or no, or 1 or 2 or whatever sort of menu system you decide to use. Also, if you decide to branch out into games with actual movement, it's certainly possible to include stereo/binaural sound and audio cues for things such as doors, enemies, pickups, and combine that with screen reader support with libraries such as Tolk and you can set up stuff like coordinates, status screens that tell the player where things are, even keys that say a player's health and such directly for instance, key H to announce health whilst using arrows or wasd to move. I'd love an actual audio rogue like with no ascii and a way to explore a dungeon like that, it's annoying just hearing hash hash dot at at hash tilda tilda, why can't it say, east 2, wall, north 1, door, etc? Or door at 20, 25? A Dark Room added iOS accessibility, and that was amazing. "Outpost, two clicks north, one click east". I absolutely loved playing through that game a few years ago.
