Your friend has ventured into a cave without you and is lost and alone! It is up to you to save him! Battle through hordes of 90s boy band members, people who work in predatory industries, and other horrors of the deep!
Don't read any of the source files if you care about spoilers. This includes the ./game file that runs the game.
Requirements ============ You'll need Ruby 1.9.3 and a terminal that supports colors.
Playing ======= Navigate to the directory in your terminal and run
` ruby ./game `
without quotes. If you're a seasoned Ruby user, you may have a different command for running Ruby files. Also, Linux/OS X users may simply
` chmod +x ./game ` ` ./game `
This will give the file permission to be run, and the second command runs the file.
Controls ======== y - Northwest u - Northeast h - West j - North k - South l - East b - Southwest n - Southeast > - Down stairs < - Up stairs U - Use item, follow up with the key in your inventory g - Pick up item . - Wait a turn
Tips ==== When you level up your unarmed damage and health go up. Try to avoid insurance salesmen at early levels. They're pretty mean.
@FredericRP I can't really package Ruby. It's usually included on operating systems (that aren't Windows I guess). Thanks for attempting to check out the game though :P.
@rawbits Cool story, bro. Have fun not playing any game ever since they all have dependencies of some sort (DirectX?!).
Found my kitten at last. I have to say you've made a quite well done roguelike engine in 48 hours. But really I think it need more enemies and items other than potion :) Anyway a nice game.
That was a fun little rogue like, though I must complain about some of the corridors stretching for too long, without a reference point you can't even tell if you are moving. I just held down the button and ran into an insurance salesmen and died. Also, once you hit level 2 you are pretty safe, and once you hit level 3 nothing can really hurt you. There should have been one more "difficult" monster on the final level. Still, very funny and very fun. Good job

Actually, when I get home I'll look into http://ocra.rubyforge.org/
Anyway a nice game.
@jagttt Thanks! I was working on content in the last few hours, but I ran out of time before I could get anything really good done.
The simple game-play does good for it, installing was a pain and running it was too (I'm on Windows), once it was running all was good.
