This is a minimalistic roguelike I made for Ludum Dare #23. The theme was Tiny World, and I couldnt think of any ideas so I made a literally small roguelike. I lost ~12 hours of time, and was slightly depressed and demotivated around the time of the event. I feel I didnt do too well, and as a result the game is pretty sucky. I did learn a bit about loading levels from images, however.

There isn't much of a challenge. It looks like you spend more time on the intro than on the actual game.
Like I said in the description, I was pretty demotivated this weekend and didn't feel at all like making the game, so it sucks. And no, I spent only about an hour on the intro :P
You got through and submitted a game, so you conquered the challenge! Sounds like you learned a few things too in the process, so all the better! It's especially hard to pull through when you feel unmotivated to do anything (That's what happened midway through LD21 for me.)
Like you said, it definitely needs some work, but I enjoyed the simplistic level design.
Jedi: If you still want to play it, then yes, you need XNA. You can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20914 MadGnomeGamer: Your graphics card needs to support some pixel shader thing for any XNA game, iirc you can disable pixel shader somehow but I can't remember how.

Er...it's asking me to get a better graphics card..for a ROGUELIKE?!
Sorry, but it doesn't work on my computer.

Even though I can't play the game, I got a lot of laughs out of the readme and listening to the intro sounds, so I'm giving you +5 for humor :).
