CONTROLS (READ THIS): One press of any key (WASD) and your character starts moving in that direction (same as snake). If you're holding a key down, you're doing it wrong.

If the same key is pressed again, you stop. If another key is pressed you start going in that direction.

I know it's a bit weird, the alternative was to make you press a key for every single step (like H is used for fighting).

Story and other stuff:

All was nice and well for the stickpeople,

until the evil programmer decided that even though anything with ASCII graphics is definitely minimalistic,

Roguelikes must be the way to go for LD 26 ("Yo Batch, one characterz so minimalistic!").

The world is collapsing, stickpeople transform into @'s, the walls can (and will) kill you!

You should run (right) for your life.

Written in Batch, sweat and tears (Developing was truly a technical adventure).

Download the file, unrar and run "main.bat"

Many thanks for playing my game!
