Did it just crash? I think it crashed. I'm not sure, that may have been the point.

Great game, very fun to play, though it is hard to navigate without the map. I love the cowbell, it's a great addeition that every game needs to have.

I would of added more and a map of some sort... however I started making it only a couple of hours before the end of Ludum Dare

Game is fun, though found a bit confusing at first (with exactly what to type) and I found it more fun actually with the map. Obviously minimal, but there was some fun RPG/grinding in the text-based game. I feel there could of been some more ways to interact with everything, or more of a story even, but for what it is it was a surprisingly fun time.

Bug fixed and when you die the command prompt doesn't instantly exit

Pretty fun text-based RPG. Like others've said, a map or an option to view a map would've been nice (Unless there actually is no world and the directions you walk don't matter). Nice work, regardless. :)

There is an image which represents the map... if you look in the source code and then res folder :D

I got a glowing sword and killed a minotaur, then died at the hands of another, more vile minotaur. I found the commands a bit hard to learn on my own, but I guess they are there in he entry page so it's all good. Fun game :)

I can see where you were going with this. Those minotaurs are vicious.

Don't know much about Java, but I got the following exception (Linux fedora 16)

*Adds cowbell to all future games*

Nice one.

A look around option, or some decision making would be a nice addition.
Joeslayer97author8 May 2013, 17:01
f7f5... my guess would be that either you have a version of java lower than java 7... or that the version of linux you are using doesn't like my .bat file

Sort of boring wish it had a story or something
