Special thanks to Essentia for beta testing -- as well as everyone out in Twitch-land for supporting me and my streaming!

DIRECTIONS:

Use the Numpad or Arrow Keys to move around.

Use [<] and [>] on stairs to move up and down floors.

Moving into enemies will melee attack them

Moving on to items will pick them up.

Use [L] to look around, and [ENTER] to examine objects.

If you have a ranged weapon equipped, [F] will enter Aiming Mode. [ENTER] fire.

Access your Inventory by pressing [I]. Items can be used or equipped.

Commenting to say that the Windows build will work on Mac/Linux with Mono.

Played through the whole thing. A few bugs here and there but overall a fantastic game that has a fair amount of content and is quite fun!

LavWa29 Aug 2016, 00:59

Amazing work, as always ! Thanks for the stream, it was very inspiring and entertaining :D

Multitudes2229 Aug 2016, 01:14

Fantastically fun to play, and really funny. I especially love the "crash" when you die.

alexv29 Aug 2016, 02:03

Low key watched the stream, mostly tuned in for the music though.
Surprised you didn't try to simulate a DOS console with the Unity GUI, I would've done that

geekguy10029 Aug 2016, 02:07

Very interesting! As I was watching you develop it, I imagined it would be hard to pick up and get a feel for, but it was very well instructed thanks to the controls on screen. Very unique and nice job!

KevKevOnFire29 Aug 2016, 04:06

Enjoyable, and I love the old rogue-like feel. Clever writing and lots of content for a jam game as well. However, I wish you hadn't emulated the sluggishness of the old terminals as well. Waiting for the screen to load new portions of the map killed it for me.

PotatoIng_29 Aug 2016, 06:55

Oh god, this is fun. Very simple, but really deep as well. Feels really roug-lige and with it being only in console - awesome! Really fun to play.

McMutton29 Aug 2016, 07:03

Didn't catch a lot of the stream while making my own game, but not much to say besides:
Wow... really love the game. So much to explore. The management of energy makes the game even more intessting. :D

gurkan9629 Aug 2016, 08:31

watch you make this while i was tinkering on my own game but didnt catch much of the gameplay since i was focused on other stuff turns out your game is really fun and very well executed i mean i should know i just wasted an hour in there when i was supposed to pay my taxe;)

Really nice game, using a console works really well. The slow old terminal fell really made it

xgeovanni29 Aug 2016, 16:02

Here's a little screenshot to show how it looks in my terminal on Linux with Mono: http://i.imgur.com/mHgPfbd.png

The only thing that doesn't work is the beeping.

Raid: Alien invasion in progress.
Dearmed Arbez is completely helpless.
At least he can flick switches.

Nice Game! Remembering the last target when firing would be a huge qol improvement.

sn0uk29 Aug 2016, 18:50

Really neat game

Mine10blox29 Aug 2016, 19:45

Very nice! Could only tune in to the stream occasionally though, doing my own entry!

Linus123xbb29 Aug 2016, 21:04

Fantastic game, it works very well in Linux aswell. I got stuck at one point but overall it was still a very nice experience.

OpeGameReviews29 Aug 2016, 23:50

well thought out. Great expression of the theme, my #1 so far GOOD JOB

Quicklyer29 Aug 2016, 23:58

Very impressed by this game quill. I listened in to at least half of the weekend, but I wasn’t following along close enough to know how to play beforehand.

It was simple to figure out, the aesthetic is very nice for a NetHack style game, and the flavor text is great.

Impressive game, 4k lines of code, all done while streaming. Built & ran it on my Xubuntu ‘quarantine computer’ with no problems.

ASPePeX30 Aug 2016, 09:08

Build to look like ancient technology, I like it alot :D

MffKing30 Aug 2016, 12:18

Nice ! I couldn't see the stream this time because I was developing my own game.

Yngvarr30 Aug 2016, 12:51

Roguelike about robots? I want to build it for linux to run it without wine!
Awsome work!

edve9830 Aug 2016, 17:21

My god, I can't believe that you did all this in 48 hours. I wish I was that good haha

tomdeal30 Aug 2016, 20:59

It's very hard to follow the stream when you try to stream and do your own entry, but the after-submit partystream was great :-)

That said, I like the game you made there. It might be a bit too long for a LD entry, but the tech behind it and the amount of content is really cool!

Brackeys30 Aug 2016, 21:38

Cool game as always Quill! Tuned into the livestream, had a lot of fun, especially at the end ;)

Hero778530 Aug 2016, 21:54

I enjoyed it as always
Quill you're too good

Recursiveanomaly31 Aug 2016, 01:05

Great game! I really enjoy the choice between using the bucket and web cam early on. The energy system is very punishing.

wr4th8831 Aug 2016, 02:13

I love it! I wish the old castle game from long ago was this well put together. Also a fan of your tutorials, they've helped me out tremendously.

mato2631 Aug 2016, 17:14

Great expression of the theme :D And amazing work for combo entry :D I have no idea how you made it that fast

keln31 Aug 2016, 17:54

Great game! Never played an old rogue-like before, you made me want to play old roguelikes after this

Brickkid5121 Sep 2016, 15:58

It's really addicting. I had a lot of fun playing it!

coborax2 Sep 2016, 19:17

Awesome game quill, great job!! :D

hermetic3 Sep 2016, 01:16

Great Rogue-like. Lots of fun. You could have used ☺ for your main character and made it a dwarven warbot.. ;) Loved the references and creative content. Don't people normally spend 7 days on these?

I ran into an update bug or something when I sat on the inventory screen examining items for a while, but esc and back in and everything cleared up.

I have a collection of your games sitting around and play most of them. This is great addition.

mpe3us3 Sep 2016, 15:04

Great job as always Quill :)

SnakeXan6 Sep 2016, 09:35

nice game quill, as always! the game reminds me of the old castle game on dos, great old times!

very nicely fitting into the theme on multiple levels: roguelike, console based and character graphics

as you've said on youtube, add procedural generation of levels and you can go miles with this game!
