Description

A simple inter-dimensional navigation puzzle. You have a package to deliver to the curly house {} on the other side of town. Problem is, the bridge is out and dimension hopping is you only option.

Instructions

WASD or Arrow Keys to move. Some objects have a description if you walk towards them.

Dev Notes

Unfortunately during this jam real life got in the way for me, but I was able to put a few hours towards this in order to get something done. It's not much, but it's playable, and it's mine.

Coded from scratch in JavaScript.

*Edit: Fixed a few bugs that cropped up with putting it online.*

Loved the ASCII tileset - very fun and different vibe. And I appreciated how fast the game was to pick up, understand, play, and beat - really satisfying to just sit down and solve it :)

Success! Package delivered. Really satisfying :) I could definitely see myself playing a game like this at a larger scale.

And how novel of an idea to use the textarea as a means for input. Pretty neat. Hope you're doing well!

I always love seeing a JavaScript based game and its so satisfying to see the simplicity of this concept.

I liked checking out the different stuff that had descriptions. Def felt the need to check out all the diff corners and stuff to see if there was hidden stuff haha.

The ASCII art was nice and felt detailed despite it being so simple

The graphics give me some oldschool dwarf fortress vibes.I appreciatete that the gameplay is easy going enough to do while having a relaxed breakfast ;)

Interesting and quite unique concept, simple and fun!

Nice concept! Especially because it is a Javascript game.

Love the ASCII always cool to see people still keeping the style alive. Yeah it's unfortunate but sometimes life just get in the way, same happened to me. But even then, if the game only has 1 level, I think you managed to create something fun and interesting, love the dimension hopping mechanic!

Simple and interesting concept. The text box really helped a lot to understand your game in few time. Good job.

Bite-sized but really nice for what it is. Thanks for sharing!

Although it's fairly simple and you were busy, it's awesome you still did something for the jam! I liked how there were text prompts for the different parts of the worlds, rather than just warping from dimension to dimension only.

Really like the ascii graphics and the simplicity of it. It was the perfect length, I cant really tell why, but something with the combination of the graphics and the text describing whats going on made it a really nice experience. Maybe it's my love for dwarf fortress speaking :P Easily reading the source code with the "Open sandbox" was an extra nice touch! Hope all is well

Simple but entertaining. Congrats!

Very simple but this is a good start to a game. It's cool to see ASCII graphics used in an LD game for a change. The descriptions are fun too.

I liked the funny descriptions in the environment ! Congrats on finishing a game for this ludum dare !

Very cute and lovely~

Simple and fun! all I'd ask for in a game jam, the whole consept of hoping from one world to another reminds me of siri from the Witcher games lol. there isn't much to say about the game to be honest, I mean I wish there were more levels, maybe some music or sfx, but other than that it was a nice little experience, and that's nothing but nice! so nice work!!

It reminded me the old days of ASCII RPGs. Great entry.

Using dimensions (i.e. different maps) is really neat and adds a bit of depth. While short and easily finished within few minutes - I wasn't bored while doing so.

Good job!
