Klondike Nuggets by jerombd
It's a basic roguelike where you explore a XIXth gold mine.
Unfortunately, I added only few features: you can collect gold, food and lamps (very useful to avoid death).
The map reveal all the room.
The goal is (of course) to explore a lot of levels.
[arrows] or [numpad] to move.
[numpad 5] or [SPACE] to wait.
[L] to look around (buggy) and [SPACE] to escape.
I didn't have time to add these features:
- inventory
- fauna (AI, etc.)
- PNJ (ghost of dead prospectors! outlaws! spirits!)

My first attempt to make a roguelike: well, 3 days is not enough^^ So I probably add more stuff in the next weeks, and the post-LD version should more interesting.

A little confusing to start with though.
Overall, it wasnt bad for a DOS Game lookalike!
I found there wasn't enough lamps, and the gameplay didn't feel all too rewarding; but I did enjoy myself for a good 5-10 minutes until I had absolutely no light, walking blind and suddenly died :P
I hadn't played a proper roguelike game until now, but it was nice. It's a pity, though, that I was able to grab all those cool items but couldn't use them... =/
3 days is indeed short. Consider entering the 7drl. Good job nonetheless.
Inventory + better code + some improvements. Still a shitty game^^ But I'd love to see someone create a real roguelike with this theme ;)
