PLEASE READ README BEFORE PLAYING
About
=====
LDKittenRL
Your friend has ventured into a cave without you and is lost and alone! It is
up to you to save him! Battle through hordes of 90s boy band members, people
who work in predatory industries, and other horrors of the deep!
Don't read any of the source files if you care about spoilers. This includes
the ./game file that runs the game.
Requirements
============
You'll need Ruby 1.9.3 and a terminal that supports colors.
Playing
=======
Navigate to the directory in your terminal and run
` ruby ./game `
without quotes. If you're a seasoned Ruby user, you may have a different
command for running Ruby files. Also, Linux/OS X users may simply
` chmod +x ./game `
` ./game `
This will give the file permission to be run, and the second command runs the
file.
Controls
========
y - Northwest
u - Northeast
h - West
j - North
k - South
l - East
b - Southwest
n - Southeast
> - Down stairs
< - Up stairs
U - Use item, follow up with the key in your inventory
g - Pick up item
. - Wait a turn
Tips
====
When you level up your unarmed damage and health go up. Try to avoid insurance
salesmen at early levels. They're pretty mean.
Good luck!

I can't really package Ruby. It's usually included on operating systems (that aren't Windows I guess). Thanks for attempting to check out the game though :P.
@rawbits
Cool story, bro. Have fun not playing any game ever since they all have dependencies of some sort (DirectX?!).
Actually, when I get home I'll look into http://ocra.rubyforge.org/
Anyway a nice game.
@jagttt Thanks! I was working on content in the last few hours, but I ran out of time before I could get anything really good done.
The simple game-play does good for it, installing was a pain and running it was too (I'm on Windows), once it was running all was good.
