Ascape by oldtopman

[raw]
made by oldtopman for LD21 (-)
This game has been written from scratch in C, which I learned the day of the contest. The source code is straightforward and I encourage you to take a look.

FIRST!!!

Yes, I firsted my own game's comment box. Why? I've never done this before. Its a new experience. And the only person to get mad is me :D

The page looks a little sad with no comments :(

It's mildly entertaining.. With most of the early choices leading in death, and me just randomly picking a path shortly afterwards leading to winning... It's sort of a frustrating game.. Even when I won I didn't get the satisfaction I expected.

Pretty funny although too short (with everything except one path leading to death). And you've taught me that running a command-line application in wine actually runs it in the terminal. And now for some things I feel the need to reply to (spoilers ahead).

"*You'd have to recompile me to add a giving functionality, you fool!*"
modprobe giving

"KILLALL -KILL YOU"
bash: KILLALL: command not found
How could you be so case-insensitive!
Oh, wait, shouldn't that be -u?

Yay, the first command line game I've played! Congrats on finishing. Consider adding more interactivity next time - the game is pretty straightforward as is.

Bonus for humor (some lines almost made me chuckle), but otherwise... the length, quite total randomness of the responses... I noticed you wrote that you've learned the C on the day of the competition, but even then you could give it a bit more - judging by the source size I'd guess you spent about hour (two at max) making it including the "learn C" part

I am sorry, but this is very boring. I just had to try at random the options. Also the length.........

The game felt a bit like trial and error. Every time I had to just try. It might be easier if there were a few different paths, instead of just one. It would also make the game different each time you play.

Sorry, the source code was funnier than the game. ;-)

@foobaz: I'll be sure to add that into version 2.0 (along with real ascii art)

@johnfn: I will be doing that should I make another text based game.

@shigor: You underestimate my incompotence ;)

@ratking: Glad you liked it!
