On my default 80-symbols-wide console your graphics is broken, so I couldn't play.

Doesn't run, it has a missing dll: libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll.

Had to play on a limited-width console. Was painful.

Anyway !

First of all congratulations for posting a game ! :)
And very... innovative concept.

Making a console based game isn't easy, and yours feels kind of... empty. I don't really know what is the point of the game and it is very repetitive.
Understanding the game mechanics through the "tutorial" was also hard. I didn't really understand what I should do until I actually failed multiple times.
Also, your game is only for windows, and my windows console is limited in width. Try to have a game that ports to more platforms.

Good luck for your next games !

You can add "-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++" to your compiler flags to fix the dll issue.

Also the graphics are broken under a certain console width.

My feedback would be next time why not experiment with using javsacript to produce a "fake console" in the web? There should be libraries which achieve the effect.

Really like the ascii art, original theming and music :)

The words were a little difficult to read because they're so small, but the idea was really innovative and the game was fun.
