Commenting to say that the Windows build will work on Mac/Linux with Mono.

Played through the whole thing. A few bugs here and there but overall a fantastic game that has a fair amount of content and is quite fun!

Fantastically fun to play, and really funny. I especially love the "crash" when you die.

Low key watched the stream, mostly tuned in for the music though.
Surprised you didn't try to simulate a DOS console with the Unity GUI, I would've done that

Very interesting! As I was watching you develop it, I imagined it would be hard to pick up and get a feel for, but it was very well instructed thanks to the controls on screen. Very unique and nice job!

Enjoyable, and I love the old rogue-like feel. Clever writing and lots of content for a jam game as well. However, I wish you hadn't emulated the sluggishness of the old terminals as well. Waiting for the screen to load new portions of the map killed it for me.

Oh god, this is fun. Very simple, but really deep as well. Feels really roug-lige and with it being only in console - awesome! Really fun to play.

Didn't catch a lot of the stream while making my own game, but not much to say besides:
Wow... really love the game. So much to explore. The management of energy makes the game even more intessting. :D

Really nice game, using a console works really well. The slow old terminal fell really made it

Here's a little screenshot to show how it looks in my terminal on Linux with Mono: http://i.imgur.com/mHgPfbd.png

The only thing that doesn't work is the beeping.

Raid: Alien invasion in progress.
Dearmed Arbez is completely helpless.
At least he can flick switches.

Nice Game! Remembering the last target when firing would be a huge qol improvement.

Very impressed by this game quill. I listened in to at least half of the weekend, but I wasn’t following along close enough to know how to play beforehand.

It was simple to figure out, the aesthetic is very nice for a NetHack style game, and the flavor text is great.

Impressive game, 4k lines of code, all done while streaming. Built & ran it on my Xubuntu ‘quarantine computer’ with no problems.

Awsome work!

My god, I can't believe that you did all this in 48 hours. I wish I was that good haha

It's very hard to follow the stream when you try to stream and do your own entry, but the after-submit partystream was great :-)

That said, I like the game you made there. It might be a bit too long for a LD entry, but the tech behind it and the amount of content is really cool!

Great game! I really enjoy the choice between using the bucket and web cam early on. The energy system is very punishing.

I love it! I wish the old castle game from long ago was this well put together. Also a fan of your tutorials, they've helped me out tremendously.

Great Rogue-like. Lots of fun. You could have used ☺ for your main character and made it a dwarven warbot.. ;) Loved the references and creative content. Don't people normally spend 7 days on these?

I ran into an update bug or something when I sat on the inventory screen examining items for a while, but esc and back in and everything cleared up.

I have a collection of your games sitting around and play most of them. This is great addition.

nice game quill, as always! the game reminds me of the old castle game on dos, great old times!

very nicely fitting into the theme on multiple levels: roguelike, console based and character graphics

as you've said on youtube, add procedural generation of levels and you can go miles with this game!

One of the best theme interpretation. I like how oldschool this game feels. It has very nice and cool gameplay. Great job, really fun game.
