Not an Original game,
But an Original presentation. I enjoy playing this. I think I just got myself a new game to play out of pure boredom. Great fun!
Use the arrow keys to move around and avoid EVERYTHING! New enemies will keep appearing, and you've gotta dodge them all. You do get a health bar for 3 hits to keep from dying too fast at least... How long will you survive? Can you go a full 90 seconds???
This game was created for the Experimental Gameplay Feb 2011 challenge: ASCII. I actually made it in 6 hours! If it gets any kind of plays at all, or you see even a glimmer of fun in it, I'm planning a much better version (to fulfill the whole one-week challenge to Experimental Gameplay), where you can return fire, fight multiple enemies, play with multiple difficulties (bigger versions of Squareface) and the like. It'd be called ASCIIvader 2: Revenge is a Dish Best Served Square.

Thank you very much!! I appreciate your kind words greatly :)
Messed up controls?
I like it, but my character keeps on moving to the right of the screen randomly, followed by quick death. -.-
Very odd! Does this happen only when you let go of the arrows, or does it happen during all of play? I appreciate the bug reporting :) And I'm glad you otherwise liked it!
