I know it's text based but can you make the maze scren bigger. Select the Font and make it bigger. I've seen maze games like this and you make the maze box so damn small. You have tons of room to use in that giant grey box.
If it wasn't so basic and boring I think I would of enjoyed this game a little more. Seems like it was funner to make then it is to play......and that's why you get 2 stars,
I love Hunt The Wumpus, old vectrexy dungeon crawlers and ascii, and here they are, combined!
Nice, could use a map.
Nice N' Ominous.
this is a little bit much. i think it probably seems a lot easier to play given that you've designed it, but it's still really difficult to get the hang of. the perspecive changes too drasitcally when i hit left or right and when i see a turn i want to take but it's a few steps away, it's nearly impossible to tell whether ive entered the right hall or not. honestly i think this would be fine if you added even the tiniest bit of animation, but as of now it's just confusing and without being able to discern where ive gone/ take the same path back due to the poor graphics, i find it to be p. much just a shot in the dark whether i'd win or not. how am i supposed to respond to an ominous presence or a sense of dread when i feel like i dont even have any control over which direction i move in the first place? i played through it a few times, found the crossbow but died so much that it wasnt enjoyable even in the slightest.
the x/e/o thing is kinda iffy. it's just adding to the issue of the game having like 0 user friendliness.
overall i feel like this could be a good game if it were just more smooth and playable
the walls are really just there to keep you from systematically going thru each block in a straight line and aren't meant to be used for navigation. this originally had no graphical representation of walls and only coordinates, and i thought it'd be a little nicer for it to look like you're going somewhere :o but i can see it just made it more confusing. appreciate the feedback
