Really wonderful use of the ASCII characters great old school vibe, which I like a lot. Also the sound of picking up the characters is nice. I also like the option to change the theme of the game, really great.
My only suggestion would be some type of music :) I really think something like an ambient low-fi soundtrack would be really neat, specially with the typing would give it a real chill vibe :D
You're the first person to mention the lack of music! Truth is, I like to play this type of game while watching tv, so the first thing I usually do is turn the music off. (Don't hate me!) That's why I decided to leave it out for now. Though, some ambient low-fi would be perfect. Maybe I'll add it down the road.
Haha it's true, I do the same thing honestly. I think it's always a good option to have music in your game and give folks the option to turn it off :) Really neat game though I hope you keep working on it :)
Really cool concept. I liked the game, but I didn't like that on level change things could hit me before I had a chance to react or notice them. Perhaps you can give the character a protective bubble for a few seconds on level change so the character isn't immediately hit.
Something about retro minimalist art styles just tickles my fancy, especially when they're executed beautifully like in this project. I never grew up with much ASCII art, but this game is really intriguing me toward the style. I love the typing sounds, the art, and the descriptions, and how committed everything is to the aesthetic. The different hazards making you pay fines or just making you lose money in general is a unique touch, and a fitting substitute to a standard health bar. I literally had no problems with it, excellent work so far!

Great note! Maybe if I add a delay before the mobs start moving?
That would work too.
Man, I really vibe with this game!

Aw, thanks so much Wasabi!! I'm so glad you like it. I'm planning to add some more levels within the next couple of weeks :)
