MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
A minimalist take on dungeon crawling with a hint of puzzling involved and plenty of good, old fashioned loot gathering. Runs entirely in console using the curses library.
Use the numpad or q,w,e,a,d,z,x,c for movement, s or 5 to stop time, and spacebar to heal yourself.
The game is also customizable, you can make and add new levels to it, and add new items to find in-game by editing the games data files.

I enjoyed it, however it was kind of annoying how the monsters could move diagonally
Ignore my first comment - it seems Dropbox doesn't like it if you try downloading files directly instead of actually visiting the file's download page.
Nice game though! It reminds me of games like Desktop Dungeons, in that you're constantly planning ahead whilst playing.
Very cool: I've often wanted to make a game like this. Classic ASCI play reminds me of Caverns of Kroz from my days on the Apple II.
Oh man! This is a great return to my old days crawlin' Nice one!
minimal dungeon game, I like it. The custom thing is very sweet!
Cool game! I do love me some ASCII :)
A note to Arch Linux users (and perhaps users of other distros as well): I had to symlink libncurses.so.5 to libtinfo.so.5 inside the game folder and run it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ ./MiniCrawl to get the game to run.
Most minimal roguelike i've ever seen, it surely fits the theme!
Nice game, in console.
What language did you use (the source code link does not work)?
BTW the idea is kind of similar to my game.
My game is also in console.
Oop. Sorry about that, accidentally moved the folder out of Dropbox. Should be fixed now. I wrote it in C++ using Code::Blocks as my editor and PDCurses for Windows development.
Cool crawl! Loved loot names and chess-style thinking. Also perfect theme fit .)
Really great game. I liked the 0ld-sk3wl feel about it ;) The enemys were a bit annoying, but thats part of the whole thing. I enjoyed playing it, although I'm pretty bad at it :D
Good work! :) It'd be nice to see a way to outrun or dodge the monsters because if one spawns in the same room as you and the only exit is beyond it you're powerless to do anything.
nice idea, but I really don't like the controls, I keep using up the health potions, I would much prefer wasd
oh, good old rogue like dungeon crawlers - what would a ludum dare be without you
I can't get enough of this games - and this one is a very nice one indeed, loved it
well done sir :)
Pretty difficult to stay alive! (well, it's a roguelike, so that makes sense xD)
It was interesting trying to figure out how to get around the enemies using the least amount of resources. I also like the focus on user generated content. Good job!
Very challenging, also a lot more tactics-focused than most roguelikes :)
I wasn't sure if it ended or it crashed :L if it didn't crash, an end screen would be nice!
I liked what I did play, although the controls took a while to get used to.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I'm getting "invalid zipped folder" errors after trying to extract the Windows game or the source files, so I'm afraid I can't play it. The game looks fun from the image though, so I hope you can fix this!
