Haha, took me a moment to figure out how to play, but this "1 dimension" roguelike is pretty neat. You kept the core mechanics and gameplay but simplified it, and that's quiet a good job you did ! Very minimalist, and yet fun, I'll give you a 5 star for the theme.
Cute story and dialogs at the beginning too :)
Wow. Great idea. I love the implementation of the theme.
Took a little bit of getting used to, but once i did it was fun!
I actually really like this one. At first I had no clue what was going on, but after awhile, I started to understand everything pretty well. Excellent job on the theme. I'd love to see a much longer version of this game.
I'm back here to say that, after playing a lot of other entries, yours is one of the smarter so far, I really love it. It kinda reminds me The Linear RPG by Sophie Houlden (http://www.sophiehoulden.com/games/thelinearrpg/) I don't know if you ever played it.
Thank you for understanding. Immediately I'm sorry for my English. In Linear RPG I've played for a long time, to me there was not enough inventory and store =) A fun game.
Heads up - if your link says web, I don't like having to download an SWF.
This is the more Minimalistic game I played so far this LD! Great job, and btw, I killed the dragon! yay! :)
This was a really interesting entry. I'd say it absolutely fits the theme, spot on! Took me a while to figure out what's what but after that it was quite an enjoyable ride.
Wow! Amazing use of theme! I love the Implementation. I hope you go far in the jam. Wish it had some bloopy music though :)
It took me a few tries to understand what was going on ^^
Very smart concept, I love it !
One of my favourites so far, has a bit of depth to it. Really enjoyed the opening and ending sequences. Well done.
I want to make a graphical version, only this time without competition.
There cannot be enough roguelikes in the world. You managed to simplify them even further! nice.
Great intro, decent gameplay. The only thing I missed were stronger weapons.
Amazing. Loved every part of it. A bit tricky to get into the item/monster representations but it was overall super cool! :D
Thank you, it's very important to me. This is my first Ludum Dare =)
Controls were a little confusing, but once I figured them out this was kind of fun. I really like the way you did the opening and ending cut scenes XP

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.
Excellent. Took me a moment to notice what you were actually doing here, but this was a brilliant idea. Loved the little opening animation. I love roguelikes in general, but I did not expect anything like this in this jam. Great job.
