Thanks, I've been thinking off and on about how I could place the letters better, and since the contest is over I may switch from the letters altogether. Using them for enemies instead.

About not being able to fire, you do need to reload. Was that the problem (unclear ReadMe?) or do you think it was an actual bug?

Thanks again.

This was my entry for Feb experimental gameplay project, ASCII theme.

It's a procedurely generated shooter that uses a given text file to build the area you battle in (so far only a direct representation of the file) and given music files to create your health bar and number of enemies.

Loading the battlefield/enemies is slow and sometimes crashes, but what I'm looking for is if the fighting is fun.

Too easy? Is it worth expanding how the levels are laid out? General feedback welcome too.

Made in Construct so DirectX 9 is required.

I'm Anthony, though I prefer MisfitBYTE obviously. The only games I've released so far have been for EGP themes, just because it gives me the excuse to not worry about art so much that I never sit down to make the game. I love turn based RPGs, my favorite being Legend of Legaia becausr it had an interesting battle systm. And for the past few months my entire online life has been accomplished on my cellphone.

Heres my gamejolt profile and I now blog during my game development in quick blurbs mostly about failing myself.
