- Game Overview
This was my entry for the Game Jolt Minimal Contest.
I was initially going to make some deep sci-fi adventure, but with the limited amount of time I decided to just tell the story of when I traded my eyes to Wizard in exchange for a kiss with Beautiful Maiden. The ending is of course changed to be more interesting.
Some Background
I guess this game probably requires some explanation. You see, I'm a programmer. I don't do art or graphics. Just a straight up programmer. I wanted to make a game, but I couldn't be bothered with making any artwork for it. Also, because of the love for platformers in the indie world, I wanted to make a platformer. So, what does one in my situation do? Simple. He makes a Text-Based Platformer.
How Does it Work
There are absolutely no graphics in this game besides straight up white text. There is no styling done to the fonts besides different sizing. This is NOT a text adventure game. It's a platformer. There are points in the world that are designated by how far the player character is from them. There is no graphical view of the character. You must figure out his position by figuring he's in the middle of the view somewhere, and by the distance between various points in the world. You should be able to figure it out when you're in the game.

I loved the concept! Although it needeth not any graphics, maybe changing the font to a Sans-Serif and getting some music or background sounds would make it better...
4!

Rating doesn't work somehow... :(

The rating went through. thanks for the feedback, Matt. The reason there's no music is because it was made for the Minimal contest, and I wanted it to be as minimalistic as possible.

I rated it 4 because of the lack of graphics. Great idea, it could be improved with some sounds :D

You rated it low based on the whole idea of the game. The whole point of the game was to make a platformer without any graphics. Also, it was made for the Game Jolt Minimal Contest. No graphics, no sound.
