ERROR: Could not load graphics by Renaldo

[raw]
made by Renaldo for LD31 (COMPO)
A fail while booting the operating system forces you to play with no graphics, in text mode.
"ERROR: Could not load graphics" is a text quest to find the VGA exit.

Controls:
-arrow keys: move the character
-space bar: interact with the objects

It's my first entry to Ludum Dare. :)

Great entry! Is it always the same? The ending was somehow not a surprise--but funny all the same.

I though this one was interesting. I wish I'd had more time to play before rating - pretty good! I found the concept very humorous.

Nice ASCII map making, and the swirling graphics at the end of the game were pretty cool too. It would be nice if all of the objects had popups, to maintain consistancy, but otherwise this game was a short but pleasant experience.

Short and sweet. Reminds me a lot of this game 'Temple of Apshai' that I played a looong time ago ;)

Great game, with a really nice ending. At first the game can be a bit confusing about all these doors opening and closing but really worth the try :)

Really good work on this one.

Cool idea and a nice presentation - good job!

A few things confused me but honestly I liked the confusion, it was part of the exploration process.

I like the ASCII representations, especially the human and tree! This is a fun way to experience a story.

Fun concept, I would have liked some more mechanics in the game in order to give it a bit more purpose. Having the goal of for example trying to fix the error in the game would have been really fun!

Not cool Bad Luck Rock! Wow, one of the higher scores I've given out. This was extremely well-executed. You should be really proud of this. Awesome.

That was awesome! I enjoyed the surreal journey and the ending was satisfying. It would have been cool to see some choices to the player feel more like they are exploring. The gameplay kind of reminded me of ZZT in a good way.

I wasn't able to run the game, and so I cant really rate it... but it looks pretty cool! Great idea as well

Ascii Rules !
Found some item (mainly chest) that didn't do anything while trying to interact with them (not already opened, no text on the bottom, no nothing).
The end was ... surprising to me, and kind of frustrating. But it make me smile !
Good job !

Cool game ! I didn't know what to do after getting the gun. The texts are fun and well written, great job on that !

Nice, and with just a bit of wit for humor.

Very funny and charming entry, now I know to fear the bad luck rock. A bit short, but I did really enjoy what I played. I wasn't too sure how it fit the theme, however. Good work!

This is a really cute setup. :) I dig the console adventure game feel and there were some funny objects to find. Short and sweet, but nicely done!
