Basically its nicely done. It's very simplistic, which matches the theme right, but I miss some sound fx or music. Also, I found it a bit disapointing, that the graphics are in ASCII, but they flow freely on the screen. When I saw the screenshot I hoped for a "real" console game ;)"},{"author_name":"saint11","author_uid":"7981","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 1:56am","epoch":1367373060,"text":"Awesome game man!

So if you're moving right and hit space, you'll move down; again and you'll move left, etc.\r\n\r\n---------------------\r\n\r\nAlso, yes, this is the third entry, but I made EVERYTHING from scratch except the couple images that were taken from the other. I even re-did the borders and every line of code! I guess I could have simply retyped the two images in to make them \"from scratch\" too... The other two games were incredibly short (the original made in one day, the sequel for the Zero-Hour game compo)\r\n\r\nAlso: YOU WILL DIE!!! It'll happen! Collect money and use it for upgrades, or go back to previous levels and get bonuses too! The point of this game is to be challenging; if you breeze through it, then you must have grown up when video games were crazy difficult ;)\r\n\r\nENJOY!!!!!!!! I HAD A BLAST!!!! :D<\/p>","title":"ASCIIvader III"}
