ASCIILL: A Retro ASCII Adventure of Betrayal and Explosions

Enter the treacherous world of ASCIILL, a unique roguelike adventure game where you play as Special Agent ASCIILL. Sent to an alien temple brimming with deadly traps, you'll face a communication blackout, forcing you to navigate using only alphanumeric characters. Prepare for a challenging experience blending puzzle-solving and action.

Under the orders of the enigmatic B.O.S.S., your mission is clear: plunder treasures, eliminate alien beasts, and disable the temple's security system. But as you delve deeper into the temple's mysteries, you'll uncover a shocking truth: you and Earth are mere pawns in a cosmic game orchestrated by powerful universal forces. Will you rise above your role and become a key player?

Tips and Tricks for Survival

Hearts and Lives: Extra lives protect you from traps. Triggering a trap with an extra life disables it permanently. Start each level with one life & find hearts for more!

Important Note: Extra lives won't save you from bugs, lasers, or drowning. Death by these hazards means restarting the level!

Light Mode: Reduce eyestrain by switching to light mode within the menu.

Treasure and Navigation: The procedural generation ensures that all treasures and narrow passages are always reachable, requiring careful observation and strategic movement. There is always a safe path to victory!
