asciiportalASCIIpOrtal, the free and funky game by Joe Larson, has been entered for the Independent Game Festival (IGF) 2010 awards.

Why do I/why should you care?

  • ASCIIpOrtal is a very playable little puzzle game with a great sense of atmosphere
  • It’s free and has some nice little game mechanics and suchlike
  • I did the sounds and music

Check it out at  www.cymonsgames.com/asciiportal and if you have any strong positive opinions, make noise about it and let’s see if we can keep the profile nice and high and IGF judge-visible :]

For more info about the music, go here (work in progress page with some additional downloads).

asciiportalASCIIpOrtal is out and rather good, for a few reasons:

– it’s a very playable little puzzle game with a great sense of atmosphere

– it’s an ASCII game, which means added retro goodness

– it’s free

– I did the sounds and music :]

Check it out, and if you can afford to, drop the author (Joe Larson) a dime or two by donating through his website, www.cymonsgames.com. He’s a nice guy and it’s a nice game that’ll keep you busy for a wee while.
