Man, what a game! I have it on my portable hard drive and I'm playing it non-stop (even at ... uh .. work).
I love the attention to detail - the way the simple graphics force your mind to create the visual for you. Example:
One of my cats was in a botched kobold raid and ended up getting two of it's legs injured. It now limps up and down the hallway, always prone and going very slowly... It eventually gets confused (blue question marks?) and turns around and goes the other way.
Now I'm sitting back and picturing this poor cat. it's draging itself along the ground, pushing itslef with it's hind legs and it's chin. It's yowling pathetically and is obviously in so much pain it's very confounded. But it's Fluffy! Bob the Miner's favorite cat. I can't butcher it!
So Fluffy has been a permanent fixture in my entry hallway, shuffling along horribly. And it really gets me right in the heart every time I scroll past him and I see his valiant effort to drag himself to the nearest pool of water.
Only a game with graphics as simple as this can evoke these kinds of feelings - a more graphical variant of the game might not give me the same level of imagination. It's really taking me back to the good ol' days of gaming where most of the cinematics were in my head.
Bravo!
