A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

there once was a cat named Ascii. what more is there to say?

jump, meow, and catch mice in this short but sweet 2D platformer made for the Everything Is Text Jam 1 in just under two weeks.

Controls:

  • A & D or <- & -> ---- move left or right
  • space ---- jump (twice to double jump)
  • left click ---- meow
  • esc ---- pause (option to restart level)

Fonts Used:

  • Courier New  ---- all ascii art
  • UbuntuMono Regular ---- all text (and npc faces)

Software Used:

  • Unity ---- game engine
  • BeepBox ---- music
  • NaturalReader ---- text to speech used for sound effects

a quick note, there seems to be an occasional problem with hitboxes interacting strangely and making you get stuck on platforms. if this happens, simply pause and restart the level.

update: added mac build!
