That'd be a shame, but I'll give it at least one more try. Here's a
new download page:

Some great ideas here, though I haven't had time to go beyond the tutorial I
like what you've done with it so far

Yes, it certainly has a unique feel. I like the concept very much. I
have not got far yet, but I am getting much better at avoiding those
bots. The moving beams is a very nice touch.

Some thoughts...

The three views need to be separated by at least a character, I easily
got confused as to what belonged to what square. Also I would like the
character centred at all times, as there are too many blind spots if
he is not centred. I had to resort to using the ':' command to centre
the screen. Maybe at the very least it needs a centre screen command.
The 3 views sometimes did not show my character at all!

Other probs,
Some letters are wierd, i.e the 'e'. Also I would guess that you
could apply colour to the text rather than having a separate file for
each colour. I dont know though as I dont know much about java. Slash
might be able to help you here.

The tutorial text sometimes cuts a letter from a word on the right.

The jumping tutorial room does not tell you that you must press space
to finish your jump. I killed the game as I thought I was stuck in the
air.

Looking seems to take turns, robots moved, I dont know if this is
intended or not.

I encountered large freezes before screen redraw catched up to my key
presses.

I would like to differentiate between the robots with out looking at
them. (different symbol/colour)


Anyway, good work on a unique game and playstyle. Keep it up.
