Since you get to pick your first letter, it's kind of easy to game. You could pick Z and save yourself that last trek back to the start, or a really useful letter that you don't get until late in the game, like E.

Excellent concept, but the mechanics need a bit more explanation. Such as: Your character must be on the ground for the game to process words. Words won't activate while jumping or falling. That was a big one. Beyond that, it would have been nice if the permanently erasable letters would have been done in a different color to the temporarily erasable ones; the jump physics were much too floaty for me; and finally, the music... did not impress. Without sound effects there was no reason not to just mute the whole thing.

I found a little bug, a FATAL bug... At the part of the map with say "_alfayws there" and where the R is, i can't break the "there" ( with the missing "h", even though i GOT the h. )

I liked it quite a lot. There is an inescapable trap early on if you dont go in order, and why in the name of all that is woolly would you make it end when you havent acquired all the letters yet? I dont really give a hoot about getting all the vowels or whatever, I want to finish every letter -_-

Awesome game. Being that the game is called ACSIIvania, I was expecting a little more of the other characters like the good old shade blocks (which it appears Kong is preventing me from posting in this comment)
Style reminds me of Jinsei Owata no Daibōken, a bit.(also known as Owata. If you've never played it, do it. I'm sure it's here on Kong)

nasty, hard, and I loved it. Problem, though. At the start of the game you can become stuck by the letters "nn" before you get the jump powerup.

Brilliant game, very unique. I shall give you 4 stars, the fifth shall be earned when you give me back my 2128.326 seconds back.

Clever little game, but like a couple people have said, it's far too easy to get stuck at the beginning if you go left before getting the ability to jump. I fell into that trap my first time and was unable to jump to free myself.

Fantastic idea, great execution, fun little game! In retrospect, getting stuck a couple of times at the very beginning wasn't that bad and made it all the more old school.

quite frustrating as there are many places where you can get stuck and have to start over. Example if you go left and get "W" without first going right to get Jump than you have to start over.
