Description

This is meant to be an homage to old-school text adventure games, so if you don't like a lot of reading, this game isn't for you! Please just move on, rather than rating it poorly for being a genre you don't like.

I originally made this for Kongregate's music game contest, but didn't get it ready in time, so I thought I'd fix it up and release it now.

The game combines old-school RPG game play with music composition for stat bonuses. Don't worry if you aren't musically inclined; the composition can be as basic or as in-depth as you like.

How to Play

Basic controls are just clicking on buttons with the mouse to perform actions. Combat happens automatically, but you can click combat buttons to perform special actions.

Detailed instructions and tutorial in game.

Hi from Reddit ^_^

I second the name-your-song idea, in the heat of battle I'm trying to remember where my magic defense song is. Is it 3? 4? Crap. Dead.
This game also severely needs a music import/export feature for those of us who want to save songs we like for later re-use (or just because we're nuts).
It's very addictive for us old-schoolers. Well done.

I third the song naming, also, I hope that you can make more than one enemy and boss per level...although it's your choice.no big deal.
