It's a roguelike-like because it's like a roguelike. It features dungeons similar to classic roguelikes, yet has turn based battles.

It was originally meant to be a game to lampoon the chipmusic scene, but decided to add different 'languages' so more than just people of the chipmusic scene can enjoy it. :3

For those of you on Linux/OS X, you should have zero problems playing this (although Mac users, if you want background music, you'll have to install gstreamer).

Windows users, you have two options, neither of which are as easy as running the game on Linux/OS X:
1) Install cygwin and the ncurses library. But be warned the game is extremely (virtually unplayabley) slow.
2) Install some *NIX distro in a virtual machine. Personally, I recommend Damn Small Linux or Puppy Linux, as they're both damn small, yet still Linux, and should be plenty suitable for this.

TOTALLY READ THE README WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD IT.

If you want to play the Generic version, and not the chipscene version, simply start the game with the 'generic' argument. :3

Also, it's still quite basic. Small dungeon + random battles, and that's about it. :p

AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK. :D

there is a full, non emulated, linux libraby add on for windows, so you can run linux stuffs (to a degree) on windows at full speed
