What is ASCIILL?

You play a special agent in a 2D, grid-based dungeon crawler set in an alien temple. Following B.O.S.S.’s orders, you collect treasures, fight creatures with grenades and TNT, and disable the temple’s security. Numbers indicate how many traps surround each cell, helping you choose routes through nonlinear levels with randomized traps and treasures.
