ASCIIpOrtal Has Been Released

Posted by Soulskill on from the watch-out-for-those-boulders dept.

maclizard writes "After much waiting, ASCIIpOrtal has now been released. Joe Larson, the man behind the game, has made sure to provide numerous mirrors so as to avoid the Slashdot effect that killed his site several months ago. An interview with Larson (part two here) is available as well."

  1. Well, ain't that something. by mdm-adph · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm both proud in a weird way and horrified in a weird way that there exists 64-bit Linux binaries for this but no 32-bit. :P

  2. Mirror by BluePeppers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If people want a link to a mirror, one for the 64 linux binaries is: http://download566.mediafire.com/b2wsmldgy9gg/yzdneznfujo/asciiportal-1.0-linux-x64.tar.gz

    However, I'm getting an error, stating "Error - No map files found.

    You must place all level files in a directory with the same base name.
    The default should then be in \maps\maps001.txt"

    I've tried renaming them, but it doesn't seem to work. And what's going on with the backslashes?

    I guess you never played Portal: The Flash Version?

    It is a 2d puzzle game and is still quite interesting. So, maybe your argument is actually more of an opinion? The last levels are obviously more interesting...
