I have waited my whole life for this game. I managed to eat five kittens before I went insane.

Thanks!

I'm a little disturbed though because I don't remember putting any kittens IN the game. I hope you weren't eating them in real life.

That was fun. I lost a half hour to it without realizing the time. I'd say you succeeded. ;)

What, no score??

Great implementation, yo.

'The ghost shrieks with unholy glee as its grotesque being engulfs you. Mercifully, you go insane.

You are never heard from again...'

How appropriate.......

I was having fun mapping the maze, and then I was engulfed by a ghost with no warning.

(Also, I believe they prefer to be called "monsters".)

Ali, Scott: thanks! Score is something I should put in, I guess... maybe in (as Will suggested) Ms. Dotquest

Dop: I think your user image is giving you away.

Tim: Do you remember how it happened? It is possible to get eaten with no warning if you enter a square at the same time as another ghost who was invisible because they were around the corner. I guess I should fix that, eh. (It's also possible it was just a regular bug. My playtesting budget is very small.)

That could have been how it happened. All I remember is that I moved into a space, without any warnings, and was eaten. If it happens again I'll save the log.

Victory is mine! (admittedly I used cheatmode, as well as my own map, towards the end). These messages don't seem to be in quite the right order:

An ungodly howling begins from underground.You have eaten all the dots.

You are never heard from again.

With a cautious "waka", you eat the dot.

Gah! You're right. And I know exactly how I introduced that bug. It's fixed now (not that that helps in your case... I think DQ has rather limited replayability). I also made it more difficult to die without warning by providing some sort of eeriness emanating from directions if you went into which a ghost could eat you. Thanks for the bug reports, they are helpful! (And I am sick of dots myself.)
