ARRP : Cracks and Crevices v0.5

[stu]

Well I've been sitting on it for ages, and tomorrow I'll be busy so here is my release for the ARRP

Well, here we go, 0.5 coming out after a long time (been sitting on it I guess) for the ARRP (Anual Roguelike Release Party).

Remember to read the readme.txt please...

For downloads (source for unix, binaries for win32), go to
https://redmine.bloodycactus.com/projects/sdlrl

and see the files page.

There was supposed to be more in this release but I figure put out what I got now, its still playable and has a win condition.

A bit... challengingly balanced though, all I got out of this game was standing in a corridor whacking at David Bowie and never hitting him until I died

yeah in 0.5 bowie is overpowered. he is somewhat reduced. if your lucky to get some longswords in 0.5, dual wield to stack the damage etc but yeah he is a breaker in 0.5
