Xong | Submitted by costik on Mon, 02/08/2010 - 20:56. |
Xong is an odd and idiosyncratic munge of a Rogue-like, a level-based puzzle game, and an Arkanoid clone. It's Rogue-like, in that it's an ASCII graphics game with procedurally-generated levels, but the actual gameplay is puzzle solving with Breakout-like aspects.

My usual reaction to Breakout/Arkanoid style games is "meh." It's one of the easiest types of games to code, and so there are scads of them out there, most of them very dull. I fired up Jardinains with the expectation that I'd be uninstalling it quickly. An hour later, I was still playing, with a toddler on my lap following the game avidly.
What makes Jardinains different can be summed up in one word: gnomes.
