ASCIIpOrtal is a text based puzzle game in which you overcome obstacles by using portals. Grab your hand-held portal device and enter the test chambers for a non-euclidean good time.
If they player or any object passes through one portal way-point it will seamlessly exit the other. Since both way-points are the same point on the map the player's view through the portal reflects this and space warps around you as you pass through the portal.
From the main menu you can choose to 'Begin' from the first map, 'Select Level' to visit any level you've already beaten, 'Change Map Set' to load a new set of levels from any map set subdirectory in your ASCIIpOrtal directory, Read the 'Instructions', view the map set's 'Credits', or 'Quit' the game.
The game is still in heavy development. For the latest version please check the home page!
