Save Larisa

About this game

Save Larisa is a simple yet challenging text-mode game that tasks players with navigating an ASCII character through a perilous environment to rescue Larisa. Inspired by the old TV show The Secret World of Alex Mack, the game involves avoiding spikes, reaching the bottom of the screen to save Larisa, and then making your way back to the top. Despite its straightforward concept, Save Larisa is known for its difficulty, with the author even noting in the documentation that they’ve only successfully completed it once! Gameplay: The gameplay in Save Larisa is simple but intense: Navigate the Maze: Move your ASCII character through a text-based maze filled with spikes and obstacles. Rescue Larisa: Reach the bottom of the screen to rescue Larisa. Return to Safety: After rescuing Larisa, navigate back to the top of the screen to complete the level. Avoid Spikes: Spikes are scattered throughout the maze, and touching them ends the game. The game’s mechanics are easy to understand, but the challenge lies in the precise movements and quick reflexes required to avoid the spikes and complete the level. Visuals and Design: Save Larisa features text-mode graphics, with ASCII characters representing the player, Larisa, spikes, and the maze. While the visuals are minimal, they are functional and add to the game’s retro charm. The interface is straightforward, keeping the focus on the gameplay.
