goblinhack 1.14 released

Assuming the installer works, http://goblinhack.sourceforge.net/
a new version of this ascii hack game is out. I've added character
classes, leveled power ups and loads more. Please give it a shot
and let me know if it's any good

Quite cool. I can see where the inspiration for this came from.

First of all: The installer. Why!? A zip file would have been much
more practical. If you absolutely need an installer, it should also
add itself to add/remove programs. Manually running uninstall.exe
didn't seem to do much either, except remove uninstall.exe itself (?).
XP SP2 here, in case it makes any difference.

I also searched for some kind of readme, but didn't find any.

The graphical style is... refreshing, although a bit too intense.
Seriously, I think you should tone down the title screen. I just
wanted to get past it as quick as possible, and didn't bother to read
all the commands properly. The large enemies are cute.

The collision detection doesn't seem to work very well, though; it's
very hard to understand how and where I am supposed to hit (or perhaps
the enemies are just too long-lived). It's also annoying that I can
only press 3 (?) keys at once, but I guess that's a problem in the
hardware or the library handling the keyboard.

I played it without sound, so I dunno about that.

There should be an obvious way to leave the game, such as Alt-F4, or
just hitting Esc until something happens.
