The DOS game from 1984 recreated

a year ago

BEAST is a homage to the 1984 ASCII game 'BEAST' by Dan Baker, Alan Brown, Mark Hamilton, and Derrick Shadel.

Install via Homebrew or Cargo, or build from source.
Gameplay involves surviving levels by crushing beasts with movable blocks; player's position attracts beasts.
Introduces super-beasts and eggs in later levels, increasing difficulty.
Global highscore is synced with an online server for worldwide competition.
Attempts to stay close to the original game with some differences highlighted.
Differences include board size changes, gameplay mechanics, and level design.
