Yours is my favorite. If it wins I'd be happy to make some artwork for it :)

This was a REALLY good entry. I like how you kept things simple with the battle system, but had a few classes with different powers. If the player had a physical copy it seems like the maps would work well if the player used spare change as tokens (pennies and nickels).
I played through this as the Fighter and had a lot of fun using the hammer to knock over things on the map (and take out enemies in the process). The other classes look fun too.
The gamebook would benefit from a little more art, but I can see the awesome core of it shining through regardless. Well done. =)
Xercies, considering we've had a late entry well after the deadline, you would be fully entitled to upload a revised version of your game with the number errors corrected.
Some of the others have recently uploaded revised versions of their games, including myself just now, so you would not be alone in doing this.
There are a couple of errors in the referencing - paragraph 2 should lead to 6, and 12 to the whatever is the first reference in the building - I assume 5, although there's no indication that you came in from outside. The two diagrams for the combats really should have squares rather than rectangles and some sort of icons - ideally coloured ones - would be a big improvement over the letters. The potential twist at the end is my favourite part.
