After discussing this with the jam host, we decided to requalify your submission, but please keep in mind that it will likely get a lower rating as you did not follow the rules.
The reason I disqualified it at first was that even thought it technically did use ASCII characters to draw the graphics, the way it was done strays too far from what is usually meant by an "ASCII"/TTY game. Your game appears to be combining characters rendered from a TrueType font which are oftentimes overlaid on top of each other - something that cannot be done in a regular character stream displayed in a terminal/terminal emulator.
