Lovely idea, its really fun! I included it in my Movie Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out! :)

Developer

Awesome, thanks for playing!

I've played about half of the games for this jam and so far you're the only one to get perfect ratings in every category. Really enjoyed this and loved the fast-paced minigame-fest you included. Great work!

Developer

Yay, happy you enjoyed it so much :)

This is a really fun game! :D
I had to have a few attempts at the "snake" one, but once that was over - I got through the rest without too much issue (prob a bit of luck tho!)
I love the mini-games idea - gives lots of variety to the overall game.
The very first mini-game is actually pretty useful as a way to improve your typing skills - bonus! :D
The graphics were great, the game seemed to run well (no lag).
Also felt pretty close to the scene from the film (tho it's not like you could've got TOO close to the recreation - *wink wink*)
Overall, I was really impressed with this entry - congrats and good luck! :o)

Developer

Thank you very much :D

The game is too difficult for me, retried the snake part 8 times with no improvement and still more than 10 remaining dots. Anyway, I liked what I could play, the concept's good, as well as visuals and audio. Didn't watch the movie but hey, there are so many movies filled with Hollywood hacking silliness, I could pick any one and feel at home. In fact I chose "Hackers" and the game still felt perfectly fitted! I just wish the game had an "easy" mode ;)

I really felt like a hacker playing your game :D

It was challenging and fun. Good work here :)

Maybe the best game I have played in a while (even outside the jam) outstanding. I tip my hat. The ending the smug finish the missiles.. every time I thought I won there was another twist. Clever work! I have nothing critical to say except I would recommend you strip the movie out of this post jam and make a hacking game with all these components and more. I would pay for a mario party-esk experience like you provided.

flawless.

Developer

The best game of this jam!!! Thoroughly Enjoyed it! Finished it it 13 minutes. The snake part took some practice. All in all, I found it really fun.

This is so good. The antivirus level nearly made me rage quit but I got past it in the end and managed to steal the money. So many cool ideas in this game that actually work really well. Music is great, visuals are great, and the gameplay is interesting and varied. Fantastic job :D

Yeah those missiles are mean! Thanks very much :)

Funny stuff, I love it! I'm amazed that you were able to put together multiple mini games with this level of polish. Multi-monitor snake is hard.
