Ranked from 34 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
The player / in-game character only expects to start creating a game, "nothing can go wrong" because we do not expect something difficult or hazardous. But many inconveniences will stand in the way of the developer to prevent them from progressing in their work.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All of the code was created by me during the jam.
Pretty much all of the assets were found on the internet, associated credits are on the itch.io page.

How many people worked on the game?

This is a very nice idea for a game. I am having Unity 2020 throwbacks when it crashes randomly and causes me to lose progress. Luckily, no progress is lost for this game. Phew. This computer really needs a cleanup though, and probably upgrades to Windows 10? Jokes aside, I do like the gameplay quite a bit. The chaoticness and the frustration are immense but fun. The Windows 98 graphics trigger my nostalgia for the old days. And reading real code in a game is always a treat. Good job.

For some criticism and suggestions, I'd say you should have some onscreen instructions to tell the player what to do (i.e. open the IDE). There should be a way to include that nicely within the ui, but a simple popup will do. EDIT There is! silly me for not playing through the tutorial. Please ignore me

Anyway, this is quite a cool game! Keep up the good work!

Developer

What is "Windows 10" ?

Yes auto-save is a great feature of this weird green line code editor I guess

Oh you fool you didn't play the tutorial, did you ? 😆

Thank you for your kind and complete feedback !

Game is really awesome, but don't understand why we can't accept the 1 Million Dollars... lol
super funny and i like how the game is from our perspective as devs :D really funny and cool entry, great work!

Developer

Thank you for your kind message !

Have you checked your bank account, just in case ?

Great game, very addictive :)

Developer

Thanks for your kind message !

Nice! Completed every difficulty B^).

Would've been even more relatable with Discord notifications and the group chat screaming "bro theme is out wtf do we doooo"

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your message and trying all difficulties ! (even peaceful ?)

Yes I also had the idea, but I implemented the notification the last day and didn't want to push too much on it, I focused on improving other things. But that's definitely a good idea of improvement !

Hahahaha That's a funny take on the theme xD! This is so relatable, especially because the first Brackeys' jam of each year is ALWAYS near valentine's day, so I'm contantly bothered by my wife xD.

The gameplay is pretty unique, and I loved the idea as much as the execution ^^. The Windows screen feels nice to use, and there are a lot of little funny jokes here and there in the code =p. The difficulty settings are really cool! I thought the "nightmare" would just add more frequent stuff, but you went the extra mile of moving certain parts to add more difficulty, that's a nice lttle touch ^^.

This game has a lot of potential for more obstacles, with more interactions from the player than just clicking (dragging a cat away from the screen, typing a password because you have to log back in...) but it would be unfair to ask for that during a 1-week jam. 

Overall a really good and enjoyable game, congratulations ^^!

Developer

Thanks for your very kind and complete feedback !
Yes I also had lots of ideas of new obstacles, but I preferred to focus on doing some polish instead of adding too much things at once. Maybe I'll continue the project and make it evolve ! Thanks for your ideas anyway

Amazing game, loved the idea.

could make it so that you get a new deadline for answering you mom when she calls you

No time for distraction !

Thank you for your kind message !

Hey that one's too unrealistic. Brackey's releasing a video day after day? That one should be releasing a video nearly once a year :-)

Developer(+1)

Ahah nice one ! I have to say I told myself the same thing while testing !

Thanks for playing !

Level Nightmare =easy! could add more difficulty. 

Developer(+1)

You're just too strong ! Guess I'll have to add a SUPER NIGHTMARE mode !

Thanks for playing and testing the nightmare mode !!

Thank for your your message ! Really loved yours too

I tried every mode, and it was pure chaos—but I had so much fun! Haha. It’s a great game idea, and I really like it! :)

Developer

Not much to say on this one, but as someone riddled by ADHD, this felt pretty accurate. Charming, but nothing crazy.

Developer

Didn't pretend to do anything crazy bro ;)

Thanks for rating !

Why is this addicting!?!?! Anyways, awesome game love it and sooo relatable.

Developer

I'm really glad to hear that, thank you !!

Submitted(+1)

This is so relatable lmao
"just one more sprite and i'm done" *my gf texts me and i don't make the sprite in time

I also really enjoyed the visuals, great job!

yep you hit the nail on the head good job bud!

Developer

Thank you ! Please talk of this game with the Daimyo at some point !

Pretty much sums up the amount of distractions that we get haha, although I think you might want to get your computer checked for malware...

Do you mean you think there is a problem with my computer ?!

Thanks for playing !

It is a bit suspicious that it keeps saying I won a million dollars..

You're just very very lucky

Cute, and totally accurate. Simple, but I love the windows XP background <3

SUPER FUNNY! I lost it when I saw "POLICE" on the phone. Love the meta humor, very clever.
