Good job submitting a game! Needs a little play testing and polish, but you're on the right track.

The game boasts appealing pixel art and a promising concept, but its execution - especially during the tutorial—is noticeably rough. Personally I stuck with "Type Open Tutorial", I tried "opentutorial", "open tutorial", "Open Tutorial" and a few similar options with no luck. While the visuals capture the hacking theme nicely, the confusing onboarding and some bugs detract from the overall experience. With some refinements to the tutorial and a bit of bug fixing, this project could become much better.

Great graphics! Love the pixel art and colors. The idea is really cool too. Unfortunately, like others said in the comments below, I couldn't get past the tuturial. I hope you can fix it up at some point, as I would really like to play the rest of the game. I'll wait to rate this game until later to see if you can fix it before the review period is over. Good Luck!

I don't know about anyone else, but I couldn't get past the tutorial as alt R opened the settings of my browser? Is this a common issue or am I doing something wrong? I love the game art though!

Yup, I had a similar issue! Alt+R made my mouse go into a spinning state, and then nothing happened...

Very nice idea with writing commands in computer and solving puzzles. But:

"Would you like to learn about OS basics? Or you are already know how to use it?" (answer yes/no). This question constructed a bit bad, because two questions ask two different things. Usually user answers last question. But, as I understood you meant otherwise.
"open cmd by pressing alt+r" doesn't open cmd, it opens command line (or how it is called) and here you must write cmd. Took me a while to understand what I need to do.
Mouse labyrinth puzzle game - you can already place mouse on the end tile and win immediately with this

Thank you for your honest review.

We’re already aware of the bugs that need to be fixed before the final version of the game is complete.
