Very innovative, I can see how it could be easy if you arranged the files by file order, but I had fun regardless! There was a small part of me that wanted to rerad through each text file but I was too nervous about the timer, made me want to keep playing. Loved the Piant family photos, nice touch.

This is an awesome idea! I love games where you need to interact with the OS / files / console. This game was one of the best (even if doesn't look so professional, I don't mind programmer art). The humor was good too because the viruses have very funny names. Some other extensions will make the game harder and prevent the explorer sorting cheat.

MoneyDudeThank you for playing! I don't really consider it a cheat, just another way of playing, and if you prefer playing like that, then I have no reason to stop you.
In a future update I'll add more types, I just run out of ideas and time, and I wanted to submit and go to sleep, so it might be a little rushed out. Thanks for your feedback!
I really like what you were trying to do here! Sort by type does make it easier, but you could use different extensions on files to make it more random (.bmp, .jpg, .png for images, .txt, .doc, .rtf, for text, and other extensions) this intermixes the files a bit more, even with sort by type.

Moon Logic EmporiumSort files by type makes this a bit easier but really interesting idea of a game

Postal office operatorThe game is intended to be played by sorting them through name (I actually tried to randomize it like that), but you can play it however you want. Take that as an easy mode, and a hard mode would be... hiding the extensions of the files!
I already knew you could break the game in multiple ways. But if you're having fun, then I'm okay with it!
Really neat idea! Excellent use of theme. I almost missed the point of the game entirely, thought something was broke, but after some extra reading outside the in-game instructions, I figured it out.
