Cool game, great concept. Was fun to figure out the puzzle. I definitely got a little confused more than a couple of times. Love the graphics (especially the notebook stuff for instructions), and sounds are great too. Played as part of the GitHub Game Off live stream:https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1712660556
Congrats on top ranked too :)

Very nice puzzle game. I suck at these kinds of games, but I still enjoyed it!

The graphics are very fitting and clean, I particularly appreciated the hand-drawn pencil style of the menus. I can see there's lots of puzzle variety aswell, and lots of scope to add more levels. The actual gameplay is very polished too. I can see you spent a lot of time getting the puzzle just right and adding features like the debug console kind of screen.

For improvments, I'd mainly suggest sound design. In particular, I'd say the main game music, while slammin', does not fit the aesthetic of the game. Also, it would be nice if your choice of game speed saved between levels (stops you having to change it to your preferred setting at the start of every game)

Overall, very strong entry. Good job!

Ah i see you're a man of culture as well

You don't know how much i laughed when i saw this ahahaah

Ok Back to the Jam! It is great game, very good on the cliche' side !  It stimulates your mind!

Very interesting game, I finished all 6 levels but can't find how to access the extra ones. Anyway, I played it for much more time than I thought! It's entertaining and engaging. I would have made the "manual" accessible from in-game, like the console, with page markers for faster access. The music fits really well for me, reminds me a bit of Hacknet. Congrats on your game, very polished!

Congrats on finishing your game!

These sort of programming games don't quite land for me and I can't figure out why. I love the problem solving aspects, but a lot of the times I don't feel like there's the right amount of information. The handbook/rules thing here was way too much information upfront, but it seemed essential for figuring out how to even play the game. And not being able to page back through it was frustrating, especially when unlocking more pages. I wanted to trial and error thing, but the '?' blocks kept throwing me. Do those rules change every time? It felt like this game was asking the player to re-solve for the same problem every puzzle, instead of letting me build on previous knowledge to feel like I'm learning or progressing. 

The music in the menus was great, but the actual gameplay music was way too distracting. 

The art and presentation were nice though. The sketchbook vibe was a nice touch. The monochromatic display portions were  a little hard to figure out... I can't tell if I was missing important information or not. 

I feel like I'm being too harsh. This sort of puzzly game is really ambitious for a jam, and you clearly have a ton of content. Perhaps testing, refining, and making the learning curve easier to get into would have helped me stick with it more than the first two blocks. 

Keep making games!

Had a lot of fun with this one. Its a great brain training try to predict the output from the nodes. Didnt quite understand how some branching nodes work. Great job!

Very fun puzzle game! Feels polished, and the gameplay got me hooked from the first time I got that 'Ah, I see!' moment! GG.

I enjoyed your puzzle game a lot. I spent more time on it than I thought I would.  Great art style and great music. Amazing work!

Great puzzle game! Nice artstyle. I had a lot of fun playing

Hi!

I really liked the game (at least the part I played -I'll continue as soon as I have time), it has great looks, a very fitting soundtrack and simple but effective game mechanics.

I'm not entirely sure I follow the cliche` you refer to -I only know a couple of movies that show hacking, and typically they just show random code and a loading bar- but it may just be outside of my sphere of experience.

In any case, it's a great entry!

Great game with cool gfx and intuitive control.

The graphics fit the game perfectly

Игра действительно выглядит как игра. Вы проделали очень хорошую работу, чтобы ваши игроки ломали головы.

Very good and solid entry, it feels like a full game instead of a jam game! I'd say that this is the best game I've played this jam (and I've played mine 😜), it has almost no negative aspects and it feels incredibly polished! Great job!!

The graphics are very well worked out, you really feel like some kind of hacker with your notebook and your green terminal hahaha! 🤣

The puzzles are a little bit confusing at first, until you start catching de ciphers and then it just clicks with you. It's like entering "the zone" where you start understanding everything and it just works! I also like that the words that you have to guess are real words, that helped me in some puzzles where I got stuck hehe 😛.

I have to agree with @Cosmo about the interactive tutorial. It's better to show how the game works in an interactive way instead of making the player read the mechanics. A new player like me can feel a little overwhelmed at first.

I have no more negative points to say about the game, you made an excellent work that can really work as a full game if you add more levels and release it! I'd definitely buy it if you released it! 😁

I'll try to complete it when I have more time hehe 🤗.

Excellent entry, keep up the good work!
