A complex game — it's packed with elements and it’s easy to get lost (though that didn’t happen to me). It's not entirely intuitive in some places (knowing the HELP command is definitely useful), but overall I managed to figure out what to do. I really enjoyed playing it. There's clearly a lot of potential for further development (additional minigames, etc.), which you’ve also mentioned in the credits.
Congratulations, and I’m glad I had the chance to play your game!
The ending really surprised me! I really like how you incorporated real computer parts into the game, it really fits the theme. The music was really solid too. Pretty cool game! It would be interesting to see where it goes from here
Really cool idea, I learnt a lot about computers too lol. I think the game can be a little confusing in where to go and what to do, but that lead to exploration and I LOVED the map. Great experience I recommend everyone plays
Great job making the computer into its own little world! I liked the graphics and it had very unique sounds. Great submission.
Fantastic concept and gameplay! This is not just a game, but an educational tool haha, i learnt a lot about whats inside my computer :D great job!
I loved that game. It's rare to have such chilling music in games were you have limited time but I appreciated it, it helped me not panicking ! It's a super concept, I would love to see more !
I really enjoyed how faithful it is to the real-life design of a circuit board and its components. There's a lot of potential here! The consistent visual style across all elements gives it a very polished feel. My only suggestion would be to allow players to skip or speed up the intro text, as it felt a bit slow. Great work!
So, the first time I had a lot of troubles. I didn't realize these grey squares were traversable:

As a result of this I failed the tutorial by not visiting half the required areas. Then I failed half the actual tasks by not knowing how to get to them. So when it came time to check on the CPU it exploded!
I did realize my error during that failed run, so I tried again! I went to all the places, completed the tutorial, fulfilled every task, went to check on the CPU... and it still exploded! 🙃
Anyway, I love the beep-beep-beep-boop voice.
Hi thanks for the feedback this was just a taste basically, most of the systems will be replaced and a lot more detail to the maps and a ton of other devices switches, printers etc. CPU will always explode you are working on a failing pc. For the full game it's a much different ending and the task system is replaced with a Job/Rank system. But thank you very much for the feedback. beep-boop-beep
Loved the 'inside the computer' concept! The piano music is very relaxing! Great job tying the whole computer concept up! very informative!
Well done. Great submission. Meeting strange nano npcs sounds exciting. :P Well done.
Interesting game, would be a useful tool to teach my kids more about a computer
Simply WOW!
Nearly flawless alone when im interracting to the module (in or out), I had controll on the bit, so I can move and the text was a BIT fast to me.
But all the other aspects are perfect. Good Job!
Check my game and rate if you have time.
Have FUN :3
a wonderful entry. I loved the contrast between the technical world and the very humane music. and your take on the theme was spot on - really smart world design.
the timer was quite brutal sometimes, so I am wondering if failing some tasks led to the bad ending for me?
i understand the timer is crucial for there to be a challenge, but maybe think about and try some variations if you want to keep expanding the game? like, maybe there's a general timer and it is about how many tasks you can accomplish, or a rating system for each job, so it's not failure after failure. but I still enjoyed my playthrough - thank you for the good times.
Thank you very much for the fantastic feedback! Really appreciate you taking the time to play and leave feedback it means a lot. I've been in the IT industry for a good while, so this project was a fun way to turn that experience into something playful and a little educational. This jam version was just a small taste, I’ve got a lot more planned! Most of the systems will be reworked and a whole lot of other features I plan to implement I’ve also been working on some art for a few other devices 👀 I’m also planning to shift things toward a jobs and rank system—where the higher your rank the more complex and interesting jobs you get.
Learning about computer guts has never been so fun! Very cool idea and execution. Really impressive game overall, I dig it. Thanks for sharing!
This was great, loved the visuals! I do feel like the music choice could have been better, started off with a very discordant and ominous piano track, felt like something that better sets the mood of being a lil robot in a computer would have been better. Great work though! Bip beep bop boop beep
i appreciate you sharing your thoughts, thanks for the feedback! I wished to try something a little different- like taking something technical like piano and using it in harmony with the inner workings of a device. I didn’t want electronic on electronic and really wanted to make the theme of tiny world shine through by recording that one instrument live. The first song pretty much drones on one happy sounding major chord, excluding some unsettling undertones happening in the later half of the song. I wanted to hint at something inevitably going wrong, like no matter how many tasks you complete successfully, the corruption of the device still happens at the end without fail. I also hoper for it to be simplistic so it could also be an immersive experience with focus on the task and educational material in the game. Glad you enjoyed the gameplay, I did too:)!!!
It's fun, like we're robots, especially at the beginning of the game.
