Interesting idea and nice art, but I could only play it singleplayer. It was quite difficult to understand how to play the game; I feel like there is too much complexity. I would change it to a singleplayer game, where in your pc's get hacked and you need to fix them. Removing the multiplayer, hacking of opponent pc's, orange pc's, mixed up instructions that need to be discovered through testing, etc.
Hello, and firstly thank you for your comment! We know that finding a person to play is complicated for some. However, to fully appreciate our game, it is important to take into account that it is played with two people. In addition we think that a single player mode would be less interesting, and although complicated to understand the game at first, we think it is worth the effort ;)
It was really fun, once I got the hang of it :) I jumped right into it instead of looking at the controls, but I figured out the game fairly quickly and got down into hacking my opponent.
Great art, great music and sound design, and fun gameplay! It's a game that's hard to get into but SUPER fun once you get there. Kinda like Super Smash Bros for me, it took a long time to get any good at it but it's super fun now. Good work!! :)
Thank you! I'm glad you like the game :D
Hey everyone! We are currently making a tutorial for the game, but until then here are the rules and goals :
- Do not sink your company
- Hacked PCs (in red) make you lose money
- If no PC is hacked (in blue), the company earns money
- The winner is the one who has the most money at the end of the count or the one who survived
- Interacting with a PC allows you to switch to Terminal mode
- Each PC has its commands noted on the notepad
- Each command allows a specific action to repair or hack
- We can hack the PC of the opposing company
- Hacking an opponent's PC gives him the status 'Hacked' and 'Corrupted'
- Corruption (in yellow) reverses the actions corresponding to two of the pc commands
- To repair or hack a PC, you must perform a series of actions in the order indicated on the post-it notes
- To correct the corruption, check the correspondence of commands and actions in the Test tab
- Attention, your incompetent colleagues can periodically give the statuses 'Hacked' and 'Corrupted' to a nearby PC
- Use the 'shout' button to make them flee
Thanks for playing :)
Could only play solo, but the game looks and feels great! I'm not sure if I ran into some bugs with incorrect instructions for certain computers, or if I just misunderstood something.
When a computer is hacked, two of its commands are inverted and you need to test them to get them back to normal
We will soon implement a tutorial, I hope this will simplify the understanding of the game ^^'
Impressive job creating all that amazing pixel art within 48 hours. Sadly I don't have anyone rn to help me rate jam games. I also loved the "freak out" button, not sure if it does something else gameplay wise, lol. Cheers!
Thanks! Actually the "freak out" button scares off the other employes who can periodically bug PCs in your company
Good job on the amazing pixel art style, loved it! My brother and I enjoyed it.
Thank you ! :D
Really great game, great graphics, great mechanics, great everything! Incredible impressive for something thats made in 48 hours!
Thank you!
Fun two-player game! Even just singleplayer that'd be a fun game to play and an excellent take on DDR. I'm guessing the post-it notes being wrong sometimes was towards the theme?
Thanks! About the post-it, you need to update the commands using the 'test' tab of the terminal when the commands seem wrong
Everything is more explained in the description of the itch page, but we are going to make an upgrade with a tutorial
