Hey, great game! I loved the idea and how you managed the "playing with two characters at the same time" mechanic, congrats!

Submitted

I enjoyed this game! I really like the visuals, and I think the theme is very creative overall! I think if you expand on this it might be good to add a little bit of a tutorial since it seems hard to figure out what to do at first. Good job on the game!

Submitted

This was a very fun game! I love the theme, and the little bits of 'plot' were a fun touch. Having to constantly switch back and forth between Jack and virus to use the limited number of blocks to both create a route for the virus and hold back the antivirus robots makes you feel clever.

LET'S HACK SOME PCS BOYS!!!! X)

Damn. At first, I was a little confused as how the game was working but when I got the hang of it, I felt great! There's a lot of satisfaction when you move an icon and you switch screen to see that it's on the right spot!

Great work guys! :D

Really cool take on the theme! Took me a bit to figure out what I needed  to do but once I got it it was fun. Nice job!

Submitted

This is a really clever idea, and very original.  I didn't know what to do at first, but as soon as I realized the regular icons affected the hacking view I started having fun playing.  Nice work.

Submitted

Cool take on the theme; I really liked the conceit of the desktop icons being the platforms.

Submitted

Once I figured out what I was doing I had a great time! Really nice concept! 

Submitted

Awesome Game, i didn't quite get what i should do But it was fun after i got it, like the music and an interesting take on the theme =D

Submitted

I had some trouble understanding what I had to do at first, but once I realized I had fun! Great work!

Submitted

Super cool concept and super fun game, I really enjoyed playing it! Great job!

Submitted

Actually pretty fun! I wish I could switch perspectives using a hotkey instead of clicking on a button. The instructions said play in fullscreen, but I had issues with the levels clipping off the left and right hand sides. Switching the music between perspectives was a really nice touch. Cheers!

Submitted

Fun game and good concept, I beat all the levels, its was easy to block the enemies XD, hope you make more levels after the jam

Good game overall!  I like managing the multiple perspectives.  I will say I found the enemies to be a bit more annoying than challenging.  Honestly, I would say just one or two enemies per level if you even need them at all.

I take note of the enemies for better level design and future versions. For the Jam they were coded very simple and with the purpose to annoy the player XD Thanks you for Playing!

Pretty cool idea, but must adjust the way the "anti-virus" works, because whenever I have a need to see "virus' view", they approach me and doesn't matter if I go back to "pc view", they're at the same place when I go back to virus, making me having to die in order to understand the level and only completing it on the  2nd or 3rd try

Developer(+1)

It's the charm of the game; die, learn and repeat until you achieve it :D  Remember the things on each side to solve the level. Thank you for playing!

Submitted

I mean, thinking about it now, thats kinda how hacking works right? You get a lot of attempts failed before getting some exploit to work xD I take back what I said

Submitted(+1)

This is a cool idea, it would be great to be able to switch views with the keyboard though, I kept dying trying to grab my mouse fast enough :D

Developer

Sure When I play it in the last hours I thought the same, but I didn't want to risk the stable version hahha Maybe for the full game ;)
Thanks for playing :D

When I know how to play the game, I feel that the game is very interesting. The last level is a bit of a test of reaction ability

Developer

Its a game to master XD. Yeah that last level was done with no sleep so.... thanks for playing!!

Submitted(+2)

I had some problems learning to play, but I found it really fun and the idea was very different!

Developer

I know, I forgot to put the instructions XD. Thanks for playing. Fun was the objective ;)

Took me a bit to figure out how to play because I was too dumb to read the controls (that's my bad, honestly). It almost seemed like a game I'd expect to find on Newgrounds all because of how it felt. It's pretty fun after I'd figured out the controls and what to do, and I really enjoyed the game.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing. I'm glad you enjoyed it :D yeah, the controls are something to learn and get used to.

it didn't work on the browser for me. I'm on macOS
