Very hard but i like it a lot!

Submitted

i suck at typing but i still really enjoyed this one. Good job guys 👍

Submitted

The game idea was very very interesting. It was difficult to play it but very fun and interesting. The game style is simple but gives that feeling of being the machine and its really good. 

Submitted

clever and fun

I had too much fun with this, the music really makes me feel like a certified HACKERMAN.

Once I got to the score commands I had forgotten the syntax though, it'd be nice to have quick access to the command syntax. maybe there is and I missed it. I can definitely see some lore building up slowly through commands alone, I was picturing some of these players hunting together, perhaps even some pvp going on

Submitted

I am command line

Submitted

That's a nice take!

Submitted

I really liked this. Well done!

Submitted

fun concept, was interesting being in the setting of a terminal and a game at the same time. Well done!

I always wanted to be a server.

Becoming a server is the dream for most (all?) CS students. I was living the dream for 104 ms.

Fun concept, but had a hard time keeping up since I'm not familiar with the command screen and inputting commands. I think if there was a key to the bottom corner of all the different commands instead of typing it in it would help with being able to play longer.

Developer

The point of the game is that it eventually gets very frantic and difficult to keep up even for a fast typist. Having buttons to automatically insert the commands kind of goes against that goal

i dont think they meant something to type for you, just a little reminder display so you dont forget the commands! games like Receiver 2 have complex inputs and display all the actions in the corner, or something like the rulebook that you can leave open in Papers Please mightve been helpful

Submitted

Thanks Doeball! That's exactly what I meant haha

nice job, very well made.  The sound effects bring it together

Submitted

Interesting concept. Well made.

Submitted

Very Cool

This is great! I just wish if you pressed the up arrow it would get the previous command. But maybe I'm just bad.

Developer

ngl i tried that while playing sometimes lol, keyboard shortcuts wouldve definitely helped!

I haven't seen much games like this, so that gets creativity, i understand that this style of game doesn't have much to present but it was still somewhat clean! It did get a bit overwhelming but i enjoyed it overall.

A very fun game, unique style, and frantic gameplay. It really tests how fast you can type

Submitted(+1)

Got a little overwhelmed after about 8 commands, cool game though! Guess both of us were programming inspired ;)

Submitted(+1)

Really fun take on an old style of game, and it looks very pretty!
