The idea is great! However it's quite difficult. I'm not sure if the difficulty is scaling over time, but if so maybe make it so that it scales slower?
Well done, this is very infuriating, which I'm sure is what you were going for.
Great concept to build upon!
Maybe with more diverse and challenging mini games, not only connecting some inputs and outputs but maybe math and logical tasks with their right anwers - since calculating is what a computer basically does. New tasks could appear when you solved one, instead of the shrinking wires.
The overall difficulty also was a bit too heavy for me :*)
The pop-up errors and cooling task were nice, to distract from the "main" tasks. And the PC even has water-cooling ;D
I didn't really understand the user ping for a score, since it's not a good thing to have higher ping probably? If it was a score, why wasn't it shown in the game over screen?
I couldn't get past the first screen.
Great concept, but I feel like it got chaotic a little too quickly, and it wasn't clear that the wires would shrink, especially since they would get covered up by popups
I also thought it was a level-based game at first since there were like 2 start menus, so i just assumed the second one was the first level
Oh man the pop-ups haha. Took me a while to realise that the ping was my score haha. I got up to like 300+ before I overheated x__x Overall I like the idea and concept! Would have been nice if there was some music or sound for it!
My computer blue screened :(
... tis a joke
Wish the popups were a little less frequent when you started to help get and handle on things, fun game otherwise
Pop-ups are the worst!
Those popups are very frustrating lol, but cool concept.
Difficult but there's a lot of cool concepts you could definitely expand upon
Weirdly I was the one who started overheating (a bit too hectic for me). :-D
Also: please don't pour water on your computer. :-D
Now i understand how my computer feels after an all nighter... and it's somehow very fun. Frustrating, but fun.
Nice idea. my highest ping was 1050.
I liked the idea of becoming a computer, however the difficulty curve restricted gameplay. I could get a maximum ping of 170. But it's a great concept.
