Nice game! I really love the visuals and the music! Really fun to play. Good luck!
Thank you!!
great graphics and video, really enjoyed it!
Very nice game. Reading all of those emails to pick where is the clown is quite engaging. But the biggest downside is that there are a lot of reading, and that may be not appropriate to everyone
Fortunately your computer explodes if you have too much to read through.
Thanks for the feedback!
I liked the visuals very much, but I think you could have done a better job explaining the rules: what action does the player need to take in what situation. Maybe I just missed it, but it wasn't always clear.
Also, I think it would make the game more fun if there were some kind of mini-games attached to each of the actions, similar to password mini-game. So you had to do more than just select the correct action.
Great job! Good luck to your team in future projects!
Really cool stuff - definitely felt the overwhelming feeling maybe a little too fast (?)
Very solid game though, nice job!
The game was very fun! I appreciated also the music and the ability to reduce sounds.
I encountered a bug related to a Ransomware email, there was no action that could solve the issue!
Everything else was good!
Made me feel for the IT teams I've worked with.
This is fantastic! I really enjoyed it. It embodies the theme well while also being a lot of fun. I found myself slipping into that "just one more run" mentality while playing, which is huge. Great job!
Side note: I did run into the same ransomware issue that Ghubear mentioned. It's possible I'm just missing something with that mechanic? Not sure
this was so much fun to play! i love the aesthetics and vibe of the whole game, i didn't know that answering emails could actually be fun.
a brief aside, i noticed that one of the emails requesting the ransomware removal file appears to be bugged. it was definitely not a clown email and i tried a few other options to resolve it, but nothing seemed to work ): i played a few times and found that i just have to leave it unresolved.
otherwise, great work!!
Yeah, one of the mails does not go away after you complete its task. I faced a similar bug during development and thought that it was fixed, but this one slipped through to the end.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I really enjoyed your entry as well!
Wasn't sure about that very first request.. seemed suspicious.
Nice game! On my first play through I became overwhelmed pretty quickly. I'll play again.
Second Playthrough went better, but I got hit by some Bozo requesting full access.
Then IRL someone asked me to reset a password and my mind exploded.
