Use of the limitation
(SPOILERS AHEAD!!! I RECCOMEND PLAYING BEFORE READING THIS) You start the game thinking you're an employee named Larry, but if you beat the game, you realize that you were actually the hacker the whole time.

Cookies eaten
2, but they were mostly during breaks between development becuase I didn't want to get crumbs on my keyboard.

Very meta o: 

I really liked this game! The hints were easy enough to figure out when you got the hang of it and it made me feel smart without being frustrating, which in my books is always a sign of smart design (it did take me a few tries due to the time restriction though). Good job!

Really nice experience! I did not make it to the end but it's very polish and kind of nervewracking with the 5 minutes timer

I always love fake operating systems in games. Great execution but I don't think having a 5 minute timer works because I imagine it's very hard to do first try (it took me three) and when you reset it's just reinputting passwords that you already know. Maybe a 15 minute timer instead to keep up the pressure throughout the whole game?

Really cool concept for a game. I always love those old-school computer system games. I didn´t quite manage to figure out the characters birthday but I enjoyed the experience nonetheless.
