awesome concept but the ending is a bit sketchy and confusing. awesome job on making the game for two jams

Developer

Yeah, I understand, thank you for playing!

Finished it, very well done :D Such a cool concept, Cyberpunk 2077 has strong competition now! I really like the feel and idea behind this game, huge respect for creating this by Yourself!

Developer

Very kind! Thank you so much!

Nice little game and puzzles. Interesting story which makes it more appealing and the twist at the end. The collision with the bullets needs a little bit more tweaking and polishing, but overall I enjoyed every single puzzle.

Developer

Thank you so much! Yeah I'm sorry about the bullet collisions!

Really fleshed out concept, and neat style! You hooked me up with that plot twist!;)

Developer

Haha! I'm very glad!!

Great everything!  I love it I could easily play it again! the levels are so well done.

Developer

Thank you so much!

Great puzzle / mechanic introduction and progression to keep things interesting, and a good level count. Definitely great execution on the gameboy aesthetic ( even down to hitting z for accept :) ). Twist ending was the icing on top.

Amazing, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I like the simple game and slowly adding new mechanics every other level. Good job!

Developer

Thank you!

Is a neat concept, I found this additional key odd, key should be use to unlock things but I can get the key to unlock a lock, but it unlock a lock far away. What I try to say is that the sprite for the additional key can be replace with something else otherwise is kinda counter intuitive in a way. But overall well done, you made something and finished. 

Developer

Yeah I guess you're right, the key was only a representation of the opening obstacle. Thank you for playing!

Love the graphics ! Like it's straight up taken from a gameboy game !

The mechanics were clear enough to pick up almost instantly and the soundtrack is simple but for whatever reason it just works.

A short but nonetheless enjoyable game, great job !

Developer

Thank you so much!

Interesting art style and concept of levels.  Ending was unexpected :o

Developer

Haha, I'm glad you didn't see it coming!

Amazing concept! Amazing art! Gameplay was really smooth too! I really appreciate the presentation work that's gone into this. The overall design is just beautiful to look at. The music was also nice to listen to and didn't ever feel like it ruined the immersion. The ending was also bittersweet but I knew it was coming from the moment I trusted the stranger. The level design could be improved but due to the time limations, I feel you made some pretty great puzzles. I definitely would like to see a sequel where we infiltrate other computers to find the dude's location. That would be a really cool sequel, using other computers to find his location coordinates. Maybe each computer has a hidden coordinate located in the files. And maybe the computers that you use could have viruses. This means you would have to avoid viruses. I also like the idea of an AI trying to complete the puzzle before you, it's a race against time or the computer shuts down because the AI Security Bug is trying to prevent you from completing the puzzles to reach the files that need to be protected at all costs. There's definitely a lot of potential for a sequel and I can see you taking this in many different exciting directions! Great work to the whole team behind this project! Thank you for making this game! :)

Some really cool ideas here! I will definitely think about them, I'm making another game in this style, and I prototyped this as a minigame, but now I'm starting to think that it could be the core! Thank you for playing and thank you for your amazing feedback!!

Submitted(+1)

You are truly most welcome! I look forward to your future projects! We've also submitted our game to the Game Jam. We have more plans in the near future to add more content, ect. I just thought I'd let you know about our game too. Anyway,  I really can't wait for your new future projects! :)

The gameboy graphics and music are very nice, and fit the mood of the game.

The gameplay itself is also very enjoyable - the levels have some good progressing challenges, and the design of the puzzles explain themselves by first showing, then challenging. 

And oh, what a plot twist at the end! A fun little entry, congratulations!

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Great game really loved it! i really enjoyed it the music, level design, concept and puzzels are all awesome.

The only thing is that you should make a revenge version of this game to kill that man that kill me at the end XD

Keep it up!

Developer

Hahaha, I do love that idea, I'll see what I can do haha . . .

Pretty good soundtrack,  nice and easy to pick up

Developer

Thank you! I'm so glad!

Submitted(+1)

I laughed so much, the ending the bug it was pretty good, I only wish that hacking was as easy as this in real life, or I don't. Anyway a really nice game turrets telegraphing their attack would be nice and some more levels is all I can ask for here.

Developer

Amazing, thank you for playing!

Hey! You again :) I loved the game, incredible pixels too. The cool thing about puzzles like this is that they have a lot of space to add extra new cool mechanics to them. Well done.

Developer

Haha, hello! Thank you for your feedback!

Submitted(+1)

I love the soundtrack! Art is great, puzzles not really complicated(and I don't think they should've be), but they do their job really well. And the plot twist... yeah, I wish I could kill him on the second playthrough :)

Developer

Haha, that's a good idea! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

Really loved the look and feel of this game! The little bug sprite was really amazing (also the twist ending was good)

Developer

Thank you so much!
