Very cool game with really cute animations and great dialogue. Like the little messages the character says in response to the texts on the walls. I found 8 of the trophies, but have no idea how to get to the room below the level, that’s blocked by the boxes. Dunno what i’m missing. But i enjoyed figuring out how to break the game :P. Great job.

Did your team create the assets yourselves?
How did you incorporate the theme and lore?
Hackerman uses the Break The System theme to inspire it's hacker theme, the point of the game is to also exploit "bugs" to find hidden secrets

ha ha there are some really hidden platforms you can drop down from. I definitely could have made the secrets a bit more obvious. But i assume you missed the one where the platform is right next to the door you open on the third stage. There's also one on the main menu, but you have to drop down from the very end scene in order to get that one
Hey! Sorry I don't have time to do a full written out review, but I did play your game on stream which can be found here(Check the description for timestamps to all the games if you want to just see yours):
A very simple but sweet game I especially enjoy the art style! Green is usually a dislike of mine but here you made it very appealing with the pixel art and the outline on the character whose animations were very clean. I also appreciated the idea of keeping glitches in the game in order to grab the trophies and outplay the maps. The simple idea that I can jump again when I touch a wall is definitely something a game dev would fix in a normal game but it flips around here. I would have enjoyed some kind of music or sounds from the gun shooting to add atmosphere but otherwise great job!
This was one of my favorit games so far!
Loved the ability to revolt against the system, that sense of defiance is inherent in our psychology.
The hints left by Hackerman, through his internal dialogue was also well constructed, and led me on the track of exploration.
The minimalistic graphics worked perfectly for this game (the little flying bugs were especially nice).
Loved the concept and 4th wall breaking like everyone else. Nice retro feel to it and liked the music as well
Good Game! I liked the 4th wall breaking and the choice to comply or break the system.
