Ranked from 13 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How did you incorporate the theme and lore?
We used the lore as giving the player a glove that acts like a physical version of a mouse cursor. And we use the theme in our games story [sorry if the game seems bad, we focused more on the story than the gameplay as its a prequel to another game we did.]

Thank You. It Means A Lot

A bit more interactivity would have been nice like being able to open the wrong files or something that could cause you to fail. Overall good story thought and fits the theme/lore great

Thanks. Yes, i understand what you mean. Like i said in some other comments, We were planning on adding the ability to surf the files, but couldn't due to time. We are planning on updating the game post jam, so maybe keep ur eye on this game. Thanks for the review.

This is one of the games so far that I would rank high in Theme/Lore for the jam as everything is involved in it. At first, a glove as the weapon was odd to me but it grew on me especially the final battle as you literally punched the guy. The file navigation system was also interesting although I would have liked to see some easter eggs if you tried opening up other folders was disappointed that I could not open others. The audio that did come through in the beginning was very clean enjoyed that intro music. Lastly, the art style was definitely a unique take there is something uncanny about it that fits the diabolical nature I got. Overall wonderful job!

Thank You. This Comment Means Alot. We Are Planning On Making Making A Story That Spans Across Multiple Games, Thats Why We Spent Some Time On The Story, And Why Most People Like It. And Nice Spotting. The Boss Battle Would Technically Be Pointless If It Happened In Real Life, Because Punching A Literal Computer Virus With A Glove Would Not Work, Thats Why You Still Lose In The End. And With The Folder Easter Eggs, Yes, We Were Planning On Doing That, But Couldn't Due To Lack Of Time. Maybe An Update Will Help? And The Art Style, Well.... IDK How I Made It. Lots Of People Like It, To My Surprise. I Thought It Was Bad Because Of It Being Stickmen.

It's one of those internet AND gamer things where people see something horrible and absolutely love it XD

Thanks

Would've loved to see more combat interspersed between the story. As is, the game is mostly an exposition dump. Love that you're telling a story between jams though!

Hi. Just Saw Your Reaction. Thank You. I Understand Some Of Your Complaints And I Will Explain The Reasons Here. I Understand What You Mean By There Being A Lot Of Exposition. Like I Said, And I Know I Shouldn't Be Doing This In A Jam, I Want To Tell A Connected Story. And The Audio, I'm Sorry. We had a bug in the code that stopped the audio from playing. And What You Mean By The Combat, We Ran Out Of Time. Would Have Loved For The Player To Be Able To Go In Different Folders And Fight Different Enemies. And Thanks For Reacting To It On Stream. It Means A Lot... [Also there was a button that allowed u to full screen. In the bottom right corner.]

first thing I did was click the full screen button but it didn’t work x.x

That's Weird. Must have been a glitch. How ironic

Random Ideation StudiosSubmitted3 years ago(+1)

Well done but The boss fight was very hard bcoz you have to control the mouse, arrow keys and space bar

Hi!Thanks for the feedback.I also think boss fight was hard.Is that good or bad in your opinion?

DiamondDev45Developer3 years ago

Hello. The Other Developer Here. Thanks for Your Feedback, We Appreciate It. And I Understand What You Mean. I Was Trying To Base The Bossfight Controls Off Of The Controls Used Earlier. I Will Take Your Feedback In Consideration When We Update The Game Post Jam.

like how it feels like a computer and the boss is pretty fun just wish i could visit all the folders

Hello. Thank You. We Are Planning On Updating The Game After The Jam, Like Trying To Fix A Bug That Stops The Music Playing After The First Cutscene. That Was Something We Wanted To Do, But Had To Not Do Due To Time. Sorry. Maybe U Can Check Out The Game After The Jam, We Might Just Update It :D

Robin Toller HovlerSubmitted3 years ago(+1)

Nice concept! Feels like you have something going on here, being a virus jumping through folders, wreaking havoc. Since you hinted towards the other game - I played through that as well, but I didn't feel it was necessary to understand the story in this one. ^^ The paint-like art was at first a bit weird but it fit really well and made some scenes really fun! Good job. :)

Thank You. Yes, I Know What You Mean By You Didn't Need To Know The Story Of This Game, Even If There Is Some Stuff Thats From The Other Game That Gets Explained Here [like the fact that the counter attacks in the other game are glitch]. I Just Wanted People To Know That This Game Is Apart Of A Connected Story. The Three Characters [Virus, Glitch And Mr Hacker] Will All Be Together Again. These Two Games Are Just Setting Up The Characters. [And The Glove Might Make A Return, Maybe?] And Thanks For The Compliment Of The Art. I Didn't Know If People Would Like It. There Were Meant To Be More Scenes Near The End Of The Game That Would Have More Images, But We Had To Cut Them Because Of Time. Thanks For Your Comment, This Is MY First Gamejam, So It Means A Lot :D

Great Use of Theme, the gameplay was sorta fun, but i think an option to skip cutscenes might be good to implement

Submitted

DiamondDev45Developer3 years ago (1 edit)

Thanks. Yeah i know that the gameplay wasn't the best. And we were going to add in an ability to skip cutscene's, but we ran out of time. We were to busy working on the story. If you like the characters, i would play the continuation to this. The link to it is on the games itch.io page.
