Great idea but for me this is unplayable fast - my coordination can not handle the hand-move to 1,2,3 AND then moving the head with the same hand AND deciding left or right click. that’s just too much.

The head should follow mouse movement, so the right hand becomes the “data locator” (position and read or write decision) and the left hand is on 1,2,3 to select the datatype.

I really liked the idea, but i couldn not play it unfortunately, i never had even a single color on the hdd.

Really interesting idea! But I was TERRIbad at it! Just awful xD I like the concept and the controls, while a little fiddly work well. I think some audio feedback like "dead hard drive ticking" on an incorrect read/write would add a lot to the game!

Hi there! Like the unconventional interpretation of the theme! It took a few attempts to figure out the mechanic, but it is really fun and unique; I was missing a little bit of player feedback through viusual clues or audio in general, I think that could have been some well invested time! This submission is definitely in the top 5 so far :)

An cool idea and an original twist on the theme! I would suggest to add some pattern to the blocks, as colorblindness gave me some problems while trying to play, but I like the concept.
