I was exactly as frustrated as you probably wanted me to be lol
Frustrated in a frustrating way or fun way?
Edit: Just wondering, if it was frustrating in a way it felt annoying, why was that so I can bring it more into the fun range?
I would say both!
My original concept for this jam was actually really similar to this, but I ended up going with something simpler due to time. So it was awesome to see this entry, and I thought in concept all the bits and pieces you had were great.
Functionally, as you know the puzzles were a bit tough (as you ended up putting answers in your description). I actually think some small tweaks could help a lot. For example:
So as unintuitive as it sounds for a concept literally about terrible UI and tech loops, a little bit of UI improvement would be great lol. Honestly I would love to come try again to get further if you do an update! This really was so fun. Hope the notes help!
The awkward spacing issue with the text was an unfortunate issue of the font I was using. I agree with the email enter being awkward with the space but, that was more a relic of my laziness. The textbox was too small and I didn't want to change the background so I procrastinated fixing that. I was having a hard time balancing the hold so that it wasn't too long people give up, but was also getting across the point of being on hold is annoying. I agree the number buttons could've been closer. I was using the godot pulgin dialogue manager which, although being great, I didn't code it meaning I had limited control over the way it worked. I do want it to be a bit more cohesive and eliminate unneeded tabs too because that would also make the twist of you have minutes until you have to restart not as easily miss able.
interesting, I haven’t used Godot! It’s always a balancing act in jams trying to decide what matters to fix or what you have energy to fix lol. Hope to see an update on this one though, good luck with any future work on it :)
Perfect
I'm glad it didn't disappoint
I do like the concept but don't really have the patience for captchas. It definitely evoked feelings within me, so it's art
>:) The thought was to make it an exaggeration of the difficulty of tedious tasks. I'm glad it evoked feelings because that means I succeeded (yay!).
For not being a virus, the virus was really annoying! I couldn't get passed the captcha though, I tried to type everything but couldn't make it out. Great job on the windows and scammer virus look!
Did you capitalize the i? there is no spaces in Istubedmytoe also.
I got passed it! And... am stuck on the email part then, sorry I can't seem to beat it!
If you got the Email wrong it's wrong, if the password is wrong... it isn't. make of that what you will.
I love the xp background
Thanks! I don't like making art for games but I don't know anybody that can do art for me. It's glad to see the work pay off though!
I really got a kick out of that privacy policy. Punctuation would've done wonders though.
I'm not sure if I'd have gotten it was looping if I hadn't read the "How does your game fit the theme?" It's not clearly communicated in the game that you're trying to run a game. Having an icon on the homescreen called "Game.exe" and then going through the hoops to get it to run would probably more clearly communicate it. Great game!
Ah, that would've been smart. I wish I communicated the idea of what you were signing in for better. This was originally an idea I had where it was more of a surprise but now that it's supposed to be for a theme that would've been better to communicate that.

Please give feedback so I can improve the game!
