I really enjoy it!
The sound atmosphere is amazing! Like the nostalgic sounds of the HD being read and the keyboard being pressed.

Congrats!

The sounds are amazing! The crackling, your own voice when doing something wrong or right.

I was stuck on level 7 for a bit, until I figured out I could sacrifice one of the blue dots. The only thing that was mildly frustrating (because it played in my favor in the end) was that on an intersection the virus would make a seemingly random choice to go left or right, and I couldn't really come up with a plan, because the choice of the virus would vary.

But I really enjoyed it and played it all the way through, great entry!

Take One For The Theme

Thanks a lot! Yeah that's a big bug for the blue dot. And yes I realized it was not that good that virus can turn left or right, I should have make their behavoiiur deterministic.

That modem sound! Ouch! Very nice concept, and fun to play. If I were going to play for long, I think I'd want an option to disable the CRT effect... like an old CRT, it started to give me a headache.

Very nice entry!

What a surprise to see the game like that made in only 48 hours, so awesome! The sound design (PC noises and launch sounds, etc.) are so satisfying, not so many games have such a proper audio. The text is quite hard to read, though, which is a bit problem for a text-based game, but overall, the visuals and the idea are cool. I believe you could've make a full-fledged game out of this, keep it up!

Ragtag GamesSubmitted5 years ago

Awesome game, challenging and original. The CRT graphics look great!

It was a smart choice to limit the number of commands you have to remember, so the focus is on solving the puzzle rather than remembering commands. It made the later levels with timing opening / closing doors more enjoyable :)

Finally, I loved the Mr Robot references and the voice-overs - "Okay, I'm in" - so much fun :)

Very interesting concept! It took me awhile to get the hang of it (I tried circle brackets because coder haha), and the typing got tiring, but I played a few levels and it was fun! Like the voice acting. Hope you can check out my game when you're free as well!

Super original idea! The graphics and sfx are really cool - they make me feel like a hacker while I'm playing 😎

The puzzle difficulty increased in a fun way. I think I completed the game (there isn't a success screen, which is a bit confusing - see attached image).

The controls took me a little while to get used to - it wan't immediately obvious what they did.

Overall a great game!

Thanks a lot! Yeah that's an error... but if you want the ending screen is 8_out_of_control.

Cool concept, but for game that is basically about text - the text is sadly pretty hard (and painful :D) to read.

Very pretty - the colors, graphics, and sound design (especially the keyboard clicking!) really felt old-school. It was a fun game that tested my typing and puzzle skills. I'd definitely play more!

reaperScarlSubmitted5 years ago

Really interesting idea and well executed. I gave up at the 7th or 8th level. The projections of the camera were also really cool.

On a side note, i'd argue that the restore noise is a bit too much annoying and some levels are a bit difficult if you are not fast a keyboard writer (but those are really small stuff)

Very well done :D
