Short but very fun. I love the style as well, very fitting. An interesting iteration would be to explore the OS more and more each time (taking different paths to do so), and combine the knowledge I've gathered from my many playthroughs to finally beat it.

Game was extremely fun and incredibly well polished (despite the war flashbacks it gave me to actual life security measures and automatic updates)
Had a lot of fun with it, however due to how intentionally short the game is, it could probably have benefitted from more "security minigames" that you may experience at random in subsequent playthroughs so you aren't always doing the same puzzles every time. Having variations on the same games was great, but more variety would have me playing this multiple times.
Note: Game lagged a lot when I attempted to play in browser version (chrome) however that may be down to my pc. (I also thought that this might have been intentional at first due to the older pc aesthetic which made the whole thig accidentally quite entertaining)
The art is fantastic and I am always in awe of people who fit multiple small games into their gmae jam submission, given how hard it is just to finish one sometimes. Great stuff!
That was probably the best game of the jam I have played so far. I really enjoyed it.
If you have a chance, please rate my game. https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/463297
Really cool idea! Loved that it was more than one minigame so that you couldn't know what to expect and put on more pressure on the player (kind of reminded me of Wario Ware games with that feeling of having to go through a minigame without playing it before and under a time limit). Also really funny and presentation was great. Congrats!
I can't say anything bad about this game. Everything well done. It's sad that it's only one minute long tho because I would like to play more :D
We also wanted to go with "only one minute" but we couldn't come up with a cool game idea. Anyway, I think our game turned out well. I would be pleased if you give our game a try ;)
I really like the atmosphere of the game, and the sound effects are perfect.
Clever and genuinely funny!
It reminded me of the "User Inyerface" game that came out recently (https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2019/7/3/20681538/user-inyerface-terrible-modern-web-design-app-forms-fields).
Not sure if this represents a new trend of games, but I think it's interesting that folks are designing games that examine our relationship with clunky software.
