(this is not the big project I've been talking about, don't worry!)

Awesome video, I don’t speak a word Portuguese but it looks dope. Thanks for checking it out!

Oh, that sucks! That's the issue when relying on external websites when building a game, sometimes a site disappears and just like that - the game is broken. I'll have to keep that in mind when making games in the future.
Too bad you weren't able to play it as intended!

Yeah, you're correct. It's pretty uneven. I wanted to end on something big, but took it a bit too far. I got to admit though, I think it's so cool that you spent over an hour playing my weird ass game.

The bug with the application button is only in the windows version, and I've got it on my to-do list. I missed it, since I have mostly been struggling with getting the html5 version to work. 
I do however have some issues updating the game. For some reason, the neko mini game breaks when I fix the bug lol. It's weird. I'll try to to get it fixed next week. 

And I agree about the final grid. I hated myself when I put it in there, but you are actually the first one to mention it.

Thanks for playing it and taking the time to comment!

yeah, it’s hard, you gotta be a real smartass to beat it! I could never. 

Oh, that’s interesting! Never seen that before. Thanks for letting me know about it, I’ll make sure to fix it in the next update. 

It’s live!

There's just something so intriguing with the internet forums from the 90's.  You can really get lost in those things.

I wish! The game was created in just five days for a GameJam. The forum is actually real! Freaky!

hey, the last update broke the game and I’ve uploaded an old version for now. It fixed the issue with Neko, even though I have no idea how it broke in the first place lol. I’ll have to take a look at the pigpen cipher, that’s news to me. 

Thanks for playing and letting me know about the issues! And sorry about my weird name 🤡

oh crap, thanks for letting me know. Something must have happened in the last update. I’ll jump right on it

I’m happy that you’re happy! I’ve created a walkthrough that you can use if you got stuck somewhere: https://pettermalmehed.se/palmcracker_walkthrough

thanks for playing!

Hey, I just released a HTML5 build of Palm Cracker, a detective game that takes place on an old PalmPilot system! If you're a fan of old, strange computers, riddles and ciphers, this will be right up your alley. 

Play it here and let me know what you think! https://deklaration.itch.io/palm-cracker

i love the crabs so much, i want to cry

I just love everything about this

I love games based on old devices. The N64, Gameboy and I've created one myself back in 2018 for the Macintosh 128k.  But, I still haven't seen a game based on the old PalmPilot system! 

it's so cool

I just released Palm CRACKER today, and it's totally free! Explore the old PalmPilot, crack the codes and solve the riddles to discover the identity of the infamous Crypt Killer!

Check it out, and let me know what you think! And also if you have another idea for a title, I'm not sure about the current one lol

Great idea about the single pinned post! I've updated the game and did just that. Thanks for the help on getting this game running again!

this is perfect!!

Well, look at that. I guess that's it. If the Reddit page has been shut down, I don't think the game is able to work. I can see if I've got the original files somewhere, but I built it in a now obsolete engine. Thanks for letting me know. 

Weird thing with the binary code as well, got the same error. Guess the game is breaking down, piece by piece. What do you think, should I remake the whole thing and find some other way to do the Reddit stuff?

Sounds like fun! Write to me on Instagram, I'm called Deklaration there as well. 

i just call it a computer simulation game. This was the first one I made, check out my later games if you’re interested in the genre!

haha, yeah.  the calculator is a mess! this game is five years old and i think the bugs are there to stay. 

Would it be possible to get a .tff file instead of this png? 

Sorry for the late reply! This is such a great and thought out comment that I had to save it and put it in my "to do-list". Thank you for it, and for playing!!

I have this bad habit of making my games too difficult. Thanks for playing and for the insightful comment!

Thank you for your constructive comment! It’s great to get insight from other game developers. I’ll update the game with fixes as soon as Mark lets us. Thanks for playing! 

You need to get the brush from the painter, and paint the butterflies. Then you can pick up the painting and show it to the old man 

It is a hand mirror :( 

Thanks for checking it put!

Oh, that's a neat idea!

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I’ve found the issue and will update the game with the fix as soon as Mark Brown allows us to 

he need something that makes people happy! 

Spoiler: ((it’s art))

Oh tell me more about the plant bug! That’s a new one.  Do you remember how it happened?

to be fair, you would lose if you accidentally press the power button as well

Thanks! Yeah, there’s a bug with the tree. If you pick it up, you lose whatever you’re carrying. Took 5 seconds to fix, but too late to upload a new version!

Yeah, that was the final part I designed! Wished I had more of that stuff. Thanks for checking it out!

So cool, thanks!!

Yeah, the theme got a bit lost in the process. Had an idea of a reversed elevator action, where the elevators move but you stay on the same level. But I had to tweak it to make the game better. Lost a little bit of the theme, but I think it was worth it. 
Thank you for playing, and for complementing the graphics! Means a lot!

Yeah, I agree. That’s the most fun one! Should have made more where the rooms are connected!

it moves, but with like a “flip”. A smooth rotation would be cool!

Thank you! Yeah, i butchered the music a bit because i wanted it to be dynamic. Really cook that you beat it, well done!
