You get lot's of cool points... about there are some things that annoyed me...\r\rGood points:\r - I liked how you get to learn what the game is about by playing it\r - Woow! It's a game that simulates a terminal!\r - As far as I could tell, you generate a random password each time! Nice!\r\rNot so good points (or things I'm going to nitpick since it's a "terminal simulator"):\r - 'dir' as a command? Seriously? As a Linux user, that was horrible. (jk)\r - The lack of auto-complete really annoyed me...\r - You read files by running them, instead of having the pass the file as an argument to 'cat' or another "program"\r - No numpad support (who types on the "normal" number?)\r - No auto-scroll nor limit for the screen's height\r\rStill, those are thing that mostly annoyed me because I'm too used with using bash. People who don't use Linux (or terminals, in general) shouldn't care about that.\r\rAnyways, I really liked this. :)"},{"author_name":"sararyCow","author_uid":"50072","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 11:00pm","epoch":1429829700,"text":"I love the concept and the gameplay progression; I failed a few times, which made me smile later when I had the clue.
