You are an agent, working for a top secret government security agency. You are tasked with using unconventional mind control weaponry to take control of the mind of an innocent civilian, then make them perform a planned inside terrorist attack with the equipment they have collected, in order to strike fear into the public and make the country's actions in war seem justified.

Ensure to keep the target civilian alive as long as is needed, while maintaining full control over them, and not arousing any suspicion. Post your scores below, if you succeed!

Thank you for playing!

The file doesn't seem to be shared - seems like it's private.

Cool! Would've been even better with some sound. Five overall from me!

I could run it on OSX. I like how you put to gether something so quicky, also probably on of the smallest filesizes. Sadly it was not all very clear what I had to the. I beat the typing thing (hack), but after that I did not know what to do, and died.

Interesting little game... died the first time around as I didn't notice that I had to control the breathing :P Played it again and got a score of 661.

Strange and 'addictive' for ten minutes but the point of the game is not very clear.

Interesting game. Lost some health at first before noticing I had to breathe manually.
The yellow bar on the white background was quite hard to see.

Thank you all very much for the feedback! Apologies for lack of tutorials and explanations, unsure about the error, however.

Pretty fun. Had a hard time just getting through the original hack, but after that it was easy.

For the lack of visuals, this was a very interesting game. You also get bonus points for making me imagine a guy walking 8 steps then taking a breath over and over again. Super inconspicuous like.

Good concept. Some graphics showing what's happening would be nice. Mind control part felt rather tedious after hacking.

Actually a pretty good ending imo. Simple mechanic and fairly simple gameplay. Looks nice overall

Apparently the secret to mind control is RSI! It was interesting to try and balance the various factors (once I realised what was happening - I nearly died from forgetting to breathe at the start!).
