Shellshock by madlee

[raw]
made by madlee for LD31 (COMPO)
What I was going for is a semi-retro themed 'hacker' puzzle game. I didn't get as far into level design as I'd hoped, but I got enough of the mechanics in that I think the idea comes across. The game is quite short, but I'm happy with look/feel of it and will probably continue to work on it. Hope you enjoy!

Very interesting idea. I don't think people who are not programmers or system administrators can understand this game, but personally I enjoy it.

This is a neat idea, though the theme isn't extremely prevalent. I see what you mean about it being short, but it looks like there is a solid framework there, everything is smooth and shiny and makes sense!

I LOVE this aesthetic. I'm a bit hungover to figure out any puzzles so I'll come back in a little bit and report back on gameplay, but for now I just want screenshots from this as my wallpaper.

Really cool idea. I'd never have thought to make system administration into a puzzle game

This is very nicely done! Even if terminal users might have an advantage I really think this visual representation of commands is super innovative and easy to understand. Super fun concept, one of my favorites, it would have been great to see more levels!

I really like this! It's clean, responsive, and beautiful. And thank you for not making me type in the commands manually. Very well designed interface.

Wow, really love this. The UI is spectacular, but I wished the text was larger.
It took me a while to get the last one: "The arguments must connect!" didn't make much sense to me at first.
Overall a great puzzle. I'd like to see this expand further!

Very well executed! It's very polished. I can see this transformed into a game to help people learn the command line or how to navigate a server in a pretty basic way. Nice job!

Hi there. Like the presentation and idea... partly Hollywood hacker, partly unixbox toy, fun! Some of the constraints (items must be adjacent) were a bit annoying, would prefer commands to be available independent of directory, maybe you earn a path variable later ... apologies if that's already in there somewhere. Good job!

Interesting puzzle game, really like the idea, and the fact that it's a shell script game you only control with the mouse, paradoxically :D
