The Lost Bit by Dyn
This is a story about lost Bit inside the big server.
Server is too big and too old so system operator cleans it and will shut it down soon.
Bit should find the way to unlock admins console and leave his home server.
Genre: Adventure
Controls: WASD+Mouse
Action: Space or LMB
Console: ~
What's about theme?
First of all you can find that the game doesn't have HUD and uses minimalistic approach - console.
Second - music. We feel that it bring deep emotions in simple melody.
And last but not least - Story
It's about the little particle of information in the vast space of the data. It's not even a file. Its just one bit.
Action can be:
- Jump. No need to explain
- Dash. Fast forward move
- Link. Lock on a special rotating cube and fly to it.
Task:
1. Find cube with the password
2. Return to the start.
3. Type password in the console.
Inspired by spirit of Portal.
Linux, OSX - untested.

I was particularly fond of the scrolling text slowly creating the colour codes, too. It's a little thing but I appreciated it.
and you fall through everything to the bottom and die.
very nice atmosphere to the game.
I was like Mario who died of grief found no princess. The first 5 minutes, I just liked to jump and die. Very cool last breath animation. Through the game you got in that Minimalism thing. Very moody. NJ
Thanks for your feedback guys!
You right. Messages seems to tangled.
Dash actually changed to another skill - Link. And you should look around and find spining cube like this one:

(at center of the screen).
Lock it on center (it will start rotate faster) and press space or lbm.
Also you used console code at a wrong location. You should use it at start of the level.
Fixed. Thanks :)
The concept though is really cool. I wanted to try it some more but I'm not sure if I'll have the time for it.
Really liked the idea of being able to access emails and to see the story through that.
Great work here overall.
I liked the story, though didn't understand it fully, but I really though there'll be about 3 levels... Very moody game.
