HTTP: The Game by SaFrMo
Welcome to life, little HTTP server! Take on the role of one of the integral players in the Internet and field requests from (fake) users around the (fake) world. Learn a little more about the way the Internet itself runs - but handle your requests carefully, as you're dealing with very sensitive data...

For some reason, it reminds me of Papers, Please! Where the requests start to get complex overtime. If you have the initiative to continue, you can actually do go in that direction. Like, one more rule is added each time.
The only thing this needs to be really good for me is sound, and probably hotkeys to manage a lot more tasks if you do continue this.
Adding sounds to this is really great if you're listening to the requests coming in by a ton and gives you more stress. As I can't look if the request is good or not since I have to keep processing requests or not.
A very good entry! I recommend others try it out, too.
There is a little bit too much click for me though, i would love it with drag and drop for the requests !
However I still have a few remarks : firstly for a game like this an ambience music would be really nice, SFX for feedbacl too (like a validation -tut- and a failure -bip-). Secondly, and this one is quite personal, although there is a challenge the game gets pretty dull after a point, especially since I usually don't like "micro-management" in games and this one is all about it ^^. I guess that's intentional though, which is bound to divide the audience, some people like it, some people won't.
To sum up it's really well made, but not really to my taste and that's fine :).
So, in conclusion, cool game ! Keep coding ;)
It was surprisingly fun, and as hard as I guessed when I read the concept. I made some mistakes, I'm affraid I would be a very bad HTML server, but well done, good idea and good game. :)
Awsome concept, the ui is perfect, some background music and it's perfect :smile:
Would you like to see how I fared? :P

The Vue debugger icon in my browser has lit up, so I assume it's built on that? I've played with it for a bit and it's so good.
