Also did you pick the name REDTUBE because of its real life counterpart or is it a just a fiction thing?
Anyway; I had a lot of fun, until great-pipe.com where I couldn't find how to manage to reach it. I'm stuck man ! Where can I buy the full solution book ? :p
Really cool game, and the VPN character made me laugh haha
EDIT: shit I just played the bug version ?! So i'm now stuck on the same page: greatone.com haha Nice game man !
But the realization is really impressive and I will try again later when votes will be available !
Great job!
Played the fixed osx version and got stuck at key breaker part. Just like @yami-no-tenshi-8, one window got stuck on to left corner and also blocked me from accessing the readme file again. Still managed to reach it with some stair building and got the key breaker "opened" but either can't figure out what to do next or ran into another bug.
And I'm pretty sure I already know what I need to do once I get access to that wall paper site @dunin mentioned.
Anyway, it's more than different enough to stand on it's own!
A nice little adventure, with a twist.
I had some problems though, even in the bug-fixed version (the other one wouldn't show me the way to gmail). Like the time I was able to close the explorer-window while Mr.VPN was still in it. (I tried to reproduce it, but the second time it *did* prevent me from closing the window...)
*Edited To Add:* Oh, just a small tip: Please don't name your zip or executable (only) after the jam. Quite a lot of people do that, and some of us like to download a few games first and then play them... Please use the actual name of the game or even your own!

The graphics are neat, although a purist might complain that pixel sprites need to be scaled manually in order keep them looking good (spoiler: I didn't do it either). There is one glitch for me that shows the parts of the windows that are outside the "screen".
The sound effects are appropriate, but music would have been nice.
The game has a lot of nice touches, with the realtime clock, "activate windows message" and pop up windows.
I would love to complete the game, but even the bugfixed version has me stuck on the breaker room, where the server in undergoing maintenance. I think the main problem with puzzle games is that they have to be absolutely bug-free. Once the player hits a snag, they will tend to think it's another bug instead of just a puzzle they can't solve and that ruins all the fun in solving the puzzles.
In case this isn't a bug, maybe someone can give me a hint how to solve the breaker puzzle. It must have something to do with changing the server time. I tried attaching www.thenight.com as I thought this may change the server time to night, but nothing happened. I even changed my system time so that the game time would be between 8 and 10 am, but it didn't work either.
Overall I love the idea and execution of your game and I would easily rate it higher if you could iron out some more bugs (or I find out how to solve that damn breaker puzzle).
Very cool concept.
I think you just did everything right for a Compo game. 10/10
Maybe some music can be cool, and more affordance for the gameplay comprehension.
逐步突破GFW道道防线的游戏体验兼具黑客的神秘感和诙谐的趣味性，虽然由于compo版不够稳定，我反复尝试了很多遍，但依然让我兴趣盎然。
玩的过程中，本以为黑客的Platformer玩法会带来更有趣的平台类挑战或者解谜要素，但似乎并没有，如果可以和游戏的破解挑战做更好的结合，我想会进一步增强Platformer在这个游戏中的价值，同时削弱目前它与核心游戏体验之间的疏离感。
Edit: Figured it out, but it's pretty difficult to do so, since people may not pay attention to the task bar. But saying that is at least a hint for people to figure out. Overall I think more puzzles introducing the mechanics in the game, otherwise people won't be aware of what pieces they have to solve the puzzle.
回国前没用过VPN，结果果然就在这届72小时遇到了itch.io上传问题。在最后一刻赶紧百度了下查到个免费VPN才算是上传成功。。。唉，希望什么时候中国的网络环境能变好吧~
