Great work! Could definitely see computer sounds being a fun enhancement.
Nothing to say except my surprise that the site is not secure, but that may be part of the concept of the game (as there are free HTTPS certificates, even if complex to implement)
Congratulations and good luck
Last game was difficult until you get the patterns down.
I'd love to see a sequel or another game with similar mechanics.
I know it is probably part of the windows 3 aesthetic, but opening a new window for each folder got a bit overwhelming after a while!
I would suggest for the boss fight to make the weapons easier to spot and the cursor faster to move!
Good job!
This is a great puzzle game, good job.
@litmuszest I am glad you figured out some of the puzzles on your own, it is quite rewarding to finish some of these puzzles! It was a bit unfortunate that we didn't set aside a little more time for level design. All the puzzles were built in the last hours as we were finalizing the game.
@tucan Having to open the folders was very overwhelming once you got pretty far in. I had 50 things open at one point ;) I was hoping the shortcut feature would be more helpful in that regard, but unfortunately it didn't help all that much. Making the weapons more visible was something that we just never got around to. The boss fight was written in the last few hours before the deadline :P
@marcus-otterstrom It was a crazy 72 hours for the 2 of us, @zazz0000 was the leader in terms of planning and strategy. I spent some time making sound fx and starting some music, but was having some issues with my DAW. Next time my audio workstation will be prepped before starting a jam!
@gucio-miszcz Thank you for playing and taking time to comment. I don't think this was my kind of game either, haha, but I grew to love it. Will work on getting some music composed for the post-jam version of the game!
@mololo The puzzles were way too hard, and the difficulty of the puzzles were not consistent or in any sort of logical order. We are thinking up some better puzzles for the post-jam version of the game!
Thank you again to everyone who played our game, we really appreciate it!
This was our first game jam and it taught us a lot!
The biggest take away for me was time management and preparation.
Thank you thank you thank you everyone!
