Wow! #35 place overall! That's so much higher than I was expecting.

Thank you SO much everyone for your fantastic feedback! By far the biggest problem is the extremely steep learning curve. The most obvious fix for that is to not have the dead drop's timer begin to tick down until AFTER the initial hack. A simple addition, that I wish I could have discovered with playtesting beforehand. But considering I started way late and had a little less than 4 days, I'm very happy with the result and thrilled that you all enjoyed it as much as you did!

Ah that had a nice feeling of hacking, quite like the ppl on TV do their hacking. The game was much to hard for me though. First lvl should have been much easier I think. Tried a bunch of times and think I got one hacker but I must say I am not entirely sure. There could have been some visual queues directing attention to the dropper and the car. First fails I totally missed what was cars. And what I was supposed to do when I got the dropper. I did read the instructions, but I think first level could have been a bit more interactively instructive and as a said, a whole lot easier.

Pretty solid game! I included it in part 10 of my Cyberpunk Jam compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/Y-8YP7iQFW4

I really liked the hacker-typer mechanic! Also, this is one of the most relevant games I've seen to the cyberpunkjam's theme.

this is by FAR the best hacking mechanics I've played! I just felt like a hollywood hacker, typing all those commands in just a few seconds! Really great, fun and funny! I'd love a bit more visuals on the non-terminal part though, but nonetheless, it's a great and fun game!

ASFSAOFSFDFG I enjoyed it.

Took me a little while to figure out which hover car I was and as there was little time I assumed I was bashing the keys too slow to actually get anywhere.

If you had a little circle to highlight your hover car until the player moves and a tiny bit more time to start moving about.

Like the colours and the movement of the vehicle is very smooth.

once I understood what to do I really enjoyed it :) gj!

That I had to mash the keyboard at each start was a bit confusing without the tutorial. But once I figured that out the game is quite addictive. The moment when you're trying to get to drops while being chased around through the traffic makes for pretty tense (and hard!) gameplay.

She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts!
