Very innovative, I can see how it could be easy if you arranged the files by file order, but I had fun regardless! There was a small part of me that wanted to rerad through each text file but I was too nervous about the timer, made me want to keep playing. Loved the Piant family photos, nice touch.
Thanks for playing! You can read the files at your own pace just by copying-pasting them into your desktop. (also please do I put a lot more time into that than I'd like to admit)
Very original take. Good job!
Thank you!
This is an awesome idea! I love games where you need to interact with the OS / files / console. This game was one of the best (even if doesn't look so professional, I don't mind programmer art). The humor was good too because the viruses have very funny names. Some other extensions will make the game harder and prevent the explorer sorting cheat.
Thank you for playing! I don't really consider it a cheat, just another way of playing, and if you prefer playing like that, then I have no reason to stop you.
In a future update I'll add more types, I just run out of ideas and time, and I wanted to submit and go to sleep, so it might be a little rushed out. Thanks for your feedback!
Yeah... I can see in the second screenshot the *Date Modified* time is 1:45 AM ;D
would have loved to play, but bitdefender antivirus threw your game in quarantine 10 seconds after opening... from what i got to play for a little bit, pretty fun!
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Sadly, I don't think there's much I can do for that. Maybe you could turn off your antivirus while playing, or add my game to a white list, but all those options are weird, and you shouldn't have to do anything just to play a game.
I really like what you were trying to do here! Sort by type does make it easier, but you could use different extensions on files to make it more random (.bmp, .jpg, .png for images, .txt, .doc, .rtf, for text, and other extensions) this intermixes the files a bit more, even with sort by type.
True, I hadn't thought of that. I'll add it to the next update, along with some more easter eggs!
by the way, did anyone find the ones I already hid? They're not that hard to find, you just need to know that they exist...
Sort files by type makes this a bit easier but really interesting idea of a game
The game is intended to be played by sorting them through name (I actually tried to randomize it like that), but you can play it however you want. Take that as an easy mode, and a hard mode would be... hiding the extensions of the files!
I already knew you could break the game in multiple ways. But if you're having fun, then I'm okay with it!
Hiding file extension doesn't really change anything as images are marked with photo icon, textfiles with notepad++ icon and viruses with the white file :p but I get your point
Really neat idea! Excellent use of theme. I almost missed the point of the game entirely, thought something was broke, but after some extra reading outside the in-game instructions, I figured it out.
Yea, I really should have done a better job at explaining the game, you know, inside the actual game. Really glad you liked it!
