Stuck on 4 flags. Played 4 times. Love it. I agree with some of the other feedback about having sound or visual effects when a tool is used correctly - it'd make it feel that much more rewarding to have figured something out.
Play game
hacker-forest's itch.io pageTheme
The game is centered around connecting pieces of information in order to solve puzzles and collect all the "flags", as well as centered around connecting to distinct webpages for your puzzles and hints/clues.
It was also built in React as a functionaing website.

Daymn! This is either very hard, or i'm dumb as hell. Either way this is awesome. I found 1 flag.
Music is awesome. The concept is brilliant. Great job!

Planet DefenseHi, thought the game was great :) Visuals were really nice. I found 4 flags in 2 tries.
Some small things I personally would like for the game are:
- No time limit, I would like to try and complete the game but I found it a bit frustrating to go back and do the bits I've already done when trying to figure out new things.
- Initially I found it overwhelming, there is a lot of text in the beginning and it's hard to read it all/understand what to do quickly. I had the same thing on the binary page. I think it would be nice to start with just one page, or one page + the life hacks page with a simple puzzle before opening up the other pages.
- Different mouse feedback for clicking with screwdriver or zap: maybe a sound effect + visual effect. Sometimes I wasn't sure which ones I was using/ tried using before on that page.
All in all though thought it was great :)

Bouncy Wouncy SpiderThese are all really good suggestions thank you so much! I'll definitely remember them if/when I ever make a game similar to this. I was worried it might be a bit overwhelming but wasn't sure how to address that issue. So thank you so much! And I did want to add sound effects and such but ran out of time so definitely a note for the future. Add sound effects!
Thanks again for the feedback I really really appreciate it! These are all really good points.
Whoa, that's awesome! I'm no good at puzzles and mind games, but I still loved playing it and discovering everything!

My Sister's Unusual PetThis was fantastic! I played through like 4 times trying to find that 6th flag but you've stumped me. I suspect I know what is supposed to be the clue but can't figure out how to "connect" it ;) see what I did there?

ReuKnightedIt seems that we had similar interpretations of the theme :p
Very well done, the interface is beautiful.
