Cool concept i think it would be pretty fun if you expanded on the idea, great job!

Submitted

Funny idea, would actually be a really enjoyable point-and-click game with more time to cook!

Submitted

Congrats on finishing your entry! Well done :)

Obviously a very ambitious idea for 48 hours, but you got your point across. I even beat hardcore mode without dying once! 

Again, in 48 hours you can only do so much, but it would have been nice to see the idea explored a little more or just a little more content. The idea has a lot of potential, especially if you're working with more than two machines. It could offer some pretty wild puzzles. 

Great job on your submission. Keep making games and learning!

This game is really short but it demonstrates the concept well. It has the potential to become really interesting as a complete game. Also, I really liked the dynamic lights!

I enjoyed it! The only thing I would change is the art but all in all, Well Done!

ha! It's interesting to see such a concept come up. I have at some point in the past imagined what it would look like if you merged game objects from different games (hello, wreck-it ralph!), and you surely started that journey yourself here. Have you thought of handling the "moving stuff around" mechanic a bit differently? E.g. actually being a "game-agnostic" character and jumping from game to game through the wire, taking stuff around with you? I think that could give it a lot of personality and feel

Like some other comments here, I have to add myself to the "I would love to see more of this" list!

Hmm... I feel like I'm missing something. How are you supposed to fix the games?

read the instructions when the game boots up.

Pretty short, but the concept is really good and clever. Took me awhile to figure out the ball for pong! I also love how the pong actually worked afterwards too. Feels like a game that needs a few more levels, but the idea is amazing.

What a cool concept.

I would love to see you expand on this and add more arcade games like pac-man.

Excellent graphics too.

amazing game!

This was a cool idea! I hope you add more to this game post-jam to add even more arcade games and different things to combine!

Submitted(+1)

Very clever idea! The hint in pong "get the bird to the other side" XDDDD that helped would be fun to see with more games and even some elements where you have to make a game playable and the finish trophy you need for another game

First I didn't knew what to do but then I had an eureka moment when I figured out how to beat the game. It was really satisfying. Clever game idea.

Submitted(+1)

I don't like to admit it, but it took me longer than I should've to figure out I could store specific things. Still, very creative and very fun to play even if it's rather short!

Pretty cool concept. I can see myself playing a full game like this.

Submitted(+1)

Great concept! I wish there was more to play. The UI could use some polish but the mechanics are definitely interesting and fun.

Submitted(+1)

This game has lots of potential with a really unique game idea. This gameplay was kind of short, but I definitely see lots of room for expansion.

I really like the idea! i could see a full 1-2h long point and click with that concept be really fun!

But as it stands it's little more than an idea, about 30s once you've figured out how to use the hard drive with no environments.
Having to code every game in the game probably makes it an ill-suited concept for a game jam.

Really nice idea, I didn’t expect to be literally taking pieces of games and reusing them elsewhere. Outside of minor visual bugs with the font this was a pretty cool experience!

Submitted(+1)

I liked using flappy bird as spare parts

Been a while since ive played a nice point and click, lots of room to expand on this if y'all wanted to :)
