I wouldn't be surprised if this one wins on creativity
This was so good. Very high quality, almost feels like a full game. The puzzles were overall pretty fun and the visuals were so good. Only slightly annoying thing was the level resetting when I put a window too close to the player. Other than that, I'd love to play more of this!
Thank you! Yeah, we got a lot of feedback regarding the window and it's just too bad we didn't think to tweak that before releasing the game.
Omg, the overall style is AMAZING! Having a 3D character on 2D desktop is such a good descition. Also the difficulty was perfect, the subtle hint thing was *chefs kiss*. Only issue I had was it felt a bit frustrating when the level reset as soon as you misplace the window a bit too close to the player. Wouldn't mind if there were like 3 more levels but overall amazing entry.
Thanks so much, appreciate the feedback! I think ideally we would have refined the conditions for a game over a bit, and added more levels to explore the concept a bit more, maybe in the future someday!
My brain still hurts. Incredibly creative!
Very super duper
Good and clever with a nice amount of polish.
Cute art and a great concept. The virtual desktop was very well executed! Good job!
What a lovley game!
Really liked it and a very very unique idea!
Very Cool Idea. The Retro art looks so cool especially the main character! Clicking the scaling buttons seemed to be bugged sometimes. Otherwise very cool execution!
What a great idea, I'd love to see the concept expanded.
I was particularly impressed by having to create platforms by playing with the text auto wrapping.
I was a bit annoyed that dragging panels near the player would sometimes reset it, I assume that was to cover up all sorts of potential glitches.
Great Job.
Yes you'd be correct in that assumption haha thank you for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it!
This game is adorable and amazing, and it has a unique idea behind it.
This is a really cool idea! I like the dedication to emulating the old PC graphics, and the detail of how the text auto-wraps in one level. My only criticism is that it's a little too easy to accidentally squish the player with a misplaced window.
really liked the idea! loved this old school style of pc and also nice puzzle
