I'm genuinely impressed that they were able to fit a program capable of altering the Earth's trajectory inside a floppy disk.
This was a pretty tricky puzzle. At first, I thought I was supposed to overdrive the lamp somehow because I didn't think to use the computer as a defroster. Eventually, I got to the point where I put the box on the computer, but I got stuck again because I thought that 50 C was enough to defrost the box, so I was trying to move the box around to the "right spot," unaware that it was my lack of heat that was the problem. Thankfully the hints and solutions were there, because I don't think I would have finished the game without them.
This was a really cool experience, with a fun little puzzle that was just difficult enough to get me thinking! I thoroughly enjoyed this, great work
Great atmosphere and feel (even if I wonder why there's a desk in the middle of nowhere and there's no like remnants of a facility... but that's just something I thought about *after* playing it so good enough :P)
The little puzzle stumped me for about 5 minutes as my first instinct was to open as many windows as possible, maximize them and drag them around. Thankfully once that didn't work and I began playing with the second floppy (which I didn't realize was there until I went 'huh missing something here') the solution was easier. It did throw me a little curveball in that the heat didn't seem to be enough at first in a fun sort of way, it was fun to figure out how to squeeze more heat out
Fairly polished too, experienced 0 jank playing and everything was intuitive
I was definitely going for "mysterious computer in the middle of nowhere" and it had nothing to do with not having any clue how to model an actual building, yup, that's it...
Sounds like you puzzled the puzzle out in a nontrivial but short amount of time though, so I'll call that a win!
ooh this was really cool! Took a little puzzling and I love that you included hints directly in-game!
This was really good! Such a good take on the theme as well. I am liking all these games that used the computer desktop to fulfill the wildcard.
Adding hints and spoilers into the folders is a brilliant idea! I sure needed it but it really helps out and let's players appreciate the whole game if they get stuck. I think this really helps the accessibility in the game and a lot of entries ignore that aspect.
I really liked the game! Getting the box to defrost was a bit of a challenge, I wouldn't have thought about putting the 3d rendering view in fullscreen xD
I enjoyed the game, thank you for making it :D
I tried to hint at it by including the render resolution in the corner, but it is fairly unintuitive. Maybe it'd have helped if I'd have gotten around to making the size of the window changeable by dragging the borders? Glad you enjoyed it anyway though!
Very cool! I liked the concept, mechanics were really smooth, and the computer controls were nice. I couldn't get the box to defrost though :(
On another note, we used the same desk model haha.
FWIW, there's a file with hints on the floppy you start with, just in case someone gets stuck (and another file nested one folder deeper which gives you solutions outright in case you get really stuck). Having tried to make a puzzle for a game before, I've learned that there's no such thing as too explicit a hint, as long as you don't give it to the player until they ask.
Glad you liked it anyway, though!
Very unique, enjoyed every second!
Glad you liked it!
This was stellar! The biggest "complaint" is that there isn't more. Super appreciate the hints, I finished it but I wasn't sure I "won" so it was nice to validate that.
I've started over on this on thursday (before that I was playing around with an ice ball), so while the plan was to make the start and the end and then hopefully fill out some puzzles in the middle I barely had the time to polish what I did have. Happy you enjoyed what's there regardless!
