Wow, super awesome game and unique, Love that you made a whole computer with all these functions, simple but extremely well executed. I know you made it in a limited time but its hard not to imagine what a full game with interesting graphics (retaining the retro style of course) would make it really nice :) well done
Another very unique game! I enjoyed trying to find all of the different viruses. The computer system is very detailed and well-implemented! You can even download files from the game to your computer, which is cool. At first, I missed that the bulletin was highlighted so I was unsure what was blocking me from exiting certain programs. I realized what it was after reading the bulletin. I played on the Web build and the only issue I had was that escape to exit a program can be annoying since it closes full-screen mode. Great work, a very neat game.
So I think it's just my laptop, but there's a bug when I pressed the `/~ key during both the Mini game glitches (Not spoiling them) Nothing happened...
No problem! Appreciate the feedback. Try holding the ~ key or pressing it multiple times and see if that works. It may be that longer or multiple input is required because I messed up how the event listeners are functioning. If that isn't working, let me know which one it is and I'll jump in and investigate. I've definitely completed the game on the DL and web version, so hopefully not a big bug!
Apon trying that nothing happened, again it's probably because I use a laptop where ` and ~ share a key, I did find out I could use the touch keyboard to activate it, but when I discovered the clown it soft locked me, even when I did the touch keyboard it didn't work.
Thank you for helping out! I'll take a look into this one :)
This was a FASCINATING concept. Wonderfully unsettling sound design, incredibly creepy atmosphere and I had a blast trying to find all of the viruses. I couldn't find them all, but it felt really satisfying to find the ones I could. Loved it!
Thank you so much! If you're inclined to find the rest, I've posted some hints on my website on where to find the remainder, and plan to make some minor fixes to signal them better. Appreciate it!
This is such a cool concept! I can't believe you managed to create a whole bunch of computer functions, I went into the drawing application thinking: "They didn't! Only a fool would play god!" and I was shocked to see it worked XD, I love this so much! Although I am a bit unsure as what to do, how to remove viruses and such.
Thanks for playing and the nice comments! The game page and text files, particularly one of the bulletins, outlines you basically press the tilde (~) key once a virus starts when it reaches the point that it freezes the computer. You can monitor how many viruses there are and whether they're active or taken out using the ICEBREAKER application. How you find the viruses is kind of the point of the game, but I posted some hints on my website on how to find them all and finish the game.
Hey, the developer here: I'd be particularly keen on any feedback you have on bugs or issues you might come across to make the game as consistent as possible for everyone - if you do come across something, please let me know which version you played, the browser if relevant, and details about what happened. Thanks a bunch!
