Hacker's itch.io pageJudge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- Judge review (sorry if I do a poor job of explaining my opinion): Gameplay: 2 Originality: 2 Fun: 1 (it’s literally rock paper scissors with a computer) ASCII Art: 0 Optional Themes: 0 Timeframe: 0 The game is simply rock paper scissors with a coat of paint on it, and it does a terrible job of explaining that. There is no sort of tutorial telling you the objective of the game and what you’re supposed to be doing. On my first two playthroughs, I thought I was the database when it turns out I am the hacker. The game does fine with visuals (it is a text-based game after all), but it doesn’t do anything creative with them as it could. Another thing is that once you typed in the command you wanted, it’d just send it through. You couldn’t wait and press enter when you wanted to send it. It’d just send. This isn’t a big deal since the game is entirely random, but it is still an annoying feature.

Hi, Sk1tzFr3n1k. As the jam host, I've released a survey that I want everyone doing this jam to complete. It basically asks a few questions about your game and how you enjoyed your jam. https://forms.gle/q8uFczU4mu4ANUXRA. It helps the judges understand your game better so the judging process can become easier. Much appreciated.
Please note that I have sent this survey on Discord and through Email as well, so if you have already completed it please ignore this. Thanks and have a good day :)
Will do.
Thank you for submitting!
Welcome.
This feels like rock-paper-scissors.
An inventive take on an old favourite, but I would have preferred something requiring a bit more strategy. Perhaps a visualization would help? And, of course, an algorithm which does not feel quite so... random?

Agreed. It's my first. It needs improvement. Fixing that soon.
