Super fun, got to the end! It had kinda a zactronics feel to it, I liked the inclusion of the PDF. Just like TIS-100. Very cool take on the theme!
I would love this game a whole lot more if I was actually smart enough to progress through it. I don't even know what a subnet is xD
I have seen terminal-based hacking games like this though, but I don't think I've ever seen one that uses an external file as a reference sheet. Very VERY cool concept, and creative use of the theme!
Interesting concept, and I like the idea of including a PDF outside the game. A little too big-brained for me though
I enjoyed your game quite a bit.
Some things that could improve the overall experience without taking up additional dev-time (at least in my opinion):
1) Use a more retro font. This all text input is reminding me of old DOS machines and this would catch that aesthetic.
2) The pdf would actually not have been necessary and you could explain it all ingame during the first 3 missions. When reading the pdf it was very confusing to me, but when I used it the first time it was quite intuitive, especially since you show the commands that are allowed.
Overall good job!
Hi! Thanks for playing and giving feedback.
I agree with you. I didn't return to the font after the initial choice, and the PDF could have been implemented more simply in-game. Also, adding commands like 'help add1' would have made the "learning" experience more streamlined.
Thanks again! :)
Huh, very interesting game. Took me a long time to figure it out, but eventually I destablished the superpower or something like that. Nice work!
Thanks for taking the time to figure it out - I know there was work to do on that bit.
Congratulations on de-something-or-other-ing a global super power!
