cool cli game
Pretty intuitive UI and gameplay, unfortunately I type slowly haha. Cool concept, was it on purpose for C.L.O.C.K not to respond when the timer gets low? Anyway, good job!
I'm glad you found the UI intuitive! As I mentioned to someone else, I was a bit worried it might feel too much like a ‘game made by a programmer for programmers’.
About C.L.O.C.K. not responding—that actually wasn’t intentional. During testing it happened a couple of times when overlapping calls messed with its reactivity, and I thought I had fixed it. Looks like you managed to find another one!😅
An interesting idea and not a bad implementation, I liked it.
‘Not a bad implementation’—did you peek at the code by any chance? 👀—You’d be right 😅🤣
Glad you liked it!
It might be somewhat text based, using a CLI, but it really draws you in.
Thanks for the game.
I'm really glad the atmosphere felt engaging! Honestly, I was a bit worried players might get lost on the starting screen. Thanks to you for playing!
It certainly hits theme, and I like the faux OS UX/UI, a solid entry.
Thanks a lot! Since I was working solo I went for something simple. It had been a couple of years since I last used Unity, and I was pleasantly surprised by the UI Toolkit—so I took the chance to experiment a bit.
super cool concept and very good interpretation of the theme
Thank you so much!!
This was really riveting! I liked the mechanic of losing time whenever you got an answer wrong. Took me a couple of goes to figure out what exactly I had to type once I got to the access parts but wasn't a huge hiccup
Thanks!! The hardest part was trying to test the different mechanics while putting myself in the player’s shoes. I was worried the bonus time might be too little and the penalties too harsh... For the access part I liked the idea of challenging the player to remember the credentials entered at the start without giving any hints. There are so many other things I would have liked to add—for example, highlighting when time is running low (maybe making the countdown flash), adding more puzzles—but hey, it’s the unpolished jam!
