Of the 4 games with a timer, this one was the best balanced. I had incentive to get the batteries for more time, but never so much pressure I felt I couldn't explore. Combat was solid. The shuffle puzzle hack was good, though I couldn't solve it in time. The wave form hack I couldn't get working. That might need some debugging.

So, i played three games at once and rate them at once, this is essentialyl the last game i played. All im saying is, this is a fun shooter, but i would want to hack more.
It's a good game, but the hacking doesn't work for me. The hack menu is stuck on screen and there's no way to dismiss it. It feels like I'm better off just shooting everything normally without doing any hacking for that matter. Still enjoyed it for what it is, it just needed polish on that part.
Fun little shooter, I like the idea of the time being both your health and time limit! My only real gripe is the difficulty of combat is too easy: you always have ample space to simply shoot while running away from enemies, thus fights tend to play out similarly. Took me a while to realize hacking the punching robots restored time! I love the music and art of this game!
A simple game. The hacking minigames seem a bit buggy, but that may be due to the browser, especially when it comes to sliders as I found out with my own game after I set it up.
