had to flip my the usb twice for it to actually fit, then got apprehended because of downloading from illegal site. 10/10 fih points. Great game, no cap

If it's made with Godot, shouldn't it be easy to do a web build?

Edit: I read the note on the fog thing... Bummer!

I think this is the first entry that has made me laugh so far. Good job! I look forward to seeing more "unholy" creations in the future.

Thank you!

I have played a lot of the games submitted, and by far, this one made me laugh the most. The opening disclaimer was absolutely hilarious! I really wanna understand what was going through your brain when you made this game.

Thanks for playing! I would like to understand that as well.

That was a super creative way to do an intro for the game!  Would love know the story behind the main character. What kind of other crimes has he committed?

Unholy Serial Bus: an honestly dishonest review, but a review nonetheless.


Introduction

Have you, my dear table fish, ever felt the urge to commit an atrocity most heinous, one that surely will attract the attention of highest alert with the authorities?
Well, I got some news for you, "Unholy Serial Bus" by notapage allows you to experience the thrills of fulfilling such a spicy fantasy, all while comfortably shrimping in front of good old Ubuntu machine in the comfort of your barely livable apartment, unless you happen to be a basement dweller in your mother's abode, who is awake at four o' clock in the morning to review the most underrated masterpiece from the darkest corners of the Game Dev TV Jam submission page. 
Now, let's get to it, shall we?

The Gameplay Experience

First of all, the game brilliantly captures the daily ordeal of having to plug in a USB drive the correct way, without breaking the very fabric of spacetime that keeps the universe from unraveling, dooming every single living entity into the eternal abyss of interdimensional limbo. 

The Game Design

We live in a society, where even the smallest act of rebellion against the tyrannical engine that grinds our bones into dust, shakes the very foundation of what makes us, us. It is what separate us from witless apes who, if given enough time, will eventually have pressed enough random sequences of keys on a computer to generate literally any video game possible without human input. No coding monkey, nor Artificial Idiocy, would even dare come up with such a mind bending concept.

The Art

Nothing quite screams "I have the brain of a genius, but self control of a chihuahua" like the art direction in this masterpiece. The 3D models are quite rough, but they represent their inspirations in a seamless way. However, the true centerpiece is the Fish, the game would not be quite the same without him. The User Interface is simple and clean, the computer screen interface design is comprehensible and accessible to even the smoothest of brains.


Final Thoughts

Hold that thought...

I like the humor and the mixed 2D/3D environment.
