How does the game fit the theme?
The terminal lies to you all the time, confuses you, give false pop ups, gaslights you, and makes you paranoid about your choices.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
The icons in the os of the game as used from an asset pack. The music is also from asset packs.
How many people worked on the game?2

I had to program my game in C++ so this is kind of giving me flashbacks lmao! I love how you had to manage your terminal and figure out which commands you had to do to prevent the virus from spreading! I think it might be a good idea to have a .txt file that explains what you need to do to counter act some of the warnings that show up on the screen - I had a pretty hard time figuring out how to handle some of the warning messages without adding more to the virus score. Either way, I'm glad you were able to finish the game before the deadline - I know 7 minutes was kind of cutting it close lol! Good luck with the rest of your jam, and I hope you had a really fun time!
Thanks for playing! Scaling the difficulty was a hard part for us. If the game is easy at the start, then you get a good start but on consecutive runs it become too easy to beat. But if its too hard, beginning is tough, but re-runs still remains somewhat challenging.
Once I figured the game out I was able to win two runs in approximately 15 seconds, thus never having to interact much with the lies of the terminal which is unfortunate :/ But in the previous runs I liked the game's ways of sabotaging you. Maybe the game would have benefitted from some other mechanics so as to not be beatable in under a minute, then again I know there was only a week to make a game, so nice job regardless. I like the name of the game ^^ Nice idea and it fits the theme well!
very good idea
