Nice idea, typing the attacks' name so that it felt like a hacking showdown. This is a sleeper hit for sure, the graphics, the sounds, & the themes matched perfectly well, I had so much fun. 

The only thing I could think of a way to improve the game is, if you add RPG aspects to it, maybe improve your computer's stats or somethin. Otherwise, great job!

Very nice game. Good music and gameplay. AI can be made difficult.

Loved this game. A true hidden gem. It was juicy, and had fun gameplay. There were some elements that were a little confusing/inconsistent. But the pokemon battle style merged with hacker man abilities was fun/silly/and enjoyable. Thanks for this experience!

Amazing Game. The audio and gamplay are Great. Sometimes the enemy uses ransomware  for 4 turns. Very Good Job!

Wooooah!! This is an amazing game! So interesting and unique not like any other game I rated so far.

The idea of hacking and actually "typing" is really cool and fun. At first I was totally enjoying the game... but then I didnt know what I was doing so it got a bit boring somehow... the first computer was a bit too strong, so it took me a while to defeat it and by that time I was too bored to continue.

But man that game has potential!!!

I'm sorry for that ! The first IA should be easy to beat since she just throw random attack (actually some player say it was too easy...). 

The objective of the game is to discover the effects of abilities and to play accordingly (so we can't say exactly what each attack do but with the help of the "battle box" that describe move when they are throw you should find).

This is an intersting game! Pokemon but make it hacker-like

The animations are so cool! and the assets are so well done! I would recommend to change the GUI so it matches a bit more with the art of the style of the computers. 

And I agree with the comments here! The game does not fit the theme

But its a nice work anyways, so well done!

You guys nailed it with the visuals and audio! 

The concept is super cool, and I enjoyed most of the battles I had, especially when I picked up a new ability from the last fight (ransomware is my favorite).

My only complaint is during my play through the last two fights (including NASA) were a little too easy. Kind of wish the A.I. was a little more aware that their systems were infected with a virus, rather than use Optimization or Overclocking ability for their turn.

Overall, amazing job!

Thanks for your honest comment! It's good to know that there are certain people who really love our work :D.

Regarding the AI I know that the razer pc is completely trash (he always overclock) :/ ... (we are going to rework it).However, it seems that NASA's AI is strong enough for most people.

Amazing computer theme, the graphics and sound fit together well. I enjoyed playing so much, and managed to beat it.
