The game is well done, although it's bitch hard... : Don't think it suits the theme, though, but even so... it was fun playing! :)

Hell yeah.

Fun! I suck at Mastermind but it stayed interesting. Some different layouts for the route might have been nice.
I commend your effort but I didn't feel the fun factor here. Audio was very well done though and I liked the server names :)
Really liked this game, though it did remind me a bit of the plumbing from bioshock. Audio was excellent as well.
Was winning supposed to generate an error?
pdyxs, no it's not supposed to be like this.
The error is fixed in the patched version. (It only happens when you got 2 achievements with the same score, so the game crashes on deciding which rank to use :D)
It's still kinda funny getting a error on the winning screen of a hack-game :) Thanks for your comment and I'm glad you liked it.
Fun game, takes a bit more thinking than most. The 5-digit mastermind puzzels were challenging!
Definitely one I will go back to to try and beat! One thing Hey that's a fun game, it's hard to begin with but after you hack your first box it really starts to flow. I did have a couple of frustrated restarts before I could figure out how to play though since I didn't realise you had to double click the servers :) Clever interpretation of the theme.
Pretty cool idea. Those master mind puzzles were tough, I had to give up at the 5 digit one. Maybe whenever you get a new ~ or ! it gives you a little more time? I think that could add to the tension while also giving players more time.
KilledByAPixel, you can buy additional seconds in the market (taking the red pill). It's still hard though.
I already doubled the times after noticing noone else than me can succeed. Seems like it's still too fast. Lesson learned :)
Instant crash, looks like i don't have a dependency installed that you used.
Care to post WHAT needs to be installed?
Oh, I thought by now everyone should have .Net Framework 3.5 installed as 4.0 already came by Windows Update :D

Pipe-hacking lifted straight from Alien Swarm (and others) and Mastermind, but at least put together in a nice package. My primitive ape brain couldn't hack fast enough to finish the game, but at least that means it had a decent scaling difficulty.
Wherefor art thou, Theme?
well about the theme I used the enemies (the server) as a weapon against other servers. (as you need X Servers/Bandwidth to hack another one) - lil bit abstract.
Can't blame you for that. btw. Alien Swarm was the inspiration for the pipe-hacks :D
A pretty good hacking game. Reminded me a lot of Uplink. I liked the voice samples and music too. The only problems were that I never quite understood how the hacking requirements worked, or when I would ever need a firewall. The game also crashed when I hacked 4chan.
Hacking music WIN! Great job on the coolness factor.
Really good look and feel. I'd really like a more shallow learning curve. Also, the visual puzzle was much cooler than the number one.
Crashes when launching. I have .Net Framework 4.0, so not sure what the problem is. Didn't vote since I can't run it.
interesting, but really hard... :(
Too hard.
