Really an amazing short fun game.
I really enjoyed it's great humor and the hilarious randomly generated Network and filenames. The graphics also have a nice style to them.

Sometimes it feels a little bit unfair when I just find way too slow networks, but as each game is very short it doesn't really matter.
I always get a thrill when I see a cop coming near.

It's a simple concept, but very well executed.
I really like this one. Good work!

Found a rather fast, open network, and still couldn't complete the game. Too much random and not enough skill.

Short and fun. The controls are bit confusing at first, but it takes a try or two and you're all set. I like the graphics and the humour.

good.

I thought it was very nice, I liked the file names and I thought they were pretty funny. I didn't like how slow the internet speeds were, I thought there was going to be a gold mine one where it would be super fast, but I would look around and then I would run out of time.

@Falkreon @surpy
Well, I did fail quite fantastically at the random distributions.
But also a tip: After you find a connection with a good upload speed (since download speeds don't really do anything because deprecated features) you have to move around until you get an optimal signal reception. And also cops are pretty dumb.

An interesting concept. It took me a while to figure out what I was actually doing - I think changing up the interface a little would help (maybe have the laptop automatically pop up when you're stopped, tie hacking and network selection to keys instead of using the mouse).

I think you've earned a five star in innovation! A really interesting and funny game, a bit hard in the beginning when i didn't know that the police wouldn't shot if you didn't upload. A fun game!

Really cool idea.

Great work man, simple concept but yet quite a lot of fun ;)

Tough game but really original. I liked the wireless mechanics. Looked good. But these cops were really annoying and hard to avoid. I kept dying :(
Overall a nice little game. Very innovative. I liked your approach on the theme. The graphics were okay, unfortunately no audio at all. Good humor and nice mood. Good job on finishing something.

Really fun (and funny!) little game. Innovative concept, well executed.

michaeljlong 2012-12-18 08:14

Fun and Different, nice one. Could maybe use more instructions?

Fun little game. I really have no complaints, maybe some music would've made it better, though.

Rather amusing game, there is no bigger villain then those evil pirates, think of the poor musicians, they may only be able to afford one yacht this year!

mcc 2012-12-20 04:03

clever concept, and the random network names/stuff you're stealing is priceless. but i feel like this could've used a little different approach for to the execution

zappi 2012-12-20 16:42

Great idea! Honestly, I didn't succeed uploading that stuff, but I've got a lot of fun trying :)

nolanlabs 2012-12-20 20:48

Nice idea and actually good intense gameplay.

gamerespect 2012-12-22 17:30

Neat (and weird) idea, gorgeous aesthetic, though it was alittle confusing at first.

rabbits 2012-12-24 21:47

I found this game to be very fun because you have to keep changing between the keyboard to move and the mouse to hack, good job

chrisamaphone 2012-12-24 21:49

felt authentically clumsy trying to manipulate my laptop while running around.

sometimes i lost for unclear reasons.

pierrec 2012-12-29 14:37

Not only the idea is great, but you also managed to make it fun AND relevant! I think the controls are fine, and the difficulty well balanced. I failed 3 or 4 time, then I won very easily with a great open network. I love it!

laaph 2013-01-01 21:57

Fun and cute! Did not manage to upload anything. :(

azurenimbus 2013-01-05 02:01

Haha nice take on the theme.

adventureislands 2013-01-06 16:23

Interesting idea, though could have used more polishing and some sounds.

After couple of tries managed to find quick connection and upload and win quite fast. Ha.
