Very fun but sometimes it's a bit hard to click on the right object (like textbox) and the pac man is really slow but good job

Awesome Idea! I honestly really liked the idea! Only downside was the arrow controls, it seems to keep going in the held arrows direction even though it was released. Graphics are also really nice!

I really liked the concept, and the world felt very familiar (as I'm mainly a windows user). I couldn't understand how to complete the game, although it was fun trying!

Nice little idea! How can I get the password for the user folder?

happytransportgames 2014-12-09 13:43

@dsoft20 It's a four digit password. Check the recycle bin for the names! ;)
We'll have a walkthrough soon. Since then you can contact us at: happytransportgames@outlook.com or at our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/741635929215265

I like the unusual idea.
To me, would be even cooler if this could be controlled by mouse.

asaratha 2014-12-09 17:38

Neat game, but if a menu opens it doesn't seem you can close it?

I couldn't type the password to access the user folder but it was enjoyable till this happen though.

sumgato 2014-12-09 17:41

Haha! Very nice idea, I like it. The character could run a bit faster.

Fits the theme surprisingly well, a very innovative and fun game. Great job.

alecmilne 2014-12-09 17:42

Very interesting take on the theme. Definitely a concept you could take much further with more time.

maxhaesslein 2014-12-09 17:43

Huurray!! Finished it!!

Excellent concept! I thoroughly enjoyed it until I got stuck with the text box for entering the password for the 'users' folder.

happytransportgames 2014-12-09 19:21

[SPOILER]

About the password of the users folder check the title of the window. The Recycle Bin window will also help.

@maxhaesslein Congrats mate! Hope you liked it!
@Asaratha Walk onto the X button. As you close any window in Windows :) ( just don't press Alt-F4 :D )

Sweet use of the theme :), enjoyed the way the clues were left about, was a small but fun experience, great work :D.
(Also really loved how well presented the image of each object was when opened, really felt like navigating a computer)

That was a fun little mystery game, and I liked the solution. I would have liked it if pacman moved a little faster (possibly with a toggle for hitting those precise buttons), but either way it was still entertaining.

atombrot 2014-12-10 17:04

I like the idea and the presentation very much but the controls and the objective have been a bit confusing at first (I tried to interact with the textbox. It took me a while to get that you have to click on it with the mouse.).

octoteam 2014-12-13 19:36

Loved it!

kddekadenz 2014-12-13 22:03

Doesn't seem to work for me, the screen stays white.

Hey Rick,
You'll need the Unity Web Player plug in to play it. You can get it from here: http://unity3d.com/webplayer

Thank you for the interest in playing our game :)

zazlo 2014-12-14 09:34

Very nice

pht59x 2014-12-14 18:44

You should make it clear Unity is required.

lereveur 2014-12-14 21:14

I like the idea, and your character have a better way than mine to exit from his trap ! :D

tsabanski 2014-12-19 07:20

As I played, I expected the ghosts to come out at some point and chase me around a little. :D It might've been neat to have a little bit of a threat/pressure to get through it, but it was quite enjoyable just as it was! The password puzzle was good, and digging through the files to find printer drivers was cute and fun. I liked going through and peeking at all of the files and reading things. :)

This game was PRESENTED very well. Having the image of the CRT monitor surrounding the screen was clever, and the reward of the printer image at the end was pretty cool! I haven't yet seen a game here at LD with such nice presentation! :)

dunin 2014-12-22 10:25

this is a really cool idea!
The sound is a little annoying. And It's a shame that we can't play with all the windows options (but impossible ta do in a jam game)
But really cool concept!
