Fun game! (although i almost broke my keyboard trying to get those 200 characters). Something you might want to watch out for in the future though is making the text more readable.

anton-potatis 2018-08-13 19:39

@greenboxgames Thanks for the feedback!

samuel-kriman 2018-08-13 19:41

Oh man, this was really hectic. Made me feel like I was under a ton of pressure so I kept messing up the minigames.

anton-potatis 2018-08-13 19:44

@samuel-kriman Ha-ha! :laughing: Hope you enjoyed it!

Fun game! I hurt my fingers trying to get the 200 characters puzzle, but it was worth it! Well done!

yamiog 2018-08-13 21:47

I went nutz spamming my keyboard to get 200 charcters. The only thing I didn't like was that match the colors game it just seem luck based, but other than that it was pretty fun!

meschdog17 2018-08-13 23:16

Fun and but really easy for things to get outa control xD

stames 2018-08-13 23:25

very nice work but I am sooo bad in this game X-D this get all in the same color chalange. just how?? xD

the different Backgrounds are a realy nice touch.

helen 2018-08-13 23:26

I like the different little games, you never know what comes next. The game I liked most was the typing :D

diego-goncalves 2018-08-13 23:43

Good job. I wasnt able to finish any of the color mini games, kept pressing right over the ones i wanted.

pacochan 2018-08-14 00:01

Cool game! And the wallpaper change option is a nice detail (I chose the XP one). I didn't manage to solve the match the colors puzzles. Also, sometimes I needed to click on icons several times for them to work. But yeah, besides that, it was fun!

chaach 2018-08-14 00:30

the game is good, the tutorial is great and really helped me, the typing puzzle was fun, but the matching color wasn't because it's luck based and too many colors making it harder to get the right one.

A very original, interesting creation :) ! Well done :) !! The pixel art style is nice and most of the mini games interesting and hectic ! I had some trouble reading the font sometimes but other than that, this was a solid LD entry, keep it up :) !!

@digital-bacon @yamiog @meschdog17 @stames @helen @diego-goncalves @pacochan @chaach @noa-calice Thank you all for the great feedback! I really appreciate it!

Hey its a fun game, I like the minigame, I was trying to change the color of one button at a time, but then I figured out I should click one for each and move on to another, thats more efficient. For some reason I cant delele the files by clicking on them tho, Idk if its a known bug to you.

The game fits the theme a bit loosely though, such that you have a timer and if you complete task the timer decreases, and the timer is the space here. Also I think when I get the password, you should leave some frame for me to see that all the buttons are in the same color before displaying the screen that I have deleted the virus, because it takes away the satisfaction of completing the minigame.

Anyhow, good job putting together a nice game with a cohesive theme within the game. Keep it up!

So original game. I like it

james-dunlap 2018-08-17 03:32

Original idea for the theme. I liked the various mini-games, but didn't really like the typing one unlike others.

darylsteak 2018-08-19 23:57

The game was fun.At first I didnt know that clicking on the file would prompt the game. The colour game also seemed RNG based. But overall, its not bad.

merpader 2018-08-23 19:56

some 'mini games' seemed extremely hard to beat like the all one color game, I think it shouldn't be random colorpicking and instead a cycle so the player has something to get used to. other than that it was fun to play and had some good graphics

renier 2018-08-25 16:13

Really liked it (the 200 characters makes you break your keyboard :P) also really loved the old windows background lol

eric-kulbiej 2018-08-25 17:26

Great art style and sound. Good job. I like the mechanics as well. Keep it up!

Please do check my game maybe you’ll like it and leave some feedback.

Neat little idea, graphics were pretty cool. I didn't find much variation in the puzzles, and the colour change one was really frustrating as the next colour for each square seemed to be chosen at random so sometimes you just didn't have enough time to make them all the same colour. Overall a neat little game, but I would recommend adding more puzzles and make them more puzzle-like if that makes sense, also I feel like the files being installed increased way too quickly for me to keep up. Other than that, well done :D

ghastlymicrowave 2018-08-25 19:18

Thank you kanye, very cool!

cristihkj 2018-08-26 11:33

Great game! Very cool and interesting! 5/5 Overall! :D

diaxcor 2018-08-26 19:38

I really love the game style, the pixel art effect and the customizable background, otherwise the game idea is not that perfect,but the gameplay is pretty fun keep up the good work ^^

nihilaleph 2018-08-27 00:18

Great entry! Very fun and the nice art style (being able to change the background is a plus :thumbsup: ) I just found the changing the color box a bit boring, but it might be personal preference :wink:

Cheers!

Nice game, I hope to see more updates and improvments sooner. If you don't bother take a look at our game when we focused on Graphics and visuals and see the results that we got: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/spacelab-42 Commenti haddi

I couldn't get any higher than a C. The keyboard spamming is enjoyable, and it's a miracle that I can still type this comment. The colour game was stressful, but became satisfying when I thought of faster ways to solve them. The graphics are nicely arranged with nice colours, no eye sore anywhere. Music is a bit repetitive, but it's hard to notice with all the intense clicking and typing. Overall, great job.

Neat game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/WOSoM8jnjZc

Very cool and fun game ! The idea is very nice and the challanges are thought well. The graphics are great. I liked playing it !
