Haha I like the game! Tell me about disk space I just had to import 5000 files for post-processing and I don't think I even need them :joy:

After struggling with the first mission for like 20 minutes, going throught the 2nd one in a few second and then getting stuck again on the 3rd, I must say, this game is not at all friendly to the player. I've used linux for a bit, but the game doesn't specify anything. It's probably enjoyable for people that are only very familiar with linux and working with linux's command terminal.

Helping the player along would've made this alot more enjoyable.

Very nice! Nicely highlighting that there are always multiple ways to accomplish the same thing in Linux :)

There were some little problems – `man find` showed a stub with `cat` (presumably a template for `man` pages). After the second or third level of the second loop (since the levels were the same?) the game stopped and by the CPU spike I assume there was an infinite loop somehow. But these are minor, terminal games are fun. Well done!

Very nice game! Love the idea and implementation.

This game is awesome! I think it's my favorite of this Jam so far. It's quite fun to think how you could replace some command with a combination of others.

It has a few bugs such as `man find` printing something about `cat`. Furthermore, it would have been nice if some more features were supported. For example it's a bit sad that flags (e.g. `ls -a`) and wildcards (e.g. `ls power*`) are not supported. I'm not sure how you would use find with such restricted input...

Also, the missions repeated itself and then the game got stuck after displaying a success message.

Fun 'educational' game! Got stuck on the third mission, and I am not a cli noob :laughing: - needs some more hints as to what commands can do what, and what syntax is allowed. ( | is possible, but not shown anywhere?)
