What a game... love the aesthetic, love the concept; would love to see it taken further. Only criticism is the lack of music (although this just highlights the authentic SFX) and the only way to quit the game seems to be alt+f4. Honestly, great job!
Pretty fun if a little tedious. I liked the combination of pixel art and realism and how you treated the disks like physical objects. I think playing into that some more would have been good like being able to scribble your own notes onto the disks and being able to press buttons on the computer rather than in the UI. I think the game really shined in the last level where you had to reuse disks.
This was a novel concept, it was fun to play. Very memory game-esk and scratched the good parts of my logic brain. The only part that seems like it could have had a drastic effect to how fluid the gameplay would have been is if (space) was used instead of the (enter) key to play the diskettes. It took me out of the flow when I had to move my hand from my mouse and locate the enter key every time I went to run a diskette, the arrow keys kinda did this too, but felt more natural since you weren't slapping each diskette in one after the other in quick succession. Other than that, banger puzzle game!
I like games that involve some kind of AI programming. Great concept, love that moment when you realize you need to reuse diskettes.
How does this game have such few ratings?! It genuinely think it is one of the most brilliant games I've seen thus far mechanically, and even aesthetically it totally nails down what it sets out to do! Balancing was also really well done, forcing the player to have diskettes that kinda work as a macro in order to be reused, but without allowing that logic to be broken down to singular inputs. The only thing that I could point out, and I say this out of love since I would immensely enjoy something like that, is lean more into the simulation aspect of the whole thing, so maybe by having two modes where you can control everything in a "physical" manner, (managing the diskettes, jolting notes, etc..) and another in another mode the player could fully use its keyboard to control the "virtual computer", in a text editor sort of way. Really nice job nonetheless!
Most everything has been said already but the game is great! I wish we were able to write on the floppy disks it would have helped me remember which one did what my memory isn't the best lol, the aesthetics of the game were perfect and really added to the feel of using an older piece of hardware! Congrats on this amazing achievement of a jam game!
the game is quite interesting, it was fun to play, everything was done well, both the controls and the game design itself
Brilliant combination of theme and mechanics. Took me a a minute to understand how I was meant to play, but once I understood the mechanics I really enjoyed this. Great puzzle design
Really cool game! Thought the presentation was great and the concept was really cool as well. I found that the gameplay got a bit tedious after a while, but overall the project came out feeling very well polished, definitely an impressive entry!
Absolutely brilliant. *chef kiss*
Very cool use of the theme! Pretty unique!
I really liked the whole idea of managing the diskettes, I didn't finish the whole thing but from what I played it was pretty fun! It took me a bit to understand the controls, and for some reason I could not click e from the menu I had to actually press the key on my keyboard, but that's like a very small problem
Good job!!
This game made me feel nostalgic for the good old days :cry: :smirk:
