A good incremental game with a Windows 95 aesthetic that has its own charm, featuring plenty of original additions. Some work on the sound design would have been a nice touch! Still, you’ve managed to get me addict at this game, I actually want to finish it, haha!
You got me, I want to finish the game now! I think the UI is a bit too small and therefore hard to read on the HMTL5 release. If you could allow for fullscreen i think that'd fix it
to make it more addictive, probably you need to have some small interactions that the user can do. So far its mostly waiting until there is enough money to buy the next levelup
A neat concept built around the familiar chaos of searching through piles of computer files.
This is a very clever idea and it looks great. The interaction is super intuitive, too. It does feel a bit too slow to progress, however. I feel like the upgrades could be tweaked a bit more in the player's favour, but that's a balancing issue more than anything. The only think I feel like it was missing was music or sound, but given it was emulating a Windows 3.1 experience - that kind of makes sense! Good work!
Nice idea and the ui is on point ! I wish there would be things to interract while waiting for money to increase, a message inbox with random jokes for example, or tasks to do while waiting which could add a bit of pressure. Also some background music would have been nice. But still got until the end nonetheless :)
That was a cool idea. I agree with the other commenter, a little bit of sound design would have been great. I was playing it like a true idler, doing other things in parallel. That was fun!
Nice game, the WIndows 95 aestetic works really well! At the moment, there isn't too much to do other than waiting untill you have enough money to buy the next upgrade, but I guess if I played it the way you're supposed to play idle games that wouldn't have been a problem... Also yeah, some audio would have been nice!
Outside of waiting, was there anything for the player to do for the first couple minutes before you found any money? It felt a little too slow to start off, even for an incremental.
Yay, victory! I couldn't quite figure out why I should buy decompression/searching/decrypting speeds since all of the files were processed in parallel as soon as they had been found, making the only limiting factor the locating speed. Even when I filled my screen with files it seems like it was still able to continue locating more files and processing them in parallel. Agree with the others that some other small interaction would be nice to have while waiting, but I still found the game satisfying to play and complete. Nice job!
