Very cool concept! Reminded me of the Fallout 4 computer hacks ๐Ÿ˜†

Maybe I'm just early, but surprised this hasn't seen more attention. Embodies the theme perfectly and is both hilarious and fun.

When I watch Kung Fury next, I'm going to be imagining Hacker Man hacking away in this style.

Excellent build!

Malwar-

good music fun graphics.

adjective noun wasn't immediately clear as i first tried large carrot , then large explosion haha

I love the addng other terminals and all the other uprade features like the autocomplete and dictionary scanner. Definitely a good one i can come back to!!!!

Amazing gameplay! I love how scattergories is reimagined with this theme. The ambiance is so great! Really god job!!

Spend a lot of time trying to remember more synonyms of "big" haha. And I loved it! This is 100% how I believe hacker's job is done: you're typing BIG ULTRA FIRE TREMENDOUS MEGA GREAT EXPLOSION in the terminal, everything MUST be black-green and also hacker must type as fast as possible or the hack won't succeed. Very accurate!

@abraxas Thanks, thatโ€™s exactly what I wanted to convey! Thanks for playing and for the feedback.

This was fun! Enjoyed getting all upgrades and finding all words, but was not able to clear the virus off completely no matter how fast i typed attacks sadly! Very good use of theme and cool ambience, great entry!

Loved the aesthetic of this one and gameplay was thoroughly enjoyable! Thanks for the entry :)) Only complaint is that my lazy brain probably got... out of words XD at some point (*and I didn't feel like I want to be repeating myself*), so, I don't know - maybe some hint system to keep you *going*. Besides that - pretty cool!

It took me awhile to realize I can chain MANY adjectives together, not simply one (some players will miss that). That made it cooler for me : )))

Really fun and creative hacking game! Cool-cold retro terminal style and idea of using words to fight viruses. Nice entry, i think can be developed further in pretty demo!

Turning increasingly ridiculous attack phrases into actual damage is a great idea! Discovering new words gives the typing an extra hook, and upgrades like Caps Lock fit the premise so well. That's good that the wall of text seems not being able to kill you, as I was initially afraid.

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUSLY GLORIOUSLY FABULOUS GAME

It's a good idea, it helps me brush up on my English ๐Ÿ˜„

Great idea for a game! Had fun playing it, haven't seen something like this before, and what's cool is that you can expand this game so much! Really cool concept, I'm impressed :>
