Wonderful! I like the smart use of the puzzles, knowing that many of us are programmers ;)

Awesome to see some ASCII games here. :) But in the end, I was left to die in my cell... :/

Web port is being made, and I hope I will be ready with it before the end of the judjing.

Very cool little game. I really loved the art work. Great job!

pretty cool! Took me a minute to realise that the popups were separate processes and that I should allow windows to fire them up, but that just added to the hacking aesthetic :)

Couldn't get past the red floor (if there was a way past).

Good fun!

OH MY GOD. I love you <3 It's awesome ! But I can't go trough the red chamber :/

Interesting! Somewhat short though. Nice ascii art, but I'll really have to think about how I'll rate this on the graphics :D.

Those graphics evoke such a warm, fuzzy feeling. The whole thing had an enjoyably primitive, first-person adventure game feel. Congrats.

While the binary at the end(?) was quite rude, I enjoyed getting there. The ASCII art is a nice touch and the puzzles are very appropriate for it.

I loved the ASCII art and the "hacking" puzzle. Short, fun game - nicely done!

I don't want to believe the red level is the last, it says "truth is a lie" which means there must be a way out and the binary is rude too :P

Interesting entry though.

I did translade the binary message in last part hahaha ;) Great work :D
