This is more of a proof of concept than anything else. Real life hit me hard this weekend, but I wanted to do SOMETHING. "broken" is playable, but it might only take you 5 minutes to play through. I don't expect much in the way of votes, I just wanted to show you guys the cool(?) idea I had!

The usage of the theme may not be immediately apparent, but if you play through it should become clear.

I found the blocks with eyes very cute. I couldn't figure out the password to move forward though :(

wow, that was out of the box! Very nice approach to the theme and nice game mechanics. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get very far though (since I'm not a programmer) but I got to the end! Very nice experience!

Also thanks for the kind words about my game! I replied your message there =]

Nice use of coding and gaming, i like it.

Also spoiler the first password is "broken", took me a couple of times to realize that the little blue people are not enemies.

Nice attempt tot he theme, I really like that "investigation" feeling needed to find the password :D

Cool little entry, a nice sense of style. Had to think about a few things just long enough! Not much scope, but I liked the idea for the theme anyway.

I got that the password was "broken" but couldn't figure out where to stand to type it in to make the door open, tried a bunch of different places.

It's a game that makes me smile! The use of programming language in puzzle solving is interesting :)

Easily one of the most unique entries I've seen. Well done!

Nice concept, would've liked it to be more obvious where you can type. It reminded me of this one, so check it out if you need some inspiration or something http://www.demonsterdebugger.com/game

Made it to the end, I like the concept, you should develop it further!

Great game but where is theme?

Thanks for all your comments, guys! :) For now I'm not really going to respond to any individual ones...just because judging is still happening, you know. I'll let my submission page and entry speak for themselves.

(One note, though--if you go to the directory the web page is in, you'll find a zip file with most of the source for the game. What you'd have to do to compile it is have a Flash file with the main class set as BSystem. Then you'd need the graphics as assets in the library. Anyway, the point is if you're into AS3 you should be able to figure out what's going on! Not that it's too hugely innovative or even cleanly coded...)

An interesting idea, although I didn't have to edit any of the actual code when I was playing. The player characters were cute.

Great idea but I found it a little too easy but still very enjoyable
shasharala4 May 2014, 07:24
That was enjoyable. I really liked the unique take on the theme.

I would like to see this idea explored more.

So different, really awesome!
Haha, I did try edit the code...

Very cool idea. Too bad you hadn't full weekend to work because it would be amazing.

I thought that was a really clever idea, nice interpretation of the theme too & a great idea for a programming tutorial. Nice one.
