Very cool gameplay. Reminded me (in a good way) of the DeusEx hacking mechanic crossed with Minesweeper. Good sound design as well.

Great job!

Very solid gameplay and the writing was excellent as well. Nicely done!

Wow, really really good stuff here, top marks all round. Added benefit, your typing sound gave me crazy ASMR!

Very cool game, the typing sound reminded me of carmen sandiego haha. Also nice names "MidnightToker" haha.

Surprisingly detailed when you get to later levels and unlock stuff... would have preferred that mission failure was "replay level" not "restart".

You had a lot of fun with the theme, nice job on taking the real twitter accs :)

Just added (untested) linux version along with other desktop versions. Enjoy!

Really nice unique gameplay and plot!

A couple of things:
- I can't click to skip the intro text like I can for other text in the game, although it mysteriously works if I go to another browser tab and come back. Not a big deal.
- I missed that it was find AND frag the target at first, leading to a couple of unnecessary deaths. The instructions should maybe have shown the actual frag button as well as the target's icon.

I needed some time to get into the game, but when you get how to play it is much fun. Very well executed. I like it very much.

I'm a sucker for minesweeper style games, this is really enjoyable.

That's cool. A bit of work on the mechanics and this could be a great mobile game

Good concept, nice puzzle game. Reminds me of combinatorics and graph theory.

The main two suggestions I have are that either you should be able to restart a failed mission instead of the entire series, or money should carry over. Maybe I was mistaken, but it felt like any profit I got from finishing a mission early didn't help with the next mission, and then it hurt to lose all the fancy tools I had gained. Promising ideas though!

Stupendous!, simple and fun with a balance of challenge

Like Mr-X boardgame, nice basis for an LD game. Well implemented.

Love this style of game, :)

I kept wanting to move using commands and a fake unix prompt rather than clicking -- get that "real hacking" feel :D

Oh man, loved so much about this game. Only issue is that I would love to see a "restart level", rather than a restart game... or perhaps take the player back another step or two, just not all the way back to start. Other than that, brilliant!

Ahhh, cyberpunk! *.* instant 5.

Oh, and yeah, gameplay is also great and original. :D

I loved this! Such a fun and simple thinking game. Reminded me of the board game Scotland Yard. :) Great job.

Very fun and addicting.

Tough little game, loved the concept though. I couldn't get very far into it due to sucking so bad, which was a shame because I felt I could have enjoyed it more.

Great game !
shasharala1 May 2014, 02:02
That was a good experience. Quite difficult, but in a swell way. Reminded me a tad of Minesweeper which I played extensively as a child.

Nice game! It's a shame that when you die, you have to start all over again. Very cool though! Great job!

I will not vote for it beacuse not enough in the theme i think but very nice game i encourage you to make a better version and sort it officially.

This is really addictive! I have to say, this is hands down the most fun LD29 game I've played so far. Very nice work!
