Frankie is a common IT guy, he just cares about his lovely PCs and servers. He feels that work as admin must be like live in heaven except one moment… There are days when creatures from hell, usually called BFU, are trying to use his loved PCs and spread virus among them or damage them like dirty mouse wheel. But there is one thing which makes his day, slapping the BFUs. So, welcome in IT department simulator !
Frankie, the network admin guy, controls, repairs or scan nearby PCs and servers by using shell commands or performing special admin actions, for example sacrificing goat. Admin runs between his office and computers to fix all the problems caused by the users. The computers are connected via network to server which can be seen in the computer network map. If computer is infected then virus can also spread to the connected server through which other computers can be infect later in the network.
To win just survive for given time limit and at least one user has to stay. But to lose is pretty simple - just piss off all users, so all of them will leave.
Game controls: Arrow keys – admin’s moves “bump” to PC or server – connect with PC or server to fix them Type letters – enter shell command to fix PCs and servers Enter – send shell command Left CTRL, Command – show map

Ha! I play the speedtest typing program with the "unix commands" word set. This game felt exactly like that. It would be nice to be able hold down the arrow keys to move instead of pressing them a bunch. But I had fun playing it.
Neat. It's an interesting idea although being able to use the arrow keys to go back and fix things rather than deleting everything first would be nice. :)
Idea is cool but i can't really play, my keyboard is an european AZERTY, the letters are OK, but when i want to use other signs (like "&" or ";"), they aren't in the good place in my keyboard. So it's pretty hard...
I like this kind of games but I couldn't play it as I wanted because when I "&", it actually writes "^" (maybe that's because I have a japanese keyboard). Nice idea by the way!
yay typing game! Fun. And those commands looked very realistic... I don't know enough linux to know if they're all actually real, wouldn't surprise me though :)
managed to win, it's impossible to save too many though, they decay far too fast. decently fun typing game though, could have used a bit more funny commands.
Very challenging, even after a minute or two. Very very good submission though. Good job on the sounds, graphics and the overall game. Great job, seriously. One of the better games I played so far!
- Too long distance between servers.
