You are a file on a computer desktop which has suddenly been given life. A mysterious notification appears...
This is a short adventure. There was a lot more I wanted to do, but the time constraint and a bunch of Unity bugs made it impossible. Lesson learned.
==== [CONTROLS] ================================
WASD (or arrow keys) to move. Left click (or Z) to... well, click. :D You need to double-click to interact with certain things.
==== [TIP] =====================================
Try to inspect everything, because you may miss something if you're not careful. :D
==== [KNOWN ISSUES] =============================
I am so sorry if you experience difficulty clicking on things. It appears to be related to frame rate, and I did not know this since I only tested on my own machine. =( Thanks for your patience!
Web players, press Escape if you want control of your mouse back. Don't worry if you don't see it, it's still there, just invisible when over the game area.
I made a couple of "typo" bug fixes (according to the rules) within a couple hours after the jam:
1) Changed Web player resolution to match the standalone and removed context menu. 2) Fixed a checkbox triggering a sound it shouldn't have. 3) Fixed music not looping.
I always thought cookies are good, but this game made me reconsider :D Game is beautifull, it really gives you feeling you are in you computer. Congrats!
Easily one of my favorites out of the 40+ I've judged this evening. I'd love to see this expanded out into a full game. The polish already on display is superb. :)
This game was very well made. I also found it quite humorous. It's a shame that it wasn't longer, but for the amount of time that you had, I'm impressed with how much content there is.
Funny, I really loved the survey! The graphics were good, especially the filter over the entire screen. When I first saw the screenshots, I thought you might've taken a picture of your monitor with a camera! I'd love to see a longer version of this.
I apologize for the clicking problems, Zayron. I did not know this to be an issue until now. It appears to be related to frame rate and collision detection. =( The faster your computer, the easier time you will have.
Take all my stars. Everything was really well done and incredibly original, with great writing, particle/screen effects and was fun to explore. The refill of the hearts was genius.
The double click (getting started) and ending could be missed without a little guidance. I get that's part of the humor, but I was tricked out of it.
This was one of the best LD games I've played thus far.
This was a perfect score for me. The art and music was adorable, I laughed out loud several times, the gameplay was simple and enjoyable. The only problem I had with it is that it ended too soon! :c
The best one I have tried so far. Looks great and plays great. Only thing I think could be better is if you could aim with the arrowkeys instead of the mouse, but thats just my preference.
This game gets a perfect score from me. That game just brought me so much happiness, thank you. I'd love to play an extended version of this. Gosh, incredibly well done!
I love your game. The idea and presentation are very original, the character sprite has 'character' and it all looks so good. Love the cookies/quikies and the readme notes. I want to have more adventures in this computer. 5*
That was really cute and fun! I'd love to see it fleshed out into an action... RPG... whatever it is? with a full story, maybe some puzzles or just generally more complicated unlock conditions for files. This thing is a good thing! Make there be more of it!
Graphics look great and consistent, you made really good visual choices. The only thing that felt a bit off to me was the mouse controls; it felt strange to have the mouse button click the pointer-sword-thing but not have the mouse position control the direction of attack. That is literally the only thing approaching a complaint that I have, though.
Outstanding entry! There's been a few games that play with the "one screen" theme like this, but this is probably the best executed of all the ones I've seen. Great graphics and sound, too!
This was totally awesome. Really innovated based on the theme to make something totally unique. This was a lot of fun to play, and you should totally do more on this. The mechanic was really cool.
I would love a longer version because this is just amazing! I liked the humor on the survey :P
even if this game is unfinished (somehow), it felt finished because you said it will end in the game! also I like that the game has a bit of game play to it, not just exploring.
I really think this game would sell if you make a good version of it. so please let us know if you are planning to.
I loved this game! So many little touches that added to the experience. I just wanted to explore everything. I enjoyed the nods to zelda at the beginning when you pick up the cursor as your attack (pretty clever). The way that you moved around and interacted with this was extremely intuitive since it's all based on normal computer interactions. Every time a window opened up, I was delighted to find what it contained. Even though you didn't get to finish, I still feel like I played a fun game. The combat was a little strange since it felt like I was not taking damage when I should. Not complaining though since that second combat was a little on the difficult side (reminded me of those rooms full of blue knights in zelda tbh). Having the time in the bottom right reflect the real time on my machine was a nice touch. The post effects to add the graininess and slight fish eye distortion looked really really nice, and the overall look of the game was fantastic, especially the animations on the enemies and attack. There's so much potential here and I really hope you continue this project to make it into a complete game! Thanks for creating this and letting the world see it!
Hey, this was pretty neat. The incompetech sound sort of spoiled the mood but otherwise it was really cool. I liked that there's a "secret admirer" and that the text files sort of lied to you. It reminds me of a game I made once (but was much less polished than this!)
This was adorable. I also had some problems both with clicking and collision detection, which made the Quikies screen basically unwinnable, but this game was so charming that that didn't mar the experience.
Wow, that was adorable and really well made. I pretty much loved everything about the game, except maybe for the end, but just cause I wished it was longer. Amazing job overall!
Haha, cute! Excellent graphics and animation. The "puzzles" were nice, they kept me intrigued until I got to the end "For real this time". The survey was especially amusing.
Maybe if you expand this game, the hero eventually faces the final boss, the Control Character?

Great game, btw :)

Had to play it twice to find the exit from the End window. :)
The thing I would want is more!

Fun tip to beat the boss: Run back to home base. It prevents the spawned minions from bothering you too much except the dog. : )
Cool stuff.

sorry I didn't played it during the jam =/
