MapleOS: Backup Royale is a gripping tale about human survival and the will to safeguard knowledge and tradition. Wait, no... it's actually just a game about saving as much shitfiles from your computer before a virus takes over.
To do so, you must carefully manage your files to make sure you use the limited space across your 10MB hard drive and your shitty floppy disks, without RUNNING OUT OF SPACE!!!!!!!!!! Take some time to browse through the files, after some time, a virus will start propagating in your PC and lead to the end of the game.
The game is really hard to finish as such, and you will most definitely fail. But you will sure get a good laugh from it browsing through the numerous files.
DISCLAIMER
While all models and UI elements and most of the content in the files (including texts, sounds and videos) found in the game were created during the jam, several assets were taken from the internet and passed through filters and various effects. As it were part of the game's theme, we don't know if it makes it uneligible for the graphics category.
Liked the idea of using the computer's drive and floppy disks as a storage management game. I ended up putting every ".fap" file into "pron" and got a decent score. Good work!
Love the aesthetic and atmosphere of the game. It's nice how the floppy disks orient themselves into the slot when you release them. For a second I thought it was going to be a Hand Simulator sort of experience. The fact that it plays the file load animation whenever you back out of a file gets old after a while even if that's how a real Apple II works. It'd probably be cool if you found even more mysterious images and put together some sort of narrative that player has to piece together from looking through all the files.
Really nice presentation and great atmosphere. Got caught up just checking what kind of gifs and photos you put on there and got killed by the virus. Was fun trying to move files around from floppy disk to computer to floppy disk. Cool game!
Holy shit I enjoyed that a lot more than I should have haha
Amazing job selling the mood guys, audio and graphics both are perfect! I can tell a lot of polish went into this, specially visuals, with all the image effects you applied. It really works together really well.
Just to nitpick a bit, I think the pile of disks bugged out at some point in one of my playthroughs, since I wasn't able to use floppys from the top (it would just hover when holding mouse1, I couldn't move it around), just from the bottom.
All in all, I really enjoyed the goal of the game and the gameplay itself, and great job in the humor department haha :D
Really awesome game! Loved the audio and graphics. It felt like a demo of a triple A game! The gameplay was a bit iffy, but everything else made up for it.
