_Hacking is Probably Not Like This_ is a game that is (supposedly) about hacking.
And how do we hack? Puzzle games!
In the futuristic year of 20XX, you take on the role of a talented hacker, falsely accused of a laundry list of crimes by the state, and set to be imprisoned in 30 days.
An unknown benefactor reaches out to you and offers you a deal - help them hack the secrets out of the world's biggest and most infamous corporations, and they'll help get you your freedom.
But you have to stay sharp - keeping the machine you use running alive takes lots of energy (electro-juice, natch), earned from successful hacks. Fail too many times and, well, it's lights out.
Hacking is Probably Not Like This contains at least 11 puzzle games (and less than 13) for you to enjoy, and lets you live out the dream of enacting 10 kinds of justice to a randomly generated list of over a hundred corporations.
It is playable both on the web (in HTML5) and Windows, and you can find the links at the bottom of this page.
_Hacking_ was developed solely by myself in Godot over 48 hours for the Ludum Dare 46 Compo (Keep it Alive).
It is controlled with the arrow keys to move, and the Z key to select (with P to pause), and features autosave capability. It also features background imagery taken from my room, my desk full of anime stuff, and a nearby river which normally looks real nice, but currently is kind of brown.
There is no sound (sorry!), but feel free to put on your best lo-fi beats to hack/cyberpunk to. The font used for the game is Inconsolata.
_Hacking_ is my second release under the label 300g curry lab, a sub-label of my indie game circle 300g curry rice. We make all sorts of indie games celebrating mixes of anime homage and nostalgic game remake, and I'd be plenty pleased to have you either follow my circle or myself (invelica - previously sayumeki) on Twitter.
Thanks for your time! Happy hacking!
