GTA X is out now! But your signal is terrible, and the most annoying part is your friend Alex is already playing it... What do you do?

All feedback is welcome! I tried to make a humorous/meme game, but I'm not sure whether the pacing is good enough. Suggestions on how to improve the game design would be really appreciated!

Gotta give this five stars just for the spinning dog. Each upgrade felt like such a massive jump which was pure dopamine straight to the cranium. I wasn't even paying attention to the actual numbers, but the constant changes in gameplay made the progression feel so much more tangible than in most incrementals. I don't really have any negative feedback. Great work!

This is a interesting and fun little game. I didn't understand everything in the game, but I did understand enough to have fun with the game, and I did get downloaded GTA. Overall a really good jam game. Well done.

Cool idea! I wonder if it's possible to sanely complete the game on the lowest signal? :D

Nice interpretation of the theme! I really liked the progression of the game as you unlock new tools and faster speeds. Nice work!

Nice game! You couldn't just invent this as a game idea — you have to live through it xD Funny humor

Very cool concept, it has a solid progression and a very intuitive gameplay. It feels like a mobile version of Uplink!

This game is truly cooooool.When I’m downloading huge games on Steam, I wanna hog every single WiFi within range—and I pray nobody else uses the internet so the WiFi’s ALL MINE!

Was the dog meant to be a real robo dog stealing parts of files? Very funny, well done :D

This is funny asf bruh :laughing: Once I get the idea I knew this is one of the kind, really brilliant use case of that game genre( how do you call this type of games, where numbers need to grow magnitude higher and higher?)

Quickly got the GTAX app, thought it is just a fun and nice entry, then realized it was just the downloader, really kicked my ass I laughed so hard, Alex was funny too, and there's a dog ascii and all that hacker shit, I had a lot of fun, thanks!

(卧槽才发现哥们你是那个之前做那个啥的那个,进步真快啊,厉害的

@wo-ri-gou-le 感谢游玩喵!这种应该叫增量游戏。做这个的初衷是想做点带剧情的东西,想学一学danman9914和lectvs的那种超展开的风格。感觉其实学得不怎么好()不过还是感谢游玩喵!

i thought was really cool how it posed a question to the user, and made them have ethical choices, very interesting! really beautifully designed and aesthetic was very consistent, and cohesive. Great job!

This was great! Such a fun experience. The pacing was perfect and the game kept entertaining and surprising me. Really enjoyed it!

...And to address your remark in the description, I'm not trying to "be nice" ;) You did a great job with this one!

I guess if I'm really trying to think of something, the only space for improvement I can come up with would be to make the background music a bit more varied. It sounds good but it feels like it should build up a bit more, with some more elements coming in after a while perhaps? That's nitpicking though, and only because you explicitly asked for feedback.

Loved the game and I'm looking forward to your future entries.

@vidarn Thanks for playing! I'm still a beginner at making music, but I'll definitely learn it when I have more time =)

Wow I just realized I've played your game! I really enjoy it!

That was fun! Fits the theme. If I had to complain about something it would be, that the music was super loud and that it wasn't really clear that I had to scroll down in the menu bar on the left to find the newly unlocked tools.

Great use of the theme. The popup notifications were great to mark milestones. Love that it had a definitive ending. Felt like an incremental game on fast forward. Could have maybe stretched it a bit with a few upgrade steps. It felt a little jarring suddenly going from 1 wifi to being able to use ALL of them at once. Overall, very well done.
