nice game. i liked it.
was fun :3
Hey! Love the aesthetic of this and I really want to play through this game but I can't get past the portion with the floppy disks. There's one on a platform that I just can't reach. Any advice?
It's a bit tricky, I think your speed might be faster moving diagonally if that helps?
I can try that! Thank you.
Still not able to get it, might be an issue with me tbh lol.
Hm, if I find the time, I might make that a bit easier. You're starting from the top of those pillars right?
Yeah I am, I went diagonally like you said. Sometimes when I miss I get stuck between pillars and then have to start over. If you get the time that would be great! I want to progress the story since I love the aesthetic you have going on.
MAN, MY GOD, as they say in my country, I was looking for copper and found GOLD, THIS GAME IS FUCKING AWESOME!!! GOD, IT'S SHORT BUT SO... ATMOSPHERIC, I REALLY LOVE THE WEBCORE AESTHETICS AND THIS GAME, IT'S MY PARADISE, YOU KNOW??? GOD, DON'T SPARE HALF AN HOUR OF YOUR LIFE AND PLAY IT, IT'S WORTH IT!!!
This is a really well-realized virtual world of an old-school desktop. I thoroughly enjoyed walking around funky graphics and thinking of what my old desktops would look like in this style, what obstacles there would be to overcome. Ignoring some of the simple mechanics brought on by understandable limitations, this is a cool little project!
I loved the concept of the game, it really has a unique aesthetics and style. However I couldn't figure it out how to pass past the Desktop, I tried clicking and double clicking on every Icon and even on the character but couldn't figure out what to do.
I'd love to know how to continue playing, thanks!
Sorry, I should have specified the controls in the description: "E" is interact
I'll try to make something that tells you in-game when I post the Linux/Mac builds
EDIT: In-game controls screen is up along with music, Linux/Mac Builds, and more sound FX!
