Hackception by Gemberkoekje
So I put a computer in your computer, so you can hack while you hack. While you hack.
Arrow keys to move, letters to.. well, type.
Quick postmortem:
I love the way my game looks. It may be a bit vain to say that of my own game, but I really do.
Unfortunately, I probably ended up tinkering with the looks a bit too much, and there's admittedly less of a game here than I wanted. It's finishable, so it's not purely a techdemo, but don't expect a challenge ;)
Post-compo I'd really love to do some harder levels, more features etcetera, while keeping the lovely unique look I made.
So, I hope you enjoy it! There's even a level editor, so you can make your own levels with a bit harder content as well, but without features like enemies or really linking terminals, it's less of a challenge and more of a pain. Oh well ;)
Unfortunately, cause I really wanted to work with pixels, this game is windows only. I know this can be a pain for some of you, so sorry in advance! I'll add a little video later this week for you guys!

@davesoft Sorry for that. Do you have any more information, because unfortunately I cannot fix something I cannot reproduce!
The game also crashed on me during my playthrough, by the way. I was in the blue-looking part, and presumably I typed the exit command where I wasn't supposed to.
Still, great job!
I've also had a report from a friend saying the same bug happened to him, I'll go ahead and see whether I can reproduce it tonight.
Similar to both scan lines http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=2075 and flying blind http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=23945. I recommend you try at least scan lines.
Really dug it, good work. :)
Besides from that a great game and very nice interpretation of the theme!
rendering system is pretty cool, i like the scan line effects
entering the first terminal felt really cool
rendering and game feels laggy, like you might be doing something wrong on the low level rendering.
let users press ~ to toggle the terminal on and off. and have it slide down like the half life debug console
needs to be more commands available, like as you progress you discover new commands by finding them in the sub-terminals
I won!
when you type exit from the highest level it should quit the game
i didn't hear any sound or music
cool concept, you should keep working on it!
