Privilege Escalation by FlashRocks

[raw]
made by FlashRocks for LD30 (JAM)
Privilege Escalation is less a game, and more an... "experience". In it, you are whitehat, an (obviously white hat) hacker. It seems that even in the afterlife, people do not understand that your line of work is completely legal. So, you have been thrown in hell.

However, you have noticed that the afterlife uses a Unix-like shell to control the various aspects of the area. Maybe you can use that to your advantage, and spend eternity with the clouds and nyan cat...

WARNING: Please do not exit fullscreen mode, else everything may break!

Team:
FlashRocks (a.k.a: bobbybee): programming
Matthew Petry (a.k.a: fire219): art, music

Controls:
Standard WASD/arrow keys apply. Some scenes do not allow up/down movement. In the terminal scene, you need to click the input box to type commands, and in some browsers, it may be necessary to also click the enter box.

Common pitfalls:
In the control room, the only way out is through the computer. You need to get the passcode through the computer as well. You cannot teleport to heaven from the computer. Once you reach heaven, the game is over.

You can potentially right-click and click fullscreen, but still.

Loved the hacking experience, I would add a root access. :)

It's funny, and I like the depiction of hackers as cholesterol addled dorks with ugly fedoras. But I just didn't find it enjoyable as a game.

Hi there. Liked the idea. Found the computer part slightly frustrating, couldn't ftp down metasploit...

That was fun. :) Did I finish the game when entering heaven? Why is there another computer there? Can I do anything else?
