Tinysoft 2 by wurstknifte

[raw]
made by wurstknifte for LD25 (JAM)
Move using [W/A/S/D]
Activate thing using [SPACE]

This is a sequel to my Ludum Dare 23 entry, "Tinysoft".
Like all my games, this one is quite short during lack of time. But unlike all my other games, this one is completed.

You play as a nameless scientist(who appeared in the first part as an unimportant NPC) who blames himself for a lab accident in which several scientists died.

If you find bugs, you can keep them.

Interesting. The mood and theme were well done, but beyond the monologues it's basically a glorified fetch quest. Maybe some more difficult puzzles would help.

hmm, not sure what I should type on the monitor in the slime room? any clues? Really cool take on the theme; guilt villain.

Very slow and buggy... I went through a door and wound up stuck outside the next map.

A great game, full of little subtle jokes (as far as I can tell, it's all about Bill Gates and Microsoft).
Just a little tip for the rest of you, type HELP into the console.

Feels a bit more like a 48hr entry than a jam entry in terms of content. I like the atmosphere and theme you create in the game using text and visuals.

Nice game, but i don't think he is the real villain.. It was just an accident.

Good start! I was really missing music though. That would complete the mood. I hope you are going to finish this story!

The command line bit was kinda neat but I can see why people were confused.

I feel like this needed faster/controllable text and smoother movement controls to feel responsive enough to not frustrate the player.

The intense guilt-tripping in the dialog just made me feel sad, not villainous.

Keep making games :)!

This game was just lacking something for me. The monologues and scripted sequences made it really hard to enjoy. The console with little to no explanation killed it for me.
