Interesting entry. I love the responsive character controls, whenever I died I knew it was my fault. Music was kind of catchy and went well with the gameplay. Ending was a letdown as you could just walk pass him but I love how it was Clippy. Graphics were alright, but the player looked really good (wish he had a jump animation though!). The theme isn't really incorporated into the gameplay unfortunately, just the story. There is a sense of purpose (reason you are here) in this game straight away which is great! Solid entry, good job.

Very funny game! I especially love how Despacito is just out of reach. but it seems to run at an extremely low frame rate for me for some reason. I thought the character was just slow but he seemed to sometimes speed up when in certain rooms. It bothered me how the text was in front of the player. It would have been fun to explore and play if it was running smoothly. The art is really well done (The player could have used some sort of jumping animation though seemed a bit strange) and the music was good albeit a little repetitive.

Good job making a platformer. I guess one thing you could change next time was that when I got to clippy I wasn't able to go back, and there wasn't any clear indication that it was the end of the game.

Nice graphics and platforming,
I enjoyed playing it.
Well done.
Suggestion: fill the empty folders with something, even jokes that aren't interactive like the Despacito one.

Hmm I think the movement is a bit too floaty, you only do this to give the impression of outer space. Other than that, I think the game was fun with some element of puzzle. I think the goal was not made very clear, I didn't know what I need to do. It will only get better though, good job on finishing the game!

Thank you for sharing your game with me. I tried to played it on my stream tonight at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames, but I couldn't get it to display and even when I closed it the music kept playing. I eventually had to mute the source since I couldn't restart my computer during a stream.

I like the idea of the universe and explore the content of the computer of somebody else, travel to file. The pixel is simple but neat. It would be great to have more things to see in the files, things that could allow us to know more stuff about the computer owner. Also I don't know why but the character was weirdly slow, then later in the game he was fastest and i can feel it was the normal speed, then he become slow again.

Where is his porn folder ?
Realy cool concept, cool visual and music too :)
Sometimes, the player slowed down for no reason, like the game had performance issues, and on the next level, he got his speed agains.
Pressing escape close the game windows, but not the game, i still have the music. I needed to kill it on the task manager.

As a plaformig experiance is great! The concept is interesting too. Although the platforming at times is slighlty challenging, there was a lack of challenge overall. For example, no enemies to avoids or a "firewall".

Why despacito why??
Really fun game! There is a strange bug if you end the game by pressing escape the music doesn't stop. So after I've beaten the game and pressed escape the game window was gone and i needed to search for it in the task manager.
Besides that: very creative entry, enjoyed it quite much.
