It plays with the theme well, and is very fun from an in-world perspective.\n\nI feel my main issue with this game stems from the repetitive typing of the same hacks. The first time or two I typed something new it was fun, but it becomes tedious rather quickly to nearly pause the game every time I encounter a new enemy. Perhaps once you complete a level, you get the ability to quickly perform that hack without typing it again?","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":1202893,"author_name":"Tobius","author_uid":"tobius","epoch":1776827183,"text":"@hammy275 thanks for the feedback! I agree, the repetition gets old, which is why we added the autocomplete, but maybe that wasn\u2019t explained well. We can add a better explanation\/cue for that.\n\nOtherwise, I\u2019m thinking maybe it would be cool to give the player an upgrade that allows them to always broadcast a particular signal? That way you could always have one active, or adjust it to suit your needs.\n\nWe will think on how to make it less tedious!
