WEB DIVER by mshrmgirl

WEB DIVER
Become a true WEB DIVER and dive to the very bottom of the Ultraweb.
Hack the jammers of the EVIL ULTRACORPORATION to give the GOOD GUYS a chance to win.
Beware – the moneybags have unleashed a REAL T-REX on guard.
Controls:
Before you can control the camera, sound, movement, or hacking, you need to increase the SIGNAL. You'll find all the control buttons on the interface screen. Don't worry, there's a tutorial in the game, and I'll help you out. Listen to my advice.

Enjoy the aesthetics of webcore
The internet of the 2000s is back, with hand-drawn textures
T-Rex behavior based on real dinosaurs
We cloned and bred real dinosaurs to teach our T-Rex to survive and hunt you.
Experience real leveling up
Finally, leveling up that directly impacts gameplay. No leveling up just for the sake of leveling up, all leveling up will be useful in the game.
Complex storyline, lore, and a twist at the end.

Great visuals and content!
Side note: i have an old laptop with a touchscreen, and that was quite a good fit! unfortunately, the camera stick would move away because under the hood it thinks that me pressing somewhere else on the screen is the mouse teleporting. multitouch also didnt work, but that might be my computer's fault.
what i'm saying is, fix those two and release this on mobile!
Controls are tough but I think that's part of what makes it so unique. Having different layers of visual and audio based on signal strength was a good call. The nature of the game made me not put the points in sound very often so I feel like I missed out on some levels of the vibes, but even the low level audio is a vibe in itself.
This is great and something to be proud of!
Fantastic work, team!
Not a lot of people know but this entire game was made in pure CSS , no javascript .
Loved the esthetic. Also fuck that T-Rex, it must have gotten me like 12 times !
I really enjoyed running around the mazes while being chased by a dinosaur with limited movement options. But after a while I learned how to avoid the enemy completely and was mostly limited by very slow camera rotation even at 3 power.
The red and glitchy theme with dark places. And that earth button. I clicked on it and all new messages became Russian. Creepy. :(
An interesting game tho. It looks no like any other games here. :D
A gem! I never read tutorials, so it was extra fun figuring things out!
You did a 5/5 fever dream!
Nice game, loved it
On one hand, I like the idea of mouse-only controls, on the other, it feels a bit uncomfortable, though I understand the intention behind it.
I also felt there was a lack of narrative at the beginning to establish the goal.
the only thing, as other commentators mentioned earlier, it would be great to add WASD walking, probably, that would be more convenient.
great submission! i like the little reference to Neko Arc :p
The art and sounds are really cool — thanks for the game!
But the atmosphere and mood this game created was absoulte top notch!
