ATM, I'm not sure if there is a build error for HTML5, but I couldn't get anything to appear in the task list!

I wish that new tasks could appear, but at least you have cool looking game! The graphics are really great.

@nick-saulnier @benk86 Thanks for playing guys! Unfortunately I was extremely tired when I went to sleep and I had left an old build on itch. It has been updated since and it's working :slight_smile:. Would appreciate it if you'd give it one more go! There was some issue with videos playing inside WebGL, but that's sorted out.

All right, now it's cooler than before! I like music and these few sound effects, but I'm missing some basic white noise that old computers had. :D

@benk86 You're right! I'll try to add that at some point. I even forgot about the boot sound of old systems... Thank you for playing!

The art and the music were great. It would be nice if there were a few more tasks to do.

I love the variety in tasks! I almost wish the PONG was against an AI instead of the arrow keys, ha! The visuals are fantastic, and I like how you can turn off the lamp, even if it has no bearings on the gamepaly. Really cool game.

you start the game wwaaaaaaaaaaaaay to close to the screen. i was about to quit when by accident moved the mouse wheel and got zoomed out of the screen a saw everything. the rest works tight. properprocastination. but that first bit can get ppl to not play it in the first place

I love the lighting you got coming in from the side, with the ability to toggle it. More such distraction fidgets like opening window blinds, cleaning your keyboard or drinking a sip would have been really cool to add I think. I think playing the game twice causes... buying a mouse on amazon to turn on the lights, which is a dystopian scenario that works eerily well with this ambience.

I had quite a nice time with this! But I have two nitpicks I find worth bringing up, so I hope you'll indulge me. First, I think even if it was dark all day it would've been nice if the timer in the corner actually advanced. That'd help the procrastination mood even further I think! Second, using FTL material might be a little iffy for the PONG background. I think simple black would be more authentic(, as well as less of a copyright-hassle)!

This was a pretty cool experience. It's got the right ambiance, the music loop is great and doesn't get old, the video is the best video I've seen all day. I really do like the interface and the pixel graphics in the environment. I would love to see this expanded for a longer experience. Well done!

Thank you all for the feedback and for playing the game! Means a lot.

@abdonatioera I've had more planned but time was short. Added some more now if you care to try.
@100th-coin Pong now has "AI"
@confidant17 Sorry about that, it's been fixed. Have another go if you'd like.
@enjl Your feedback is noted and I've made a few changes. Removed the FTL texture and the timer now advances, as it was bugged :smiley: Good ideas!
@conduit-games I added a few more tasks, but not too many.

Funny game! I manged to complete everything, but i nearly gave up on "What is the book talking about?". The input is case-sensitive! It took me some time for me figure that out.

What an delightful game/experience! I really loved it. I actually really like that it's not too long. There was still plenty to play around with.

The graphics was awesome, I played around for far too long with that light switch :grin:
I also liked all the funny little details in the os, like the computer specs.

Nice idea, music, graphics and of cours videos :D Pong is a bit glitchy- ball can slow dramatically

Love the aesthetic and sound. Wasn't quite sure what to do after completing the tasks, but maybe that's the point?

I wanted to give this game a review yesterday but... decided to do it later

Really funny little game. Looks gorgeous! SFX with music are also spot on! So many funny little details and interactive elements. The procrastinator facts are just hilarious. Overall a very solid job!

I was streaming and recording my playthrough of your game, here's a link in case you'd like to see it https://youtu.be/xAmitsB_F9k

@caudatecoder I see what you did there :smirk:. Thank you for playing and for streaming!

Realized by watching the video that I have to change some small things, like stopping players from clicking the tick boxes. Doesn't mark the task as done, but you might think it is. So thank you, it was great to see someone actually playing the game, got a lot out of it!

Really liked the look of the game - the lighting from the lamp was a really nice touch. Can definitely see a lot of potential for extra tasks. Nice work!

I really like the visual style & the music! I can definitely see playing this more if it had more tasks / stuff to do. Really nice work!
