Only feedback I have is that the gameplay is a little jarring in the beginning.
we thought about adding instructions but thought it could spoil the crappy OS breaking experience lol.
I was a little lost at first, I didn't really knew what to do... But the game gets really fun thanks to the promps and, somewhat competition with all the other users !
Really nice idea ! Good job~
@jeanne-rossat the game was kinda random, but there are lots of easter eggs in it rarely found
@r3d3r thanks, the drawing was a kinda last minute type of feature we were out of ideas lol
@davidbradbury you are right, we really need to add some instructions, did not know how to do it without spoiling too much the experience of trying everything randomnly
thanks for playing @aaron-smith @cptplastic
I will echo what some others are saying that it would be good to have some direction. Maybe some instructions could be integrated into the gameplay via the terminal somehow?
Great work! :grin:
Good job!
I love how the game looks!
I really liked your game :)
The music was funky and still keeps playing in my head. :musical_note:
Really like the tiny drawing applet! I literally drew nearly a hundred little doodles and put most of them in the trash. :paintbrush: :recycle:
Had a fun time trying to break/exploit it. Found out you can preserve the final stroke you draw by keeping it pressed when the timer runs out and continue from there.

Gotta ask if you're aware of [Windows93](https://windows93.net/) ?
I think it has somewhat of a similiar vibe going on!

This was a nice little experience and left me smiling!
thanks @dis0rder for the comments, and for sending us that one, I feel like someone told me about that win93 but never got to check it.
I think most "exploits" are in the game you have inside of this, we just tried to put the most random stuff in there, like, there are places you can go like an office and a house with characters, lamps you can break (the lamp breaking thing I don't know exactly how to do it for that part was @jean who improvised and kept creating new hidden mechanics in there)
the drawing board was a kinda last hour type of improv, it was a bit buggy so we almost gave up having it on the game. In the end we decidedd to leave it as it is and make the "bug" a part of the theme lol.
