CRAWLSCAPE
Feel like you have mad hacking skillz!
Break in!
Crawl the nodes!
Grab the l00t!
Escape the n3tw0rk!
. . .
Do it again!
++++
Your goal is to find enough exploits (#) to complete your hack and get out with the loot ($) you have found.
++++
WSAD or arrow keys to move. That's it, no more buttons for you. You can also use a gamepad. Or the mouse.

Created relatively suddenly when one day I got frustrated by just how much better hacking minigames could be. At it's core the game is a minimalistic dungeon crawler that wants you to think on your foot and make split second decisions.

Quality of life
- You can reset the tutorials in the options menu if you missed something.
- You can turn off the CRT monitor effect and the console messages in the options menu if you find them too distracting.

Have fun!

Android Version! Android Version!
This is a game any programmer would adore!!!!!!!!
Thanks! :)
What about an android version?
Eventually, maybe :)
amazing sounds effects and art style ! But I find it hard to identify each purpose of the cases though I did the tutorial
Thanks! Do you remember which ones were hard to identify? There are 2 that appear in later levels that aren't covered by the tutorial for brevity.
Love the theme and aesthetic but just can't get into the gameplay
Yeah, same here, although I only played once ;-) But I usually get a feel for things. It looks beautiful and the crispy sounds work a charm. But, somehow, it goes to fast and is too cryptic. Although, arguably, after some practice you might recognize stuff faster.
But, all in all, it's a really well executed and original take on the genre!
I'm working on a new tutorial that's a lot more direct, just a straight line showcasing one new gameplay element at a time.
That would definitely help and maybe add some tutorial assignments so you can get used to all the mechanics. For instance on how to avoid an enemy in combination with those one-way direction flipping nodes.
What did you find off-putting? too fast, too difficult, something else?
I got stuck two separate times, the area would generate with no valid places to move to after descending
Thanks! Did it happen in the browser or in one of the downloadables?
Browser
TY!
I'm having the same problem, but on the downloaded ver.
