I pressed literally every single key on my keyboard and clicked pretty much everywhere with my mouse. Also tried dragging stuff that I don't think is suppose to be dragged.
Do I even get to play the game in this game?

CyanArion responds:

Hey! I'm really sorry about that. For some reason it derped out when I tried exporting it. I have a link up on itch.io if you feel like giving it a second chance :) https://cyanarion.itch.io/cyber-battle

It's a pretty good game. It's fairly entertaining and the challenge is there, which is always nice. The controls were a bit uncomfortable at first, but I quickly got used to it.
Wish we had the option to change the volume, or at least turn the music/sfx off completely.

Change of environment would be nice though, the thing about simple graphics is that the environments get boring quickly unless there's some variation.

Stebdub responds:

Thanks TristanGray, I've added control options and I agree about environments. Volume can be adjusted on the titlescreen, but perhaps it should be able to be adjusted mid-game. More updates to come!

I've played a similar thing on newgrounds before... the difference was that once you minimalise the window / switch to a different tab the upgrade per second was still going, which made the game at least a small bit more tolerable. Plus it had both music and some small effort put into the interface. It was a shitty interface and the music was just bad, but I give them credit for trying.

Here, there's no upgrade once you switch the tab, there's no sound, except one extremely annoying sfx in my opinion, which only makes the pointless clicking worse (why can't I turn it off completely?), and the interface is just written text.

I imagine it's a good thing for practice for someone who's just getting into game development, or a programmers' homework as someone below mentioned.
But as a "game" on it's own... sorry. No.

SlimeEnergy responds:

Its practice published.

So I got to "294439.859999987" Bit...coins I would guess? 1308846.47146416 $, V.56, six helpers, and after seeing that I have to spend almost 5 000 000 on seventh helper, I decided to quit in order to maintain my sanity.
With that said...
When do you actually "win" the damn game? -_-

GumpBR responds:

I created the continuation of this game with less bugs and everything that you said here in the comments link: http://gamejolt.com/games/hackerlife/216748

I'll be honest, it's not very good.
But there's just something about this unsettling atmosphere and at times even sense of dredge I really like. So you managed to hit my soft spot with this one.

Keep it up, I'd love to see improved version with more detail.

JackAstral responds:

Sure - no probs! Thanks for giving it a go anyway :)

It could be a pretty good game if some more detail was added, like more ethically pleasing interface for example. Both music and sfx in this game quickly forced me to turn them off completely and play something else in the background.
The dialogue is not very well connected, as if you were trying to introduce too many ideas at the same time, making little to no sense at certain points (but not everywhere).

kingpirux responds:

thank's for the feedback! Im working on a new version more polished and even with real actors :D but this is going to take a long time
