What’s New
Version 1.15
ok there was a bunch of random stuff
all pretty minor but like, making it difficult or unplayable
like the touch controls not lining up with buttons on-screen on some phones, or it being upside down
also some genuinely minor stuff like sound not coming out of headphones? weird
i think it's all sorted now but let me know if there's still any problems
i'll sort out all the problems
i have two small kids and long-term illness and i'm running out of money
and i'm trying to focus on a new project
keeping my old stuff running because of unnecessary os updates that break things isn't my top priority
but i get around to it eventually
honestly i really prefer the model of you paying once and then you've bought the game
rather than the continuous IAP thing
but there does end up being a bunch of ongoing work that i'm kind of not paid for
and the cost of living has gone way up
anyway i started a patreon, so if you do want to support me in a continous way you can
https://www.patreon.com/smestorp
but if not that's chill, i'll come along with some new games in a bit it's just been tough
ok thanks for playing
Ratings and Reviews
Latest update..
Latest update Nov22 unfortunately reduces play area to a tiny box on my iPhone 6,this is a great game however
Less is more
This game was my first introduction to MB’s games and I didn’t get it when I first played it. I’ve since come back to it a year later and now really appreciate the game design.
This is the first review I’ve ever written because I was moved by the recent update note. It also inspired me to purchase MB’s other games to support a creative indie developer doing something unique.
My GotY
868-HACK game is minimalist and procedurally generated, with an online leader board and score chase and score streak elements which should give it longevity, and Brough's original statement of intent was to explore progression systems in games, which it does elegantly along three axes (more if you count the variety of unlock systems in play), with more than enough ways to kill yourself through greed. The programs you acquire in game in an exquisitely balanced risk/reward mechanic are obtusely described in two to four word phrases: but this isn't because the game is trying to be deliberately difficult. Instead, think of each program as an onion, which as you peel off the layers you find new and interesting ways of using it, either alone or especially in conjunction with other programs in the game.
