I got this game on summer sale 2017, cost me a bit under 60 cents (euro)
Got back to the game library, opened up the game window, and it is only 28 MB!
I thought hey, whatever, I'll try it.
I don't usualy enjoy text based games, but this one is something special, don't know if it is because of the theme and the topic of "hacking" or what exactly, but I got a good 10 hours of game in just a week of owning it. (which by my standards is a lot). Also just to clarify, by saying text based I mean that there are no real sprites or characters to control, there is of course a GUI and it is a fine one, even better when you figure out it is customizable with themes you can either create yourself of find on the web.
I enjoy the trial and error aproach, the game does not tell you everything you should know to become the number 1 uplink agent.
The ingame tutorial is good enough to get you started, but soon enough you'll find yourself looking at a problem which was never mentioned in it, and you're then either gonna try and figure it out yourself, or take the easy route and look up some tutorials online.
Anyway, I give this game a 5 star rating because it did manage what many other games didn't, keep me playing.
