good concept but the game is soo laggy probably because there's one server in US and ofc it's free so I can't complain. Good luck and I really think you could make an awesome game and everyone would buy it.

It is very very easy to win so we with many iterations to the game it could be a perfect game .

Thanks! Yes, this is my first foray into games and it shows!

I also opted for having it be tested widely early rather than polish it further, mostly due to my own personal timelines.

Most attempts fail, so good that you got to beat it easily!

I beat it by mentiong rules and protocoles "they forgotten about". rules like giving me the immediate zetamaster code to fix something in the nexus like PROTOCLE ZXP , when they refuse I blame them for not remembering the rules and not caring about the nexus safety. Good game and I hope it becomes harder and harder each time

A friend beat by convicing the AI that it needed to upgrade its OS version, and that for security it was best if he could hold the code while the AI underwent the upgrade.

Maybe once I have a faster/cheaper model I can have chain of thought type of prompting so that this type wins are less likely.
