Idle Unlock
About
This game was made for the Game Creation Club Mini Jam which lasted around a week with the theme Unlock!
Idle Unlock is an idle game where instead of producing money, you hire hackers to help you un-encrypt your computer password!
Controls and Tips
Mouse/Touchscreen to tap buttons
Keyboard (Optional) for writing numbers into text boxes
Use the + and - signs to move your hackers around and increase speed and multiplier. Speed caps out at 20 times a second, whereas multiplier scales to infinity, with diminish returns after a certain point.
Some bars start locked, allocate hackers to them so they can work on unlocking them, the final purple bar unlocks your computer!

Actial multiplier limit is 10B. At least I was not been able to buy beyond that.
Stops readimg large input numbers entered by hand
how to beat this in 1 min
1. set the buy amount to -1 billion
2. spam press the subtract button on the purple bar
3. wait
4. u win lol
Hacking the game about hacking.
Bug report:
1.the "Max" button would set the asign amount to negitive number if the total/idel hacker amount is over 2147483648. Same for the % button if the final number would overflow.
2. If you set the buy amount to negitive number, you can use the - signs to asign hacker to any bar even if you don't have the number of idle hacker.
Hi, thanks for the bug report!
1. I think most of the issues stem from the fact that the input box can only store integers so finding a fix for that should solve most problems.
2. That bug is really funny because you can set it to a negative number, then subtract that mourn from a bar which then adds to it. So you can just add 1 billion to the last bar from the beginning. Great bug but definitely something I'm gonna patch lol.
Thanks for playing!
Issue with using MAX Hackers past 100 Billion. It screws up purple bar. Otherwise; good game. Finishes playthroughs in about 18 minutes or less.
Hey, thanks for playing! I wanted to keep it pretty short for a jam game so I'm glad it finished I under 20. As for the MAX button, it's definitely bugged after a certain point, I'm still figuring out how to fix it lol. Glad you had fun!
The quick-and-dirty fix is to switch all your 32bit numbers to 64 bit numbers (assuming your programming language supports it).
I couldn't finish the game because of the overflow error :(
Like aguydude said you can use 64 bits (long and ulong types) if you're using integers, that will get you a long way (har har). Alternatively you can use float, up to 10^38, or double, up to 10^308.
Pretty simple game but still fun for its duration. Keep it up!
Hi, thanks for playing! Sorry you couldn't finish lol, I'll put out a patch in a day or two for those issues. Thanks for the support!
