Don't Let Me Down (itch) Mac OS

  1. It wont let me download! It says downloading then installing then back to install! And its not in my computer files I checked. I can't play on the browser because it wont let me dump the mop or anything.
  2. GNU Artanis, forget Hurd, get Guix. Also, on HTML/CSS/JS, they are still 20 years behind the Pascal IDE from Borland or Lazarus, and don't let me talk on NPM and dependencies. On speed and features, QT5 slaps JS so hard that trying to get something as performant it's a ridiculous claiming.
  3. All the support and humour I've seen from Itch users like you is inspiring me to really dive into this project. Don't hesitate to reach out and ask questions and give feedback! Make sure you downloaded the Mac OS version of the game! (Some people have downloaded the Windows dev-build version by accident) It should be a.zip file called 'BBE.

I want to see that. That makes me feel like they are real people and I am in the story.-This is overall really really really good. If I remember anything that I forgot to say here, I will fix it. I want to help you guys. Please if there is anything I can do, just contact me:mertali.ozfidan@gmail.com.

You're the newest agent at S.M.A.R.T, an organization dedicated to tracking down and preventing cybercrime across the net. Just as you're getting started, you discover that a mysterious hacker is trying to take down the entire web with something called Nightfall! And before you know it, all other S.M.A.R.T agents have been disconnected, and it's up to you to stop the hacker.

Regain control of the web by fighting databattles against the corrupted security software the Nightfall hacker has installed in nodes around the web. To fight a databattle, you'll upload special programs to engage the node's security programs in strategic turn-based combat. Beat the security in one node, and you'll gain access to even more nodes it's connected to. As you advance through the net, you'll get access to faster and stronger programs with special abilities.

The Nightfall Incident is a remake of a 2002 shockwave game of a similar name. It is in no way affiliated with The Lego Group and is an unofficial fan product.

I've just completed the full game, and I gotta say.. it brings back memories. I remember the original: at the spot where it says 'connection log' in the remake during the databattle screen, in the original instead it displays the player's chosen spybot.

Anyway, I do have a question and suggestion: In the original, I recall that I was able to replay cleared nodes to gather even more 'credits' to purchase databattle software, but in the remake each node's credits can only be acquired once. I understand this is to give it some difficulty, but why not employ both methods and allow the players to choose between 'original' difficulty, which allows players to replay nodes to acquire more credits and software, and 'Hard' difficulty, which each node's victory and item credits can only be acquired once only, which forces the player to choose wisely which software to purchase depending on their strategy.

Meanwhile, I also noticed some typos in the game's character chat text. I think that needs some reviewing too.

All stages are cleared.

But I can't play 2nd level area located below.

Update

What should I do next? or this is a bug?

65 days ago

You can play the original if you use the Flash/Shockwave/ActionScript/etc. preservation project: Flastpoint. (yes it's free)

I would encourage the developer of this to add to the remake (if you haven't), so that it has more reason for people to support!

The browser version works perfectly on mobile, it would be really nice if the paid version was also available in browser. (If anyone else is reading this and wants a work around, on ios you can install koder, download the game, open the files app, copy the folder “nightfall-incident” to Koder/Local, open koder, then navigate to and open “index.html”. I think this process should work for most html games)

awesome job @patrickhpan! after beating the game fairly i did some poking around in the source code and for anyone interested i started writing some hacks (only one so far), because procrastination. here's a github repo if you want to check it out: https://github.com/tsangryan/nightfall-hacks

if the creator takes offense and wants me to take this down, i will, just let me know!

again, awesome job with this!

and don't cheat on your first playthrough guys, it's a bad look

for those who wanted farming, i added a script that allows you to recollect credits (you need to reload the page every time though)

Thank you so much for letting me enjoy this game again! I thought I would never be able to after SWF was discontinued. I am looking forward to the sequel.

there's an entire thread on rockraiders united on how to get it to work with the original stuff for free!


this is pretty cool tho would like to see an original game with these mechanics @dev im eagerly waiting ;3

265 days ago(+3)

While I also am enjoying the game quite a bit, sometimes when I complete a level it doesn't unlock the neighboring levels which has softlocked two different save files on two different levels. Not being able to progress at all is super disappointing.

Hi! Sorry for the late response. I'm a full-time student in a non-CS field, so staying on top of programming stuff is difficult.

I can't say that I've encountered this bug myself in my two playthroughs. Could you let me know what browser + OS you're using, or if you've noticed that it happens often on a specific level?

I have a couple of inklings about what might be happening behind the scenes, and I have a pretty good idea of what I can do to put in a fix sometime in the next couple of weeks once school is over for the year. Will comment again then, and thanks for your patience!

I've noticed similar errors. 'Menu' not opening, missing some of the dialogue between missions. Right now, I'm unable to access level 2, even after completing the level for the access codes. It almost seems like some of the game elements aren't loaded into the program. I downloaded everything and followed the instructions to access 'index.html', which opens the program in browser, but it's like part of the game wasn't downloaded. Not sure what the issue might be.

147 days ago

Have you fully unzipped the folder or are you playing from within the zip? I know on Windows it’s possible to open an html file without unzipping, which can lead to missing assets.

146 days ago

I'm on Mac. The download is automatically unzipped, and I've checked the other files to confirm there are no remaining compressed files. Is there a particular browser that works best?

146 days ago

I developed and tested on a Mac as well on both Safari and Chrome and I might've on Firefox too. Which browser are you on? I've noticed some weird stuff going on in other sites with Big Sur Safari so Chrome might be a better bet for now.

I had the same problem with 'Cellular Automata Memory Tower Security Level 1' on Chrome on Windows. Second save file hasn't had the same problem (yet?)

Hi! Bought and am enjoying the game greatly, but there's a bug: Bonus credits picked up during a level aren't added to your balance afterwards.
Edit: Actually it's pretty bad. I was kind of reliant on repeating levels to farm credits so I could try out all the programs and now I don't know what to do with myself

253 days ago

Yeah, I'm getting the same bug in with this, that's got real potential to hamstring the player later on in the game.

Hi! Sorry for the late response. I'm a full-time student in a non-CS field, so staying on top of programming stuff is difficult.

My recollection of the game was that picking up previously collected credits did not award you the credits again. That being said, I could very well be wrong, and regardless I do think it's better from a design perspective to allow farming credits.

I should have some time in the next couple of weeks to remove the system I put in to disable farming. Will comment again then!

Hi Patrick, thanks for the game and being able to relive some nostalgia!

Farming previous missions was definitely a feature in the original game, and without following a strategy guide it is completely necessary for experimenting.

A couple notes since you said you are on mac: I've run this in firefox on both linux and windows with no functional issues (other than the farming).

We look forward to the update :)

130 days ago

Hi Patrick, really appreciate the reprogramming effort to bring this game back to life!
As others have noted, farming was present in the original, and basically becomes essential in mid-late game. Not to pester you but do you have any guesses as to when you might disable the system that prevents farming? Thanks again!

Bought the game a few days ago and am still having a blast with it.

Thank you for reviving a childhood favorite!

Any chance you'd consider doing the same with the Junkbot games in the future?

299 days ago(+1)

Thanks for the support! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm unfortunately not familiar with the Junkbot games, but hopefully this encourages someone to remake them!

I downloaded the game without any issues, but I'm running into a problem that I'm not having in the demo, where I can't target enemy programs with my attacks. Does anyone know a way to fix this?

304 days ago

Hey! Sorry to hear that. What OS and browser are you using? I've tested on Windows/Edge, Windows/Chrome, Mac/Safari, and Mac/Chrome, as well as iOS.

304 days ago(1 edit)

I'm running Windows 10, and I use google chrome but the game automatically opens in Microsoft Edge (internet explorer). I'm going to try to see if I can get it to open in Chrome and see if that helps.

EDIT: Opening the game in Chrome worked. I don't know why I didn't try that in the first place. But thank you for the quick response!

304 days ago

I'm glad it works! I occasionally dual boot Windows for gaming and definitely recall testing this on Edge at some point, but I might've broken something after that. I'll give it another try soon, but good to know that Chrome works!

304 days ago

On second thought, I just remembered that I tested on the new version of Edge that's Chromium based, so the same internals as Chrome. I'll get to testing on the old Edge the next time I want to play some Halo..

This is awesome. I notice you changed something that I now recognize was probably a bug. In the original, one could grab a credit and then Undo the action, keeping the credits but not wasting the movement squares. Here, the Undo also undoes the credit collection.

305 days ago(+1)

Hi! Thanks for the kind words. It's indeed a bug that you could Undo and keep the credits you collected, so this remake prevents that behavior. I also fixed a bug where you could use Bit-Man to 'zero' your own programs, preventing them from being attacked.

304 days ago(+1)

I was not aware of the bug to use Bit-Man to zero a program. Thanks again for this blast from the past.

Download isn't working for my Samsung Galaxy S9+. In my files, I can find the index.html, but it does not work through Chrome, HTML Viewer, or Samsung Internet. I can still use the above 'Run Game' button in the browser to access the demo, but would like to see something more for my purchase. Thanks

305 days ago

Hi! I think we've been in touch via email, but it may be necessary to extract the .zip (instead of opening index.html inside the .zip). In the meantime, I've marked the download as for Windows / Linux / Mac (no Android) for the time being. Let's be in touch via email to figure this out!

305 days ago(+1)

Got it going on my Chromebook and it is great so far. Thank you for your help and for bringing this game back from the dead! Looking forward to your proposed sequel!

306 days ago

You've taken a different approach from me. While it's good to reinvent things sometimes, I like that this version has the same music, UI and feel as the original game, and that I can play it on a modern browser. Out of interest, have you had, or do you expect, any legal trouble from Lego?

Hey! I've just seen your work on your profile, and it's also interesting to see your take on the UI/feel. The trademark for the original game was cancelled in 2010 and I make sure not to even mention it (or Lego), and I've been in touch with the original developers of the game, so I don't anticipate any legal troubles! Best wishes with your version.

it looks like a great game, at least for me only i can't get it to work correctly on my pc. He is installed, he starts up but the green surrounding is not around the bin so i can only pick up 2 pieces of paper and i can't put them in the bin so i can't get any further. I feal really bumped about it, there are a lot of people i want to show it because it really explains DID the way it is, whitout the normal drama. Please help me!

Dear Inouschka, I will try to fix the bug you are experiencing. Unfortunately as a student I don't have much time at this current moment, but I promise it will be fixed as soon as possible. Thank you so much for your interest <3 !!

Dear Levi, Thank you very much! Take all the time you need, i'm already very thankfull that you made this game.

Don't Let Me Down (itch) Mac Os Version

Thank you so much for making this, you don't know how much it made us smile, I feel like this is a game all of us can play to calm down so that's another plus. It's so hard to find a game about DID that explains it so well and to have this is well, it's great so thank you, really.

Thank you for playing! We really tried to make it feel accurate and feel right, so this is a huge compliment. Thank you again. <3

Great game! I would say more but wouldn't want to spoil anything if someone wants to play this on their own. But hope you enjoy this video of the game.

Thank you so much for the playthrough and review. Glad you like it! <3
