The demo is also available on itch.io, Game Jolt, Indie DB.
Let’s make a new point-and-click classic! Justin Wack and the Big Time Hack is an adventure about time traveling, love, and scary-looking robots… The small but passionate team are striving to create something new while still maintaining the cozy adorable feelings we all remember from playing the classics back in the day!
We’re going for the classic point-and-click experience – click where you want the player to move, switch to another player when you get stuck on a puzzle, mess around with the inventory to combine stuff. We use an interaction system where menus are only used in cases where more than one action is applicable (sounds weird but plays beautifully).
Full voice acting in English, but the plan is also to translate all texts to the most requested languages for this genre (we heard that people in Germany really wants to read stuff im Deutsch).
We will start with Steam (PC & Mac), but we’re also really hoping for Nintendo Switch. Android and iOS would be nice as well – but we aren’t making any promises (yet).

We are very much prepared for the development of this game to be the usual tug of war between funds and time. And we’re ready to tug away!
At the time of writing, the Steam page says “Sometime 2020”? Will we be able to deliver in time? Hopefully! Will we be able to deliver an awesome game? We’re confident about this and feel that the demo goes a long way of proving our commitment. Now we just want to do the rest :)
With your help we hope to push one heck of a good game over the finishing line – one that we couldn’t deliver without you!
