Yes microcorruption was a lot of fun and the last part of this post reminds me very much of the last level.

The nice thing about microcorruption was how you didn't need much more than familiarity with assembly and C (and language of choice in the end game). This interview challenge on the other hand... I wouldn't even know where to start.

Thanks! It's worth saying here: Hans, Nicholas, Daniel, Andy and I wrote Microcorruption in order to be the basis of job interviews. :)
