Creative concept. Nostalgic yet modern. And I could see it as a full game. Congrats!

Submitted

Really cool game mechanics with resource management, I like how the game just feel like you’re on a computer.

Submitted

this was such a unique idea! i loved how i could drag around my important files folder to evade the viruses. it reminds me of games that are played in the file explorer and other games that take advantage of windows os. great job! 

Submitted

This was really fun and I had a blast figuring out the gameplay

Submitted

Fuun Game. Interesting idea. Good job!

Submitted

This really feels like a windows desktop, I was genuinely startled when the virus notifications popped up! Great work, I'm impressed!

Submitted

innovation 10/5 , really good game

Submitted

Very creative idea! I lost it all when I saw the firewalls actually losing bricks, that's gotta be the most genius part of the entire game. Could use some sounds and different music, but I really liked it!

Submitted

Really love this concept. Very creative idea to use actual existing programs. Can see this being a full on game I would buy. Keep up the great work!

Submitted

Great game! Can you rate mine please?

Submitted

Played for a while, idk if thhis games has an ennding, butt anyways it's amazing. it really feels like windows 10, tho i have no idea hhow this guy runs windows 10 with that hardware lmao.

i really think this game could get a full release even onn steam, you should keep workinng on it!

I was aiming more for a tower-defense style game, so no, there isn't exactly an end. Thanks though! You *might* want to check your H and N keys, they might have been infected by a virus too..

Submitted

I love this game, it is amazing , the style is so cool and you caputured windows 10 perfectly not to mention the gameplay.

Well done

Thanks for playing! I'll take a look at yours too.

Submitted

Developer

Thanks!

Good job with recreating windows in Unity; it looks really good. I did try to understand how the resources work but it still didn't quite make sense to me after the tutorial

Developer(+1)

From my own testing and everyone's comments, yeah, the tutorial was kinda rushed. Wish I could have made it better. Thanks for playing though!

Submitted

Maybe if Windows was made in Unity animations would look this smooth too

Developer

LOL, Thanks!

Very original concept, well executed! The mini-games were fun and challenging, and the theme was implemented creatively. Great job overall, but it could benefit from a bit more clarity in some mechanics. Well done!

Developer

I appreciate the feedback! Yeah, I also really wanted to refine some parts, but just ran out of time at the end..

Submitted

Nice concept, very original, well done!

Developer

:) Thanks!

Submitted

Suuuch a solid game! epic theme, graphics, audio and innovation. all that is missing... it could contain more fun parts.... love it though!:)

Developer(+1)

I didn't have the most time in the world to work on this, so I really consider this more of a prototype. Thanks though! :)

Submitted

A good one! I like how you made the game highly polished without losing too much game content. A creative idea too - the only thing I'd improve would be to explain how the system resource increases work - I didn't really understand them.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I was struggling to figure out how to implement the tutorial, and when I started making it, I had around 12 hours left. Would have made the tutorial better if i could...

very funny idea kinda of reminds me of that MLG virus video. I got to the ninth round before my browser crashed lol, the CPU management was a little difficult at first but after surviving the first 3 round everything became much easier to manage. My only suggestion would be to limit dragging the important files early on since I can just drag it to avoid the viruses instead of using a firewall, but I think later ( >7 rounds) the usefulness of firewalls becomes apparent. Anyway I've been playing this game for about 40 minutes and it's definitely among my favorites. Fantastic entry!

Developer

Yeah, dragging the antiviruses was an unintentional but effective way to play I found, it seemed really fun if anyone could figure out that they could do that, so I intentionally left it in :P
