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

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! :)

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.

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

The music is nice, but the game feels a bit buggy. There were several times when I got stuck and couldn't continue playing. It's quite an innovative game, though!

Genius idea! The theme is great, and the ways you kept all the game mechanics on theme are so smart (turning off airplane mode to start the round!!!). The game is way too hard though, I expected the first round to be kind of slow and then everything came all at once. Also the game does not render properly on my 16:10 display but that's understandable. Overall great job!

Honestly fun game with a funny theme. I kinda wish it wasn't delete key and there was like a recycling bin or even the sound when you trash something. The tutorial was honestly pretty well made and the blue screen is funny as hell. 

Submitted

I would never have thought of that.

Submitted

This was really fun! :) Thanks

Submitted

Really liked the idea! this game is simple but still very funny! congrats!

Loved the idea of having tutorial and game as users on login screen. Overall very well made game.

Submitted

Very cool concept. When playing in full screen and you do the virus scan, and it blue screens - I got that half a second WTF reaction. So you got me there. Nicely executed, and the tutorial seems decent as well.

Submitted

Very fun, quite original, although I'm not convinced by the theme, I really liked the game

Submitted

This is really fun and a cool concept. Well done.

Submitted

I thought my pc crashed for a second then remembered I was playing this on my mac. +1 for immersion. Great concept and game, well done!

Developer

in hindsight, i do realise i could have combined the two upgrade buttons. oh well :\

Submitted

What a funny idea! I loved how you implemented gimmicks of Windows into a game like this. But I have to say that I was kinda confused with the prices I thought that I could buy another AV after a few rounds but it seems that I can't gain any resources.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Will look into this kind of thing in the future,

Submitted

The Tutorial is a bit broken couldnt click the buttons. But the game is inovative and overall i like it.
