Would be cool if you could drag the windows around :D (try https://anseki.github.io/plain-draggable/ it’s awesome) and some windows sounds / music. Love the aesthetics, win95/98 ftw

Perhaps I enjoy these clickers.

And perhaps I enjoy Win95/98 aesthetics too much.

One or the other, all I can say is that this might well be one of the most memorable games of this year's GitHub GameOff.

A fun twist on the clicker genre, very well done!

I was able to return to work. Not sure if there is even more after that point, but this was definitely a unique clicker with a bunch of good and fun references thrown in there. I would have loved some audio and a reminder that, as others have mentioned, defragging rows first is what you should be doing. Cool little game that is definitely one of the more unique game jam games I've ever played.

Fun, somewhat of a more indepth clicker. My only complaint is it took me a while realise I had to order the memory across the top first, I remember the old MS defragger graphs that were vertical left to right! Loved the XKCD reference.

Thanks for the feedback, will look into the memory ordering. Glad you enjoyed the game and found the XKCD reference :)

What a game of whack a mole. Takes me back to those days when CD-ROM videos were cutting edge marvels.

As a fellow windows 98 enjoyer, I adore the style. It reminds me a bit of Progressbar95 in that way, there really need to be more retro pc inspired games. Good job!
