Loved the writing. Wasn't sure what to hit until it was too late and virus won. Great game idea!

Great idea. Like others I thought the countdown window was the virus until I read the comments here. Also I jumped off the top of the screen and disappeared - I guess it's a Mac thing :D Also disappointed about the lack of essay - as punishment please hand in your essay assignment of 5000 words on why essays are essential in game jam games by monday please. Good job.

I love the concept. Good execution. Love how you could interact with the programs in the computer. Opening the "antivirus" before locating the virus in folder definitely throw me off, at that point I assume the virus means the countdown window. Love the settings, you even have keys configs!

Overall, great game. One question though

Why didn't you write an essay for the game jam? >:(

Jumping on windows and moving them around to create your own platformer is very nice. However, I have no idea how to hit the virus. The only virus thing I see is the countdown window and hitting that seems to not do anything.

Also I'm very sad you didn't write an essay for the game jam :P
Still a good job overall, congrats !

(Very funny, and I love how you can actually interact with the operating system and type stuff. Really fun!)

Whilst it was a pretty short game, it delivered on so many fronts. The concept had me laughing all the way through, all the little details within the operating system were fantastic. Excellent work!
