Hilarious! <3
Damn Clippy! :D
A lot of non-puzzle games made the mistake of designing around the ON mechanic only without back and forth. THIS game however has made the "mistake" of designing around the OFF mechanic only without back and forth, cause boy oh boy are the odds stacked against you.
If this a joke submission, then the game over screen is a great punchline. 10/10
You're right that this is a joke submission, so I didn't really go into too much detail. Good luck on the Jam. You deserve first place in the theme category.
Easily 5 star on Graphics and Audio. The feels of this game is so good! I was hoping for a longer a gameplay and theme is not quite implemented. But overall, great job!
Thank you. I agree that the gameplay is short and simple. I didn't really have too much time available, and my goal was more to make a joke than the whole game. Regarding the topic, the goal of the game is to TURN OFF the computer.
Gotta say, seeing my boy Win98 in a 16:9 format is nothing short of sacrilegious, but I'll let it pass >:[ very funny spin on the classic arkanoid! And the game over screen killed me lol, bravo!
Thanks for review pal.
My rating: 5:5:5:5:1
Well. Better then 1:1:1:1:5. Thanks for playing.
Not a bad idea, a bit hard to play :D
Thanks for playing.
It's just horizontal breakout, but I have to admit I had a chuckle when loading it up and the first time I died. Thanks for bringing some good fun to the Jam! (Also, if you have a chance please check out my entry as well :) )
It wasn't even my intention to do something serious, but to make someone laugh. Mission accomplished. Your game checked and reviewed.
HAHAHAHA very nice!
Thank you.
Funny little game! Can't wait for the Windows XP release!
Well, probably in the foreseeable future there will be something in XP style. Since I am now in the Operating system phase, I am working on a game related to the Commodore 64 operating system for 1bit jam. Thanks for playing and for your game that brought a smile to my face.
This game is hilarious, I was laughing the moment I start playing however I couldn't keep playing for longer because it's just breakout. I congratulate you for sticking with the joke, it was really funny but there could be more to make the game engaging.
That was the goal to make someone laugh. Thanks for playing.
the theme is fire and the game is solid i like it nice work dude pleas check my game out its a 3d adventure puzzle game pleas i need feedback
Checked and reviewed.
very funny game !
Thank you for the review.
Ha, what a fun little game! Those sounds are nostalgic. I wish the gameplay was a little bit less random, but indulging in the chaos was fun. Good job!
I could have worked a little more on the gameplay, but my goal was primarily to make a joke. Thank you for playing.
Nice job! Funny idea for the theme, and great execution of the graphical interface, original concept. High marks for the humor and originality!
If you get a chance to check out my game Foxy Boom Boxy, I would love your feedback, thanks!
Thank you. Checked and reviewed.

AWESOME AND FUN! loved seeing the 98 icons. Nice work. Reminded me of aquanood (bad spelling)
Thank you for your kind review.
I had a bit of trouble realizing it was a brick breaker game, but I still managed to be in the top 10 score !
Great. Thank you pal.
Reminds me of the old days <3
I wasn't able to shut down that PC <.>
well made !
Thanks for playing and good luck in the jam.
Love the originality and the game concept, even though I kept on losing in 30 seconds or less. XP
Those damn rebel icons. Thanks pal.
It was a really fun knockout clone. I liked it. I wish the game over cutscene could be skipped.
You're right. I should have made a skip option for the exploding computer. My mistake. Thanks for playing.
