I wish there was more to it, but it was fun while it lasted. Nice game!

How does your game fit the theme?
With an unexpected 'computer virus' taking over the 'OS', the control of your own 'computer' is no longer in your hands, with you having to fight against it in order to buy soup for your friend.

I was really hoping to find more easter egg websites that exist... especially inappropriate ones. But alas, that would've been against the rules. I love the use of vaporwave as soon as the soup can starts happening. It is also really fun that it's almost a sandbox game because the inciting incident only occurs if you intentionally do something that you don't have to do! The manipulation of player controls has been done to death in this jam, but your approach was uncommon and refreshing.
i love this so much!!!!! i'm a total sucker for this sort of fake-os type game, and this was a very goofy and fun interpretation of the theme!!! high marks all around
i never used windows 98, but damn what a nice game. really creative and smart
some feedback:
-in the part when you have to put your name i assumed i had to put my real name since it ppeared all over the screen
- sometimes the cursor goes off-screen. thats fine, but then you grab something and it goes off-screen and you can never used again, making you restart the game. this was the reason i couldnt complete it bc it happened 3 times (my game has a similar bug lol)
im gonna finish it (if i can) when you post an update
overall, great game!
Thank you so much! Yes, I am aware that the name part is confusing after watching a few people playtest my game (after the jam ended unfortunately :( ).
As for the windows teleporting off screen, I was actually aware of this during development and made it so that if you double clicked the desktop icons, the window would be recentered onto the screen, but I was (and am still) unsure how to convey this to the player, but for now, it stays hidden in the description of the game page.
Glad you enjoyed my entry!
I look forward to the day when we can download soup! Very great atmosphere and visuals! It was a really fun information hunt! The rotating soup can was hypnotizing... I'm going to eat some soup now...
It was a little weird seeing another Windows 98 themed game, but I gotta say you did it better than me lol. Great game!
The desktop interface is really welldone, I especially like the click sounds
Is there some other solution than moneysavings ? I feel I can't trust them :p
Wow, the game is awesome ! It’s original and cool to play, great job ! Maybe a little confusing with all the soup in the screen but still funny.
Really great presentation and a good execution on an interesting concept. Great work!
This was a ton of fun to play! It really fit the theme of out of control
I really like the presentation, and the work on the os, it was really well done ! Gameplay wise, it's a neat idea, but i was lost at some points, not knowing where to go.
This is a neat game that captures the out of control theme really well! It was very intuitive to play (which is a big plus!) and felt good with nice audio + SFX really adding to the game feel.
In the end, I could not buy my friend the soup. What is my name? I forgot : (
Great job!
