Definitely brings me back. With a few more window variations this could be a really fun proper game. Good job!

Very fun and stressful game!

Hahahaha! 178 points! WOW... I got flashbacks from darker OS times. :D

I liked everything about it, except that it was stressful as hell! Good job!!!

Concept really works! Very very similar to another game here in this jam, but both are really nice. I like the computer aesthetics too, it honestly worked for me!

Submitted

A lot of potential here. Just adding some more window/app variety would really bring it to the next level

Totally agree. I had a lot of real life stuff come up during the jam, so I wasn't able to implement as much as I wanted :(

Yaaaasss!

Wow, really fun! I got a score of 180. Though I've seen games like this before (not in the jam) I'm not sure how I'll rate the game's originality. Anyways, great concept!

Why is my crazy computer testing my math skills? Hahah funny concept

Ahh this brings back memory of Win 95 and 2000 SE. I thought about bringing this idea up to my teammate about this very exact thing, but went down the different direction. 

What throws me off was the calculator, trying to get the negative sign was a bit difficult and hard to do. Normally alt +F4 or Ctrl + Shift + Escape would usually solve this problem. 

Love it! Got out of control and got 179 points as my final score before BSOD.

A very unique idea on this theme. If it were not for the maths questions, this game would be never ending.  I really liked the concept of the game. Great Job

Perfect blend of nostalgia and frustration!

Pretty good, could use some more variety in windows, but it was a cool game.  I got a score of 137.

Submitted

That was a lot of fun! The catch me windows were very hard to catch! Would've loved even more window types.
