How does your game fit the theme?
Usually if you got a virus on your computer, you would be the user trying to remove it. In this case, the roles are reversed and you are the virus trying to take over the computer.

Amazing Work, sadly cant finish tried 3 times, only reached to 80% will give it some more tries XD, Good Job on music and Art
Wow. This is very impressive. The idea itself is well thought out and a unique way of interpreting the theme. The gameplay makes you feel like some sort of a hacker and I love the little details and visuals that make the experience seem even more realistic. There were some weird bugs that I've encountered like not being able to drag the cursor or windows. Overall, I really like this idea and think it deserves a 5 star rating.
cool game! I like how instead of just clicking a button to prevent your infection percentage from going down, you have to actually interact with the victim by doing things like closing the windows and freezing the cursor
Thanks for coming onto the stream to talk about your game, here's a link to the Interview;
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1869190140Nice, really good presentation and it was really fun trying to mess with user's PC dragging and closing windows. Sadly I think my game glitched and there was no music, but that's just a really minor detail.
Loved this game. Hope to see you in the top 100!!! Also the Terms and Conditions for the anti virus are pretty funny. Also cat.
Really nice concept. I actually had a virus flag on one of the jam downloads this year; it was interesting to see how it went from the virus’ perspective lol. The effect of different actions on the situation was a bit confusing to understand, but otherwise it was pretty fun.
I feel people would be turned away by the download but it's a great game and it feels very polished. The graphics and music are great and I especially love the cat background :). It's a unique twist on a normal clicker game and it's really fun! A slight flaw would be it was a bit confusing as to what I should be doing and how effective certain things were.
This is a great game with lots of polish! Absolute hidden gem! More people need to see this! Worth the download!
It was a little sus downloading something with Virus in the name to my computer, but I'm glad I did. Really cool concept, and the presentation is really cute. The music transition to the virus view is really polished! I like the graphical effects used here a lot. The game does a great job of tutorializing its mechanics. Super clever game. Maybe I wasn't controlling it right, but I couldn't seem to use the "drag user's cursor" and "drag windows" abilities, not sure why. Surprised this hasn't gotten more buzz, it's a real hidden gem. Great work!
Really cool game! This is a pretty cool concept, and it is really well executed! It was pretty hard for me to cross the 75% threshold as the cooldowns were a bit long, but that could just be me spamming the 'infect files' button haha
wow, really well executed game, especially for 48 hours! the art looks great, and the music slaps! the only gripe with the game is that if the user calls tech support, its essentially a guaranteed loss; you cant do anything to disconnect them.
But still, this game desperately needs more ratings. Well done!!
glad you liked it! to get rid of tech support you can actually close the phone window, but yeah we recognize this isn't a great solution as if you get unlucky the user can basically just immediately open the phone and call them again.
Great to finally play a virus, I like this concept and it is well made. Music is cool and fits the game, also it changed depending on how much control you have over the pc. That is good
Maybe the best I played yet. It was really fun and the concept is cool. Maybe that the two option at the right aren’t as useful as the ones at the left but it was fun to hack this computer !
That was really fun! Great concept, loved the dynamic music based on the infection progress.
Great game!
This game sounds so cool! I can't really play exes, though, so if you'd upload a web version after the jam I'd love to play it :D
will do :) no promises about the performance on webgl though
art for the thumbnail rocks, added it to my list just for it. i tried to make a game with good art but apparently you need to be good at art for that 🙃
Awesome! I love the concept, I didn't find it clear which actions I could/couldn't use at any given time so it felt a bit like my actions were ignored - perhaps if the buttons grey out when tech support is connected it would help? Anyways, nice work!
This is really cool! The music escalating as you infect the computer is really fun and the dynamic of switching between pc view and virus view is really satisfying. I didn't find a ton of use for the powers other than close window, but even playing with just that was really fun! probably the best game I've played from the jam so far
