Love the concept! A bit hard to grasp an ad but I figured it out eventually

Submitted

Just when I thought it was easy, I got bombarded with ads I couldn't close. Chaotic and fun!

Submitted

Really enjoy the concept! I wish the input is more forgiving but I understand how hard it is to get that right during the short time frame of a game jam! Great job :D 

fun but way too easy imo.

i got bored after 6 minutes so i just gave up

WOW. I wasn't expecting anyone to achieve such an insane score. After 80 seconds, there's a pop-up spawning every second, and I thought that would be enough to make every player lose. The goal was just to hold on as long as possible to get the best score.

But being able to keep up that pace is literally insane. Some people say the game is too difficult, so hearing someone say it's too easy was really unexpected. 

i have immense lag so thats probably why lol

also what is the "code is 559318" thing for? i tried typing it on the keyboard and puting it in the math ad but nothing happened.

Ahaha, you noticed that too!

This is my first game jam and my first game ever, and I wanted to try something in the style of INSCRIPTION, where there are hidden secrets you can find related to the developer's past games. I was thinking ahead for future projects. (The weird signs translate to 'you need edoc in your life,' where 'edoc' stands for 'code'). But this one was way too obvious—I’ll hide it better in the future. 👀

I love the popup design. 10/10 very accurate

Submitted

I would've never thought I would be playing as an adblocker.  The borders are a bit hard to aim for but that's nothing but realistic for annoying ads.

because you have to precisely click it, its a bit hard to do it in fast pace. nostalgia trip to old desktop

Sehr gutes Spiel, das sich durch seine Einzigartigkeit auszeichnet. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad wird mit der Zeit erhöht, wodurch das Spiel wettbewerbsfähiger und unterhaltsamer wird.

Since I'm not great at aiming, this game is a bit challenging for me, but the concepts are solid!

Submitted

Such a great concept, the game is great. I love how the tutorial is also pop ups that you need to close, it made sure I knew how to play the game before I was thrust into pop up hell.

Developer

Thank you for noticing that! That’s exactly what I had in mind. I’m not sure if you noticed this as well, but the game logo on the main screen is actually a window you can close 👀

Original windows chaos.  Love it !

Ha! This isn't a game! just a flashback to 2002.
