Very creative interpretation of the theme!

I just felt like it lacked a little more challenge, nothing stops me from throwing everything in the trash to continue. Perhaps the virus could take control of the mouse for a few seconds or hide the option to empty the trash somewhere else?

Still, it turned out really cool, congratulations!

Developer

thanks! And totally agree about the challenge level. The original idea was to have some files that were system critical and resulted in a BSOD if you accidentally deleted them and viruses that infected other files and multiplied

Really appreciate you playing and commenting

somehow (don't ask me how) I managed to complete the game by keeping some windows of the new os, on the old one.

And then re-running the downgrade tool :S

ha! I love this! It’s like glitching a speed run. Thanks for playing!

Nice interpretation of the theme and the wildcards. It's always satisfying to have a clear-out of the desktop! Really cool change in art style, made me feel nostalgic.

Really solid game! Loved the eyes and movement on certain files along with the art style change between the two levels! Very cute! Great job and fun game!

Developer

very kind words! Appreciate you taking time to play and comment

Nice game. It was a bit short, but a cool take on the theme :) Felt pretty polished too

Developer

Thanks! You're absolutely right about the length, a LOT was descoped sadly, including a whole OS between the modern one and the monochrome one. But I'm really glad you found it polished, thanks so much for playing!

aah, too bad, would have been cool to see another theme

Very cute game. Love the aesthetic. I enjoyed its theme and simplicity

Developer

Thank you! If only the dev was as simple as the actual gameplay! But I appreciate the comments, thanks for playing!

Haha, I suppose it's not trivial to simulate a computer OS!

Cool game! The simulated OS was really cool and well done. I also liked the change in style when downgrading. The file style , and having them move around was really unique. Good work!

Developer

Thank you, such kind words! Makes all the head scratching to get Godot UI working worthwhile!

Cool game!

Love the style change in the middle, I think that's the first game I played where the change had a reason in the actual game

Also the eyes are cute, I love how concerned they look when they get their little eyebrows

Developer(+1)

Aw thanks so much! Means a lot that you enjoyed it!
