Really enjoyed the theme on this one! I liked the different themed apps you could buy from Faunamart (still my favorite part about this game, and I still can't get over the fact that its a real website lmao) and how they each had their own strategic tradeoffs when using them, like the power of Nerfshark adjusting to its size on the screen.

It got pretty hectic and difficult above the zatsudan difficulty to the point that it really makes you think about how insane Kronii must have felt dealing with Cortana lmao

Developer

Thanks for playing! Wish I could do more than just 2 apps >< I had quite a few ideas but didn't managed to get them in on time.
 
Also, glad you love faunamart. Faunamart will always be with you.

This was such a funny game lol. Love the references (especially the FaunaMart website that's absolute gold), and really unique gameplay! Every Krotana popping up really did sanity damage to me irl, I wonder if this is how Kronii felt when Cortana went crazy.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Very fun game with an interesting spin on the corruption theme!

Although, quite difficult even on the easiest difficulty but that could be tweak later.

Overall, Great theme, Reference and gameplay!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Yea the difficulty is kinda whack ><

Very fun game!

I don't know if I managed to use all the available tools efficiently, but it was super chaotic and fun. I couldn't beat the 3rd level, but that's okay as things got crazy fast. Loved the faunamart website!

I'm not sure how the CC app helped but I liked spinning it. XD

Very good job! Hopefully you can expand it with more apps and different kinds of Crotana behaviors.

Developer

Thanks for playing! The CC app helps you to empty your recycle bin bit by bit over time once you've winded it, but it is quite slow and only works if you left the window open.

This is a ton of fun, I love how all the different elements work together and balance each other out, tons of great risk/reward mechanisms. Great take on the theme, the UI throughout sells the experience very well. The game went a step above once I had to start dragging stuff around; the icons to avoid krotana or moving/resizing nerfshark was a really great dimension to add to the game. (Nerfshark speeding them up if you make it too large is *very* funny)

A few UI things should maybe be a tad easier to handle, I think a box that better shows the bounds of the X button and a bit more leeway in resizing nerfshark would feel a lot better to the player without sacrificing much real difficulty.

Obviously would love to see more apps (and toolbars!) in the future if possible, great work

Developer

Thanks for playing! Agree on the UI part, though modifying the hitbox of the resize border may require changing godot's source code since I've been using their ootb popups (which I believe was not supposed to be used as a gameplay element XD)

Great job into turning a unique moment into a stressful but very fun game

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I love how you managed to turn Kronii's Crotana gag into corruption theme so flawlessly. User interface looks great and authentic (I was audibly giggling when I saw Fauna gifs in the shop) and really immerses you into the battle with annoying malware.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

The tradeoff of app benefits to larger protection area translates perfectly into a strategy mechanic.

Developer

Thanks! That was the intention yes, but I feel like I may not have balanced the usefulness of the apps well enough for installing apps to be worth it at this point. May revisit and improve app usefulness.

Pretty cool game, quite long round times, and after some time Cortana (also) drives me crazy. 

Developer

Thanks for playing! Cortana drives me crazy too.

I actually had a lot of fun with this one. It feels like a tower defense game that forgot to give you your towers XD. CCCleaner is definitely the stronger of the two faunamart apps. I love that every single icon is a cute nod to a Hololive talent. 

I now feel that I understand Kronii a little better. I can't play this for too long, it's stressful! 
Good job! 

Developer

Thank you! Watched your gameplay vid as well, and it has given me more important feedback than you can imagine.
- I think I should emphasize more on how icons "groups together". Realized that most people would default to keeping the icons to the side.
- I am fully aware of how annoying the voiceline is XD Was torn between keeping it and taking it out, but decided that it has too much identity of that kronii moment to remove.
- Guess I should crank down the difficulty by a notch. Wasn't expecting the hecticness to build up so much.

Also, glad you love faunamart. Faunamart will always be with you.

Game's a bit rough around the edges, as you admit in your description, but the underlying skeleton is a novel and interesting take on a 'base defense' style game that I'd like to see more fully realized. The visuals and references are top-tier, as well.

I miss Early Internet so much.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I miss it too, but sites on neocities are still a pretty good throwback. You should check it out!

Faunamart was pretty cool. The game is kinda hard at the start but I got the hang of it. Pretty cool idea overall!

Developer

Thank for playing! Glad you find the faunamart page cool. Faunamart will always be there for you.

Cool idea! The minigames are fun but I think they could be shorter.

During the gameplay my screen turned red and I couldn't figure out what happened :(

The Neocities website is peak creativity!

Developer

Thanks! Not sure about the red screen, hope its not a permanant thing.  :(

Submitted(+1)

Quite a fun and interesting idea! I do think its a bit too hard right now, mostly because its annoying having all your progress for a stream undone if you lose. I think the different apps are very fun though, and I hope you come back to add more!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

The rounds felt a bit long but I did enjoy it. I kinda like the innate balancing of having more upgrades meaning you have more icons, which is more space that Krotana can attack. But since that exists I do wish the upgrades were a little better, specifically the Ceci one. Faunamart page was peak.

Developer

Thanks! Glad you love the faunamart page. Faunamart will always be there for you.

HOLY SHIT ITS A REAL WEBSITE

This game reminded me of the fact that I deleted Cortana years ago.

I can’t say I had fun with it—but maybe that wasn’t the point! It would definitely be a 5-star experience if Kronii were the one playing it, though.

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for playing! I wouldnt think kronii would enjoy digging up her cortana trauma again though haha.

Fun idea! Although I am confused at start but gradually understand it

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Fun game, had trouble getting revenue but the minigame was fun. Would love to see more.


I especially like how you made a linux build for those of us that don't enjoy krotana on our PCs <3

Developer

Thanks! Any issues while you are running it in linux? I exported without testing the linux build

Submitted(+1)

Definetly a Fun Idea and does have pure Kronii Energy there xD Definetly a nice prototype of a game! And i did spent a bit more than "Instant Noodle" Time on this one XD tried the one chip stream multiple times failing in the process xD

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for playing! Yea there were supposed to be more apps to support you in tackling the last difficulty, but the noodles were still too raw

Submitted(+1)

cool prototype, interested to see where it could go! for feedback, the rounds felt like they were a bit too long, and i'm not sure if the first upgrade is working properly. it didn't seem to do anything after i bought it

Developer

Thanks! You'll have click the start button and install it lol.
