Damn i was fighting for my life here! Really hard, but i did manage to beat it! It was fun, wish the Xs weren't as small as they are. Love it!

Really good! wish there was a little more variety in where ads appeared, since i could put my mouse in one spot (after gun) and just hit 95% of them with barely any movement. love the style too, and the references in the ads were super charming.

okay i really dig the style of this game. i love the pixel artwork so so so so much, the spinning monkey and banana stood out to me immediately (they are SO cheerful and cute!!) but everything looks amazing from the bottom up!! the sprites for the desktop icons, the progress bar, the consistent framing of elements within desktop windows, the colourful scenery, the gorgeous sun over the ocean horizon?? and that crt booms it up even more.

of course the ads could do with some (better) imagery but you make it work anyways and with the time you had (solo dev??) it's so crazy to me how brilliant this looks. and it's a pretty sick concept too, fps pop-up ads already getting in the way before you've even started the game. that establishing of the mechanic is awesome but, definitely made it annoying to read the instructions so that could be balanced a bit more. and the gameplay loop could have felt a bit more fun but the concept helps carry it through. 

to potentially expand on the idea i think if you could interact with the windows in more ways, like resizing from the edges or dragging them around from the bar up top, that could make the before gun portion feel a bit less stiff. it might make the start easier but also feels kinda sick and introduces more range for strategies that look really cool in my head. you could even let them run the risk of messing with the non ad windows too....

and it'd be kinda fun if clicking on the ads ever actually did anything, mostly negative but potentially also positive, like the get rich ones taking your money, or with a small percent chance of giving you money. but it's already a difficult and fairly whole game already so everything i just suggested is extra that i just think sounds cool. really leans into the chaos of the pop-up ads while also giving the player a bit more variety in how they play.

i will say that "cycle" through game mechanics is a fun play on words but doesn't exactly come through in the gameplay, since that makes it sound like you go back and forth between them when it feels more like you've gotta be on them at the same time. but that's just semantics, the cycling theme is still there with the monkey on a bike and the styling of the environment around it.

a little more sound design could also really polish this off, just some feedback from picking up the bananas and getting hit by the teslas i think, extra suggestion would be that some ads making obnoxious noises would be funny but that's of course, extra. oh yeah, also enjoyed the extra charm you wrote into the text of the ads and stuff, chokedwg.exe was a highlight.

edit: also just remembered to mention how i tried to buy "art" a few times and didn't understand if it ever did anything? what's up with that?

Thank you for the submission!

Summary: A wonderful addition! Ran into 0 technical issues and replayed the game multiple times just for the enjoyment! Love the sprite work and admittedly got distracted by reading all the ads, but it was well worth it. Having the obstacles begin before you've even exited the instructions is ingenious as well. Really wanted there to be more, but it's scope as a GameJam is already exceptional, especially just from a single creator! Congratulations!

This is weirdly a cozy little game. I like the retro desktop, and the fun trying to get rid of the hot monkey milfs in my area ads and dodging tesla drivers. It's funny, its a little weird, and its fun. What more do you need? Great stuff!

10s ACROSS THE BOARD!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Ngl, I feel like I found a little bit of a cheese section, but I was close to the end anyway so a win is a win! 🤣🏆

Great game! I had soooo much freak fun!! 💕💞

The Pop ups are abit confusing but i really like the art style :D

WTF is this game, I can't lol. Very funny honestly

I loved the vibes and style of this game, at first I got stressed due to all the pop-ups, but once I noticed WHAT I had to do.. I still want to keep playing. I wish you can take this into a finished, published game. I'm sure a lot of people would love this as much as I did!

Really fun game! Love the Style :D

Sidescrolling while having to click away ads ? YOU MONSTER !
No for real this game is amazing and feels very polished. The idea of shoting ads with a gun is amazing.

all my sense and reflexes were on duty for this, good job!

The art looks awesome, the gameplay is original and unique. The game is very funny too. In my top 10 for sure.

love the aesthetic of this game!! the idea is well executed and it's genuinely really fun to play. i'd love to see this concept taken further, the whole multitasking thing is stressful but kinda satisfying. the crt filter is also a really nice touch. great job!!

very minor nitpick: the pop-ups at the beginning made the instructions a little hard to read. i wouldn't remove them, but maybe moving them to the side might make it a little easier to read. other than that, this is really good!

This game had me playing again and again! Fantastic job, loved everything about it. I managed to win but at the expense of my intense panicking. 

I love the style and the fact that you have to stay on your toes to turn off the pop ups and have to evade the cars as well makes it a good game loop for me!

Love the colors and the old school vibe you're going for.

The only downside for me was that you had to buy stuff as well and for me that's a little bit too much, since you already have to look out for the other stuff. Maybe make it automatically if possible? Or hearts on the road that you could pick up! Besides that, really nice. Love the music as well.

What an interesting and infuriating entry XD. Whoever owns this computer needs a strict talking to, holy gods the popup spam near the end was intense.

Nice art too, well worth suffering the opening part again to see :D.

Awesome work!

Yooo the style on this one is killer! Really nice work :D

This is my favorite one so far. The art style is perfect, and consistent. The gameplay fun and challenging!

Loved it from start to end. Great job!
