Yes

Summarise your game!
Software Renovate is a 2D action roguelike centered around removing viruses from an infection riddled computer. You must slash and upgrade your cursor to eradicate this infection.

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
We decided to take the concept to a more low-level understanding, where you ( the cursor, the most literal representation of the user ) is the only way to kill the enemies

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
we put a lot of effort into the visuals and fitting everything into the setting of the game, but getting some extra feedback in the gameplay and game design concepts would be very helpful!

Very cool game! Love the style of it! There's a bit of an issue where the explosion knock-back throws the bugs off screen and I lost because I could not see them getting ready to hop at me lol

Absolutely love this! The gameplay is simple but fun, the progression is neat and the visuals are well-done. I especially liked the mouse's "slicing" afterimage. Everything comes together nicely.

I'm not a fan of the charge meter's positioning on in the corner of the screen though, it would be cool if the mouse cursor itself had an indicator of charge readiness as it's a little inconvenient to have to look away from the cursor.

Awesome submission!

Thanks! I'd certainly agree that the charge indicator is the game's biggest flaw, so the sound cue is our attempted remedy. Glad you enjoyed the game!

Nice game but I wish that restarting were faster.

Holy cow, this rips. Super cool visuals and design, gameplay has a great balance of trying to get a nice slice when charging and bullet hell during recharge. Different enemy types all combine to make a really captivating game. Best I've played in this jam so far.
