• GDD The GDD is well-structured and clear. I appreciate the plans for post-jam development. I recommend putting a timeline at the end to give insight into the development progress. Gameplay The gameplay is very simple and easy to get used to. A very creative take on classic "don't let the enemy reach the goal" tower defense games is used. You having to divide your attention between holding the button and intercepting the cursor felt good. The simulation of a desktop was amusing and worked well with the theme. Most of my feedback would be about mechanics expansions, but I saw that most were addressed in the GDD. Adding powers to annoy the user, like summoning pop-ups to serve as cursor obstacles or shutting off his monitor "cursor freeze," would fit well with the theme. Installing decoys, there's a lot of room for expansion with this concept. If you want inspiration for a game that simulates the desktop, check out Kingsway. It has a completely different approach, but some mechanics can be adapted, like the use of desktop icons and pop-ups. Art Well, it's a desktop. I enjoyed the little details, like the icons and the folder you should not ever open or store on the desktop in the first place. No wonder that user got viruses. Don't pirate games, kids. I appreciate the humor in these details and the error 404. You can play with this too, to add variations, like "404 cursor not found" or "not so fast sysadmin.". Plenty of room to add your humor. Adding more fluff could improve the ambiance, but it's something optional. Sound design I enjoyed the BGM; the loop felt good and got me jamming while ruining the PC owner's day. The SFX fit the concept very well. I saw that some people sent feedback about the volume, but it felt well balanced to me. Following the theme, you could let the player adjust the volume using the simulated volume slider on the taskbar before starting the infection. Last words You might have noticed, your entry got my creative juices flowing. I feel this game has a neat concept and can be expanded to be a very fun standalone. And explore more your sense of humor; the majority was on the credits. I had a good chuckle reading that, you cheesy dev. Good job.
