- Super novel take on the theme! Being the PC cursor and being your own PC's antivirus is a fun interpretation of the "You Are The Weapon" theme. I really like all the implementations of the various parts of a PC, such as apps and file types. The Trojan Horse viruses exploding into many more viruses was a lot of fun, and made a ton of sense. The color theme is simple but effective and made the gameplay easy to follow. I feel like the cursor was a bit too big compared to the size of the screen. I also noticed that the crushing cursor would engage twice when you tried to double tap to change cursor types. I think the UI for the lanes through which the viruses come down could be made a bit more clear, but otherwise it was great. You give a lot of good descriptions of why you chose certain elements, but I don't see a reason behind a lack of music for this submission. The lack of music isn't a problem, but explaining why there isn't any (even free) in your game would be good to see. I like that you gave plenty of art examples and designs to show how different apps look and work and how the shop works. The mechanics are all well explained and make sense. The artistic style is very reminiscent of retro computer illustrations, which I really enjoy. Thank you for the submission, I really enjoyed playing it!
