This was pretty fun! I'd say there could have ben more audio, especially background music, but I think I'm probably actually glad the popups didn't come with more sound or they'd have made me absolutely crazy.
You truly captured the popup virus experience and all the frustration that comes with it. I really enjoyed story beats popping up as emails in the background, I'd have loved if there were even more of them!
Yeah I really did want to add background music but I have no skills in audio. I know I could find some free assets online which I have done in past game jams but couldn't find something. This game I made everything myself, well aside from the font I guess. The little bit of sound effects I made myself and it was difficult enough. I even spent a while trying to make my own "You got mail" soundbite but was never happy with it so settle with the sound.
I did consider the idea of pop ups making sounds. I thought it could fit into the last wild card of "silence" where you want to silence the popups. And I would have added an app that could silence everything. I think it might have been too annoying to players but also just kind of ran out of time with burnout near the end of the jam.
