TOO REALISTIC!
My first and only score: 210290
Nicely executed, for what it is. I'm so glad to have popup killers nowadays so I won't have to go through this kind of stuff anymore. Once is twice too many.
The ambient music does a good job of building an uneasy and slightly alarming mood.
I think I had a really high score, but then suddenly there was a blue screen and it was lost...
heh game was going too fast to be able to read most of the text boxes, crazy idae though
I got a REAL pop up error about creating the file after I played a game or two..wait.. real or part of the immersion experience?? You've done it again, mr hassey! +1 for the gopher cookies
Hahaha, great idea, and a very solid implementation. I think it should be signalled that it's a bad thing to miss the box and click onto the background :)
Very artsy/cool cookie photo, btw!
That is awesome! Brings back too many memories :)
Lovely. Great example of taking something so simple and giving a special context that makes it laugh out loud fun.
Man... this game scared me. ;-) Nice graphics but way too easy. My finger started hurting with all the clicking ;-)
My high score: 255074
Fun game! Great music and sound effects. You really captured the panic feeling of speedily closing popups when they attack.
Nice whack-a-popup game. Say hello to mr. Repetitive Stress Injury! The game didn't save my highscore after I closed it. :-(
Nice goat cookies and gopher. Looks delicious.
120000ish. Good and complete. Not much to the gameplay, but the idea is interesting enough to keep me playing till I lost.
I almost wish I could spend more time reading the popup boxes, but I had to keep clicking them to avoid losing. Great, funny game.
as others have said.. flashbacks to bad memories of popup-death. ;) It was very funny and the graphics / messages made me want to read them rather than click at first so I think my score suffered.. ;) Also, more of a click-fest than very fun, but points for humor and scope. Also, props on the thousands of goat cookies and the dead marmint on a plate. The pictures of your shotgun wielding wife had me laughing during the compo too. :)
Very amusing. It's just a shame that you don't have enough time to read the messages as they pop up.
dam windows flew at me too fast, is suck at clicking. pretty dam hilarious though.
Very nice and addictive
Five minutes of fun. Pretty polished. I've played a very similar game before, though.
First and high score: 277212
hilarious.
Very very funny. The music works really well with it too - nice job. I only wish I had more time to read the popups. +5 for goat cookie madness.
Wow, neat and fun.
Very Scary... I too wanted to keep reading all the pop ups. Love, how the taskbar was like your health bar.
Man, I only got 80,000 and I thought I had done really well!
I give you low theme points, not sure how this fits the theme at all... now, if you had made it a game of clicking the minimize button on various windows, you'd have my vote! Of course, you'd also be aiming for a mighty small target, and your taskbar would get pretty darn full. Maybe the windows keep expanding on their own (they're games, see, and you are distracting yourself with them), and you have to minimize them to get to work on your essay. The essay gradually types itself and you have to get it done before class starts.
Sorry, wrote you a new game there. Anyway, and people say my game causes RSI! I nearly died getting my lousy 80k score.
The agony!
Not very innovative (points for humor though), but fun for a little while. Nice music =)
It would be more amusing if the errors were on screen long enough to read... but then that would kill the gameplay.
Amusing. I think there was another game like this that actually required you to click on the X button, and sometimes the popups appeared partially off-screen so you had to drag them into view to click the button.
A great overall package. Everything seems to be polished quite well. Nice subliminal messages in the menu. Nice BSOD. Nice everything! One of the best entries, definitely.
The popups! They are too many!
Scary game. OK at first, overwhelming later on. Humorpoints granted.
+2 food point for all the goat cookies. +1 for gopher. Still only ends on 4 though -- milk or yoghurt doesn't grant extra!
Funny sounds, funny opening graphics, nice clean in-game graphics. Simple but effective gameplay. I would have liked the dialogs to require clicking on their buttons rather than just the whole Window ... more realistic to the difficulty experienced in a real dialog box attack :) But maybe that would be less fun, I dunno.
