Interesting game. The background was a bit noisy to see enemies on, but the movement was very smooth, and the difficulty curve was nice. Those purple stars are pretty hard to catch!

Having the side-to-side viruses in there made it tricky, but I could hide in the corner for a while. :)
Nostalgic, nice background
Hi!
Nice game! Really simple but effective, kept me playing a while! This site needs to bookmark favorites, definitely one my favs.
Difficult, but fun!
Nicely done! Addicting game play, but I would agree background could be a bit more muted to be easier on the eyes :)
Nice music! It would be nice to be able to get health back somehow.
Interesting game :D love it
This was really well executed. It seems like you had a pretty good handle on what you could accomplish and stayed within those bounds. This is one of the more polished jam entries I've seen.
Floppy disk controls were a bit floaty, but apart from that it was pretty good. Loved the background music.
Throws you right into it! I would like to be able to see the text info at the bottom a little better so I could keep up. Cool game!
Fairly simplistic, but not bad. The viruses were really difficult to dodge!
TotalCommander!?! I like the old school art style, but gameplay way too simple.
What a wonderful throw back to the days of the floppy, As I played I recalled all the times I would want to copy small increments of data to a disk. Great Work!
Ahh, the good old days. :P
The distribution of the enemy feels random. Maybe you could tweak it so it's easy in the beginning and then harder as time goes by, so people would have the chance to familiarize themselves. Congrats on the entry though~
the moving are random ? it make this more difficult D: but it's cool !
Ok game. It is a really simple game and I would have wanted something more. The menu GUI you could have worked some more on.
Great Graphics
Nice game, love the retro theme.
Really set that 80s/90s vibe, although that's a remarkably clean circuit board. This is a nice take on the theme and it looks good.
My wife did a "Mum plays..." of this game: http://youtu.be/exE2rA3HscQ
Best score 1400 :D
I really love you background, you should made it not only a background :D
The UI could use some TLC, but gameplay is there. I like that the items dropping have random behavior.
Nice and simple. Maybe the floppy has too much inertia, but overall a nice game. Thanks!
What's a floppy drive? (J.K.) Great job.
This games reminds me both missile command and astrosmash. Good controls, but very hard.
I thing enemies/friends are too similar. Fun to play!
High score: 1800. Kinda tranquil to play.
The interesting enemy movement patterns and decent amount of polish stand out!
Nice little game, I like how the hazard icon stopped a while before advancing, unlike the others. Keep it up!
I liked it, but I would have liked it more if it had progressive difficulty or set waves of enemies. It was a bit too random--anyone, good one!
love that retro sound :) Welldone!
This was alright, I found it quite floaty to control, and the viruses were moving across the screen a little too much in my opinion, so it made them annoyingly hard to dodge, but the concept is pretty neat, and the music wasn't bad either. I wasn't a great fan of the graphics, because they seemed really basic to me, but it fits the theme well. Good job.
Nice little game, though from the screen shot, I got a different idea for a single-screen game, a platformer where your character is really REALLY small, and there's one level, but the level is big because the character is only one pixel or something.
Not bad, but would like some kind of goal to the game that would make it worth playing.
Simple fun and nostalgic game
Cool game:) Score: 13000
Possibly my favourite game so far. You know my weakness sir!
Simple but well done. I dig the nostalgia. I wish they were retro icons from Windows 3.1 or something like that.
Neat background.
The enemy back and forth motion was hard to get used to, at first.
Oh the nostalgia! nice job! xD
Neat little game.
My favorite part is trying to trick the viruses! Nice entry!
It's a very simple game. but I like it.
Since the background was flat, it gave a sense of a lot of movement offscreen. I think it was a creative take on a dodge game. For future development, I would add a requirement to collect data. Otherwise, like someone else said, you can just hide in the corner for a while. As someone else pointed out with health, the file collection could also serve as a health meter where viruses make you lose data.
The in game graphics are actually pretty good, they fit well, why is the title screen so much worse? I would definitely appreciate more powerups
Very cool graphics. Nice music as well. Pretty fun too!
A really nice entry for a simple concept which accomplishes the challenge for this LD. I like the movement fluidity and the differents elements - friends or ennemies. Well done ++
Nice game.
Thanks for checking out Natquik and leaving me feedback! I definitely enjoyed myself here. I felt like the difficulty ramped up slowly but specifically. I was collecting stars and getting to the flow of things. The music reminded me a little bit of Primer's soundtrack. Job well done. Thanks for sharing and congrats! :)
Nice and simple. I really like the theme you went with. Good work.
I liked the simple and clean gameplay. Sometimes individual elements would come to a stop and then start up again after a half second. It really threw my timing off!
My high score was 16400 after I hit my stride on the second or third playthrough. I can see why we don't use floppy disks anymore!
Nice music, it's perfect for the theme of the game!
BTW well done, a little too hard sometimes!
Simple game. Fun to play. The viruses are vicious.
Awesome job for a first time entry. Nice graphics and good use of sounds. Something I would have liked to see would have been to have a floating UI pop when you got points or lost a life. Great job bro!
Simple catch the falling objects game. Pretty damn tough as well. I miss floppy disks.
Cool! I liked it.
pretty good game - simple mechanics - but everything was cmoplete - nice job
Nice game. Total Commander use to have similar icon. Retro for the win :)
