Very nice! I love the Win95/98 throwback. Very challenging. A tad unclear on what to truly do. Despite that, quite enjoyable

The idea is nice, graphics too, but it needs a better mouse tracking.

victor-rene 2014-12-09 03:56

The mouse is sluggish. I think it's because unity does something weird with it... or maybe it's how the game is supposed to play. The idea is neat, however, it's missing on fun, and a folder tutorial would be best, with such unusual controls.

The mouse sensitivity is supposed to be a little bit lower, but the movement should be smooth. If the mouse is lagging, maybe there really is a problem in the game...

Very humorous game :)

zakchaos 2014-12-09 04:19

the lack of 1:1 mouse control really frustrated me, other than that is a really great concept for a game, cartoony music really went well with the graphics! great job!

I like the style a lot, but I don't get what I have to do to actually delete the virus!
I type the letters, click it, and - what now? Can't move it to the trash. If I hit "DEL" on my keyboard I actually get back to the "menu"... more instructions or information about keybindings may be helpful :)

This is probably the best game I've played so far. 5/5 for "Theme". You can't fault that at all. :P at first I thought the sluggish mouse was anoying but once you figure out what the hell your meant to do it all makes sense. Tips for improvement. give the mouse things to collect to improve movement or fight, or drag and select baddies and drop them in the bin or something like that. Good job, great innovation!

Great!! Lost a few times but really enjoyed it. Good sound and the idea. Congratulations

I couldn't quite figure out what the trash can was supposed to do - I doubleclicked it and got swarmed.

antworks 2014-12-09 04:26

@timtipgames To delete the virus, you have to click the virus and hit delete. Have you tried that? It is quite likely to be a bug there hahah sorry!

antworks 2014-12-09 04:28

@LexGear Thanks!!!! We're so happy!!!!

antworks 2014-12-09 04:28

@Acuity The trash can open an enemy rush. This was supposed to be more clear, but we didn't have time to polish it.

broknecho 2014-12-09 04:43

The desktop theme is pretty awesome. Really challenging dexterity trying to move the mouse and type the viruses. Good game!

dontre 2014-12-09 08:04

Funny game, but after some clicks on trash can, game was freezed.

vtor 2014-12-09 19:41

Nailed the theme!

bensonance 2014-12-09 19:46

This was really cool! Loved the idea, and the alternative gameplay hooked me in! I'd probably recommend an easier starting pace, while you get the hang of the game though :).

virtuallycompetent 2014-12-09 19:48

Mouse is way too slow! But otherwise it's a neat idea. I couldn't delete viruses after selecting them (delete key would just bring the level 1 folder back up) and typing the letters would be a bit more intuitive if they were actually words, I think (I'm a hunt-and-peck-er, though, so maybe I'm not the best person to make that claim).

Tested on Mac OS X.

Very fun game ! I love the idea and it's a real challenge. Nice job !

rainshapes 2014-12-09 21:30

Very cool! I liked the graphics a lot - they reminded me of my old computer without hurting my eyes.

banana4life 2014-12-09 22:52

Awesome, it just crashed once

lokiman 2014-12-09 23:09

Windows 95 strikes back! The game is rather difficult but It was really fun and well made :)

Reporting that OSX version works but my system was completely overwhelmed by those pesky viruses! :)

deadpixelsociety 2014-12-10 00:25

Straight forward, simple, and pretty fun! I think it would have been more fun to click and drag the frozen virii into the trash can instead of tapping delete. :)

lostcodestudios 2014-12-10 03:05

Really innovative actually! It just needs a bit of polish.

srakowski 2014-12-10 03:47

Oh wow i didn't realize how hard it would be to find the keys with only one hand... having to control the mouse and all. Very well done. I like 'shutdown' as the exit. Pretty darn cool :)

rjhunter 2014-12-10 04:16

Interesting and novel control system. I had to go back to the game description and re-read the controls, so on-screen hints or a tutorial would really help.

For a game with death at every corner, it took quite a while to restart the level (wait for "bluescreen" restart, clicking through all the folders...).

On my machine (Mac OS X) with trackpad, the pointer in the game moved a *lot* slower than the real pointer moves in the rest of the system. I think this might be a Unity thing, ignoring system mouse sensitivity and doing its own.

Great job!

resonious 2014-12-10 13:50

The slow mouse definitely felt a bit odd, but overall I like it. Good job!

legacycrono 2014-12-11 02:44

Damn, I managed to get to the last level, but seriously... http://i.imgur.com/iPTi6JM.png
I didn't like the slow cursor, but it wasn't much of a problem. The real difficulty comes from typing with a single hand (and the non-dominant one, to boot) while still avoiding a barrage of shots with the cursor.
The concept is fun, it's a good twist on the "learn to type" games. The graphics were fine, but I'm puzzled by why there's high definition icons in a Win 95 desktop. :P Good work!

Had a tone of fun with this game, the mouse was kind of slow tho :3, Good work :D

billrizer 2014-12-14 16:43

Fun little game :)

renaldo 2014-12-14 17:22

This game is pure fun! I loved how you have to coordinate between typing and clicking.

By the way, the mouse simply don't work on Linux.

flickta 2014-12-23 19:51

Nice, nice, nice! Managing movement and typing is great. It looks like a great 2 player game where one player is responsible for movement and another for shooti... I mean, typing.

phocker 2014-12-26 17:08

interesting but the mechanics were way to complicated to make it fun - nice job
