Couldnt get past the main menu. i like how you went with a weird concpet, but i just couldnt get into the game, it wouldnt let me start. :(

sgtbursk 2016-04-19 02:51

Sweet game! Love it! I was about to give you hell for that ending though >:)

teamkawaiiju 2016-04-19 02:52

This was really cool! I don't think I've ever played a game that actually involves moving the game window around as a game mechanic. Incredibly innovative.

kitty553 2016-04-19 02:55

Yo jcmonkey. To start the game, you have to narrow in the game window around the Start Button. Sorry if that was confusing. I added it in the description

edocreate 2016-04-19 02:56

Ha-ha ). Hard to start)

Fantastic game

Man, this is a pretty interesting idea. That said, I had a rough time. It was hard to figure out that zooming in + centering on enemies was what killed the enemies. It also took me forever to get out of the store menu, maybe that's why some people say they can't get past the main menu.

Very clever, it's so close!

brainslugs83 2016-04-19 05:16

It looks interesting, but even after the start screen there's just a thing that says "Click me" and when you click it, it takes you to a store. And you can't buy anything, and there's no way to exit. What are you supposed to do? -- WASD, clicking, etc. don't work there. :-/

When I start the game, there's a thing that says Click me, and it opens up a shop screen from there -- I'm not sure what to do next or how to get out of it.

kitty553 2016-04-19 05:18

@BrainSlugs83 Did you click the text in the shop that says 'Back'?

zgragselus 2016-04-19 05:18

Great idea and I totally love when you lose this game.

aflatminerstudios 2016-04-19 05:22

Whoa, neat idea. Super hard, but pretty cool.

mandolinquinn 2016-04-19 05:23

Would have really liked to play this... I changed my resolution and everything to try and play the game, but it didn't work...

Couldnt get past the main menu

griz 2016-04-19 08:52

Love the concept.

*SPOILERS*

That blue screen sure was scary! :)

*SPOILERS*

dmitrix 2016-04-20 00:18

I'm scared to run it, it's asking for admin privileges. O_o

kitty553 2016-04-20 00:31

@Dmitrix A good rule of thumb is that if other people were able to run it, it probably isn't a virus.

allstar602 2016-04-20 00:40

Awesome! I didn't expect moving the window to be a mechanic, very innovative. The blue screen of death was a nice touch.

trickman 2016-04-20 02:09

Very innovative and original! I'm impressed!

khaos_fang 2016-04-20 02:49

Most interesting idea in this jam!

ruchirbapat 2016-04-20 02:51

chummywinds 2016-04-20 03:01

Oh man that was insane! :D 1st off SO original. Never seen a game like this ever. Also so fun! I'm going to try and beat it, I got pretty close but wow good job

skipi 2016-04-20 04:11

I loved the game over screen!

This was a very clever interpretation of the theme.

croze 2016-04-20 04:12

Couldn't really get it to work so I can't rate it :(

2bit 2016-04-20 04:12

Wow, no idea how you did this but I loved it. Great job.

dmitrix 2016-04-20 04:26

@kitty553 Wow, I just got home and played it and I'm really sorry now. At first I didn't realize why your screenshots included the entire desktop. Also didn't realize it was a Game Maker installer that need run as admin. Love the concept!

kitty553 2016-04-20 05:27

@Dmitrix. No worries m8. Glad you liked it.

lochmann-apps 2016-04-21 07:20

An interesting concept with good artwork!

lavaghost 2016-04-21 12:42

Alt + Print Screen takes a screenshot of the window you are focused on :) Hope I could help.

nihilaleph 2016-04-21 14:55

Great concept! Cool graphics and really innovative! A little hard to pass the menu and understand how to play, so maybe some more instructions? Also a bit too hard for me, couldn't beat it xp

Anyways, great entry!

mementogames 2016-04-25 00:44

The concept is interesting, but the controls felt weird.

qikcik 2016-04-25 10:15

Good Game :D

thegunmaster 2016-04-25 11:04

hmm, really cool game, it is a shame that it has to install though. wasn't very clear what to do at first either. Still great concept and execution

jacob-peltola 2016-04-26 22:57

OK, but needs better direction.. I wasn't sure what to do immediately without guidance

cmlsc 2016-04-26 23:06

Extremely innovative. XD
Although I did have problems with controlling the window because it would go off my screen. Also, the game was a bit hard.

chriiis88 2016-04-29 16:19

Very cool idea! A bit hard to play on linux, as the contents of the game window are not visible, when it is resized. It's playable, though. Maybe an option to use the arrow keys to resize the window would be good.

cerno_b 2016-04-29 20:05

Wow, very innovative use of screen space, I really like the idea. Kudos for being brave enough to upload a file to Dropbox called ANTI_VIRUS.exe. Dat end game screen tho. ;)

Great job!
