This is hilarious! Man, you should've added more software icons in the game. Anyway, I laughed a bit! Nice!

leave 2018-08-12 18:53

The intro is really funny

listonos 2018-08-12 19:37

@xyntell Thanks and I am glad it made you laugh. @leave :)

marrack 2018-08-12 19:59

thumbs up for this one :D

biodiesel 2018-08-12 20:02

When the theme was announced i thoguht of a similar game, where you had to delete incoming new files. But you came up with a much better idea. I like the "Fruit Ninja"-like Gameplay a lot. You should add as many Icons and events as possible, to keep the game interesting. Aside from that, great idea and good implementation.

kristov 2018-08-12 20:06

hah, at first I was legitmately scared to play it after seeing the screenshots!

4thwallstudios 2018-08-12 20:23

Loved the gameplay! I think a bomb-type icon would be good to add so you are not just slash aimlessly. Great presentation :smile:

aviv871 2018-08-12 20:34

Great idea, really unique. More types of icons, ones you should not cut for exmple could be nice. Funny references. great job!

the-icy-one 2018-08-12 20:48

How did you find my PC from like 10 years ago? I miss that mouse trail :(

You've made me giggle and the gameplay is quite relaxing, although the mouse detection seems to occasionally miss a swipe. Also, is this in the right category? The graphics largely seem premade.

devio 2018-08-12 20:53

Enjoyed the humour, As The_Icy_One Said, input lag or whatever is causing the misses is a shame, other than that you have created a funny experience for most of us!

lars-erik 2018-08-12 21:00

Made me giggle. :D

sdrrv 2018-08-12 21:02

Favorite So Far!!! Keep up the good work!

quorusa 2018-08-12 21:05

Ahahah ! It's very fun !

It's repetitive, but I'm agree with others : variety of icons

I love the intro too ! It's make in context. :D

gulfick 2018-08-12 21:22

Nice idea! Like it!

raffe 2018-08-12 21:25

Gaben ;) epic game

bill-wheatley 2018-08-12 21:27

I really liked it, I wish there was more icons but you got me to laugh. :)

viater 2018-08-12 21:33

This is a pretty funny take on the theme! love it. SUuuuuuumer Sale

adonisdevs 2018-08-12 21:34

Haha that was pretty funny :)

truc-e 2018-08-12 21:37

Very funny game! I had this idea half way through the competition and thought it would be genius to make a game about running out of space on the computer. I especially love the cutscene at the beginning. But I would personally change the trail to make it distinct from the cursor and make it get harder much faster.

itsjustjord 2018-08-12 21:40

Lol! I really liked it, well done :D

wizard 2018-08-12 21:44

quite funny. liking the PC master race vibes from it, those steam summer sales though, just as brutal as reality.

paprigames 2018-08-12 21:45

Nice and fun little game!

lensflare 2018-08-12 21:46

Pretty funny) Make it more challengin! I survived last steam sale from the first time)))

zachw136 2018-08-12 21:49

The intro made me laugh. I was thinking was too easy but then the summer sale near the end hit.

gilgusmaximus 2018-08-12 22:02

Awsome game, especially the amazing intro catched me in an instant. And i liek how you paid attention to teh direction the player is cutting through the icons =) Only in the end it is getting a little bit messy because the already cut icons are a little bit slow on their way down.

lakso 2018-08-12 22:08

Funny and it looks really good!

dsthedragon 2018-08-12 22:08

the last part really got me, thought the game was the really easy till the sale start it was quite the jump. Nice One

woubuc 2018-08-12 22:16

Simple idea and funny as hell! Could have used some more different games instead of seeing the same ones over and over, but I enjoyed it.

listonos 2018-08-12 22:23

@biodiesel Thanks. I am sure there will be a lot of games centered around files and deleting but I am glad you enjoyed the fruit-ninja gameplay.

@kristov Just some memes being thrown around nothing scary :laughing:

@4thwallstudios Yeah I was considering bomb style Origin launcher but ultimately decided to go easy this weekend (read be lazy).

@aviv871 Thanks and glad you liked.

@the-icy-one I am proud of that cursor :smile: I think it's still compo, I don't think remaking game icons just for sake of modification make sense, it's more about how you use them and I did have to cut them up. Similarly memes are just memes.

@devio I have not seen it miss personally, the logic is there has to be a cursor out-in-out of the icon so you need to be in motion. That being sad I would be the last person to mark my code as bug-less

@lars-erik Mission accomplies :smile:

@sdrrv :heart:

@quorusa Glad you like and I agree more icons would help. To be honest I just run out of installed games on my Steam.

@gulfick Thanks

@raffe *A single tear of happinnes rolls on Gaben cheek*

@bill-wheatley Thanks

@viater Summer saaaale :moneybag: Thanks.

@adonisdevs :smile:

@truc-e I quite like how the cursor turned out but I understand it's not for everyone. I kinda wanted everyone to finish on first try so I didn't want to make it too hard but I agree it could have been harder.

@itsjustjord Thank you!

@wizard Definitely PC master race :wink:

@pabricka Glad you liked it.

@lensflare We don't want to make it too hard :smile:, thanks though

@zachw136 Glad the summer sale had an impact!

@gilgusmaximus It's those little touches which sometimes sell the game right? Messy is good, just like summer sale :laughing:

coldfire83 2018-08-12 22:23

If only it were this easy to free up space on my actual computer. Good job. Only comment is that it's not 100% clear what you're supposed to be doing at first. Other than that, really liked it :smile:.

emanuele 2018-08-12 22:27

really a great idea, I could not hold back a laugh by playing

evanm 2018-08-12 22:33

art: 5/5 Its really realistic to an actually desktop game play: 5/5 Really addicting and fun theme: 4/5 I really like what you did with the idea, not just deleting apps but slicing them audio: 3/5 the sound effects were really quiet but the voices were loud summery: I really enjoy this game, I chuckled alot, Good job!

kim-orden 2018-08-12 22:34

The idea was very cool and the intro animation as well! :P

omnipotentindie 2018-08-12 22:35

The concept was super creative, and I liked how you used actual windows icons, it added to the immersion. Most of the game was too easy. I really liked the summer sale section so I wish more of the game was like that. Good job.

ghen 2018-08-12 22:42

definitely a creative idea wrap in familiar gameplay, but unfortunately for me the game become very repetitive, and too easy, difficulty level or probably bomb type enemy like in fruit ninja could work

jelbre 2018-08-12 22:47

Although I think you will not be the only one having their game focused aruond deleting files, damn you made it look good.

Some possible improvements:

-Support fullscreen resolution

-make destroyed icons fade out, during summer sale you can't see what icons you've hit and what ones you haven't so you just end up swiping your mouse back and forth, because of which the game becomes more luck based instead of skill based

-bad items (AKA items that fill up your hard drive) like a download shortcut or a virus. This way the game also becomes more skill based.

Dope features:

-The looks! (Do I even need to explain?)

-The way the game starts.

-Increased difficulty over time (although the start still felt kind of slow, so you could try changing up the speed at which the "waves" like summer sale etc. pop up

Overall great game :D

bigjigglyproductions 2018-08-12 22:57

Unfortunately I wasn't able to play the game, it wouldn't launch :<

arthur-baars 2018-08-12 22:59

Intro was hilarious, gameplay was a nice twist and loved the steam sale popping up. However the same items keep popping up so after a while it loses the feel a bit, but that didn't ruin the fun! Good work :)

thepattybeast 2018-08-12 23:02

Very cool idea and good choice pairing it with fruit ninja gameplay. I wanted to do something involving running out of hard drive space but never came up with an idea that would work. The game was pretty easy up until the summer sale then I got destroyed. As many others have said adding bomb icons would help a lot as they would prevent randomly swinging your mouse back and forth to win.

dilem 2018-08-12 23:03

Nice work! Short, but feels polished! And it did make me smile :D

stepan-shabalin 2018-08-12 23:06

Great game! I loved the references and overall gameplay. Keep it up!

pedro-m-marangon 2018-08-12 23:08

that's a good game!!! But I think that it needs to be a scoreor something like this

syrapt0r 2018-08-12 23:15

This was really cool ^^ Really nice graphics, simple controls and extremely relatable :D

magicalfeyfenny 2018-08-12 23:23

I'm not sure how to feel about screenshot graphics, though I guess it is the most accurate to windows that you can get?

I also feel like it should've had a loss condition that wasn't just failing to delete (bomb icons as others have mentioned, probably like the system32 folder or something), more icons, etc. but I definitely get not putting it in given the time constraints.

Also, one thing I would've liked to see would be a quicker ramp-up to the summer sale. I feel like it dragged on too long with the same old joke.

sean-doyle 2018-08-12 23:32

Cool Game! I love the steam sales idea. It would have been cool for there to be more difficulty. Maybe you could have a System32 folder come up that would cause a blue screen if you sliced it!

snakemuho 2018-08-13 01:36

If only I could cut Lord Gaben's (praise be) picture for what he did to Half-Life...

rainysolar 2018-08-13 02:33

Software Ninja :laughing: Very interesting!

squirmonkey 2018-08-13 06:05

lololol the summer sale at the end was just the surprise this game needed. I do wish I could cut the games into more than two pieces though, just really slash the devil out of them.

eric-kulbiej 2018-08-13 13:04

Nice game, enjoyed it very much. Keep it up!

bronydell 2018-08-13 13:34

I really like the intro of this game. I think the game speeds up too slow, but everything else is great

dps2004 2018-08-13 20:13

Cool game. I think it could benefit from a bomb, like sys32 or something, but pretty fun!

mironx 2018-08-14 14:08

Nice game, but I'm, kinda, not sure that you are free to use this graphics due to compo rules.

drevilbrain 2018-08-15 01:24

Pretty nice. Though I'm not entirely sure if you can actually use those icons for the compo, but nonetheless a pretty good game, albeit basic.

2020-07-05 23:44

This is the problem with PCs. I advise you to put all of your games and other stuff in a separate partition so the one that your windows is on does not get full. If it gets full your PC will start to lag. What can also help you a lot is one of the optimization tools that can be found on https://thinkmobiles.com/blog/best-pc-optimization-software. I recommend you to use Wise Care 365 because it will delete everything that is malicious to your PC and after that it will work much better. I use it every time my PC starts to lag and it cleans everything quickly.
