#### Gameplay * I always liked games where you both need to think and manage your time and your game does exactly it. Sometimes file names were confusing but in general everything is really good.
#### Graphics * It has some issues with resolution and textures but you managed to create old windows like UI :)
#### Theme * Deleting files that flood your computer space. Exactly matching theme :)
#### Overall * Interesting concept and cool gameplay (ive spent about 20 minutes its very good for infinite jam game) * The game is a bit lacking of graphics but its ok for jam
Thank you two so much for the comments! @freezedice @alexkarate I'm still very new to everything so thanks a lot for mentioning the problem with the textures and the resolution, I'll definitely look into that! :)
I must admit when I saw the startscreen I thought "man, I'm not gonna like this". Instead, it's a really interesting game! I like the gameplay mechanics, I like the idea and the humor (the blue screen never gets old :laughing: ). The major issue for me is that I didn't like the graphics enough, but I must say that they got the old windows theme perfectly, so good job for that. Solid entry guys, you deserve more visibility.
I couldn't really get into the game because my first language isn't English. Some wording are quite confusing, and figuring out what relate to what creates a steep learning curve for me. Adding some thumbnails will help me learn the game at a faster rate.
A fun little game! The graphics could do with a little bit of polish, and some of the file names didn't exactly match the theme/occupation I was given so it was a bit deceiving, but otherwise well done!
Man that startscreen blinded me, and some of the files were abit confusing. The game however was quite fun and if polished more can be nicely taken up a step.
Thank you for 5stars good sir i will return the favor! Sketch (9).png
I like the game idea. Audio is very nice too. But my first language isn't English and I had a bit troubles with some file names, so some icons would help a lot. Anyway good job!
At first, I thought that the game is too easy, but after some time it began to require a lot of attention to all properties of the files. I liked the idea of gradually introducing new game mechanics and challenges. It enables new players to easily understand what to do and later it becomes more demanding :wink:
I also really enjoyed that the game is a bit different each time, since your character's interests and occupation are randomly generated. I loved the fact that you can mute the game through the taskbar and that the wallpaper is adjusted to your preferences :smile:
Unfortunately, I had some issues with UI scaling. I'm using a 21:9 aspect ratio monitor. DesktopDisaster - UI scaling issue.jpg
Nice take on the theme and the learning curve and tutorial were great! I wish there was a game over if you have a score that is too low because at some point I just put the files in whatever folder just to keep playing. It's nice to have the user's profile to help you choose the files. Good job, nice game!
Pretty solid entry! While the graphics aren't particularly amazing, the gameplay was actually pretty fun and challenging.
Nice game! interesting graphics :thumbsup:
