Simple idea with nice implementation :thumbsup: Would be cool if there was upgrades, so I could select multiple penguins and drop them to trash bin in bulk :D

But in general, pretty nice

Not much game there to be honest, but what's there is super charming. I had to actually screenshot the boot screen to read the whole thing. BTW. I'm not sure whether this's a stab at Win, Linux or both :laughing:

@kukurammus, @secretpocketcat, that was fast! I've just uploaded the final version with somewhat fixed balance and some other fixes. Anyway, thank you for playing! :thumbsup:

I'm gonna go hit the sack, it's so 5 a. m., I need some sleep... X_X

Also, @secretpocketcat, that were both! :D Strangely, I enjoy both aesthetics and no-one was there to stop me from adding them both. :-P

Solid entry in experience, feel, look, and crazy pengiuns. I loved the old feel and sounds were fun. I had a difficult time maintaining my click and drag and too late I discovered you could delete large files. xD

I have never been so infuriated by a cute flightless bird in all my life. Best I could do was 187 points. What kind of mid-90s hellscape have you created here? :laughing:

In all honesty, it was great. Super simple idea that was executed really well with a cohesive art style and good level of challenge! Well done!

Absolutely friggin' insane -- I loved it! Well done!

Oh my god what did I just play :D It was REALLY awesome. The boot screen immediately sucked me into the universe of the game, and it quickly felt like I was fighting against an old school MSN-era virus. Although way more funny since it's not destroying your actual computer. This one will stay in my mind for a long time. Great job :)

Well, didn't see that coming :-D The concept is nice and fit well with the theme, the graphics and UX definitely have a windows 95 feeling, it's innovative, well made and the music adds a nice retro touch to the experience ! Also, penguins messing up on my desktop was as unexpected as it was fun :-D

I got 507 points so far \o/

Unexpected way to fit the theme! I played a few games, it's catching! It's hard to move only one file, feeling like the click detector only works on names (but I soon discovered the best way of moving files is selecting them all) Great game! Congratulations!

Very creative, such a different game from everything else I played so far

kristoph 2021-10-08 13:54

Nice graphics and music! I wish the sound effects were a bit quieter tho. There's also not much to do, it gets a bit repetitive but the lagging effects are really well done. I really wanted to punch those damn penguins, so good job.

likirus 2021-10-08 13:55

Very well made. The penguins are extremely cute, well animated, and their sound effects are hilarious (I love penguins in general, so I might be biased). The game is an interesting take on the theme, it could almost be a representation of how my desktop goes from clean to unusable within a few weeks ^^ Overall amazing submission :)

Hey another fellow penguin dev :D Nice touches with the BIOS text and I'm really happy to see the drag select working, a feature that I've been disappointed to see missing in almost all the desktop simulators here! The penguins and sounds are super cute as well, had a good time!

nardandas 2021-10-09 03:46

Really cool idea, I really appreciated the windows XP theming! I don't know if it's me being weird or the game, but it seemed I had to click on files then click again to drag them. If that were fixed, it'd be a lot more fun to play!

lazyseal 2021-10-09 14:53

Simple funny game ^-^ I like sounds of penguins)

slavi 2021-10-09 14:55

Wow ho man I hate penguins now xD It's like they saying in french "à l'aide" that mean "help". I finish the game with 852 points but I killed my self because this sound is totally awful xDDD Really great job !

raphiell 2021-10-09 15:33

Hilarious idea, but unfortunately it gets tiring fast, I'm glad I played it though, was very funny. It would be interesting if some of the files the penguins tossed out were upgrades or other interesting content.

Well done!

And this is how Linux gets it's revenge on Windows! Although apparently Windows rebranded as DoggOS. The penguins were adorable, and I love some of the filenames listed on the files the penguins took out, lots of little easter eggs there! The sound effects were also cute and the game was fun to play! Great job!

yikescloud 2021-10-11 16:06

The penguin animation and sound is so adorable, I love it! Got a score 148, The game is so funny! Linux penguin dominate the world!

Interesting game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 49 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/x_dDMWkmRHA
