So happy to see a Miku entry!!! The drawings are super cute and the gameplay is fun and on theme! I liked all the minigames but some did take a little bit of time to figure out how to complete (I'm still a little confused about how to fix the wifi haha). Very cute and fun over all! Great work guys!

Crazy game! Felt like a fever dream

Screenshot 2026-04-24 123236.png I did it!! The song did a great job of stressing me out and all the text was a bit overwhelming at first, especially since there was a timer counting down but I suppose that's part of the fun. Very nice concept and well done!

A fun little moment of chaos. Nice work!

It's a very cool game, I tried to play it 2 times, but it didn't work out more than once (I had a cycle of breaking my hard drive and a set of endlessly appearing captcha), I really liked the idea.

I will say this in the nicest way possible - FK this little gremlin -

What an amazing game - took me three tries - and I was EXTREMELY invested. Great grades all around!

Fun game! Miku's behaviour seems too random though, sometimes you'll get cycles of captcha + her going in the folders instantly at the same time and it becomes impossible

cedaoan 2026-04-26 10:36

Nice concept! I got invested XD. I don't know if I'm missing something, but it was kinda hard to find Miku in the folders, since there were many folders and I had to check each of them manually. But overall I like the gameplay and the music! Funnn

Great game idea. Respectfull implementation! Main character behaviour funny :)

aniretti 2026-04-28 11:36

oh! we had a very similar idea to Ludum Dare 54 (the "Limited Space" theme), where you had to free up space on your computer and you were constantly getting all kinds annoying spam :D but unfortunately, we weren't able to implement the game in time because it was our first jam. im glad to see someone was able to implement a similar idea.

i love music and your interpretation of the theme! great entry!

profugo-barbatus 2026-04-28 13:29

@aniretti Glad you enjoyed it! I actually made something in a similar vein for LD54 as well, https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/the-heap

profugo-barbatus 2026-04-28 13:30

@cedaoan Didn't have time to implement any specific indicators, was thinking about making occupied folders wobble some when she's being a gremlin in them. Instead she's sneaky, so you just gotta go digging. And of course, she's always in the last place you look, right?

profugo-barbatus 2026-04-28 13:31

@bananplyte Glad you enjoyed it! she's a little devil, but that makes it all the more satisfying when you manage to get past her, even when she gets cheeky and chains a captcha with a deep file dive.

profugo-barbatus 2026-04-28 13:34

@mr-sun With the Wifi, you just need to drag her far enough away from its icon on the taskbar to stop her. Unfortunately, she was also a little gremlin to me, and her AI regularly skipped the "Go to the wifi to eat" part of it and skipped right to eating, she'd pick it up halfway across the screen just to spite you. Did mean she would immediately drop it when confronted though.

Who woulda thought that designing an evil entity would lead to it striking back at me as well :pensive:

This is so cute!! Instant flashback to making my own little Shimeji type characters on my desktop haha. Miku's animations are great and I especially like how she speeds up sometimes like a true little gremlin to eat some files. Really great work - super simple concept done really well with a good amount of variety!

tobius 2026-04-30 02:15

The music track was great, well done! I also liked the variety of mischief miku would get up to. Kept me on my toes!

One improvement would be a simple sound effect when clicking on things or when different things would happen. Like a disconnect noise when the wifi goes out for example.

alekcey-ovalnyi 2026-05-07 20:57

It's a really cool idea, but it's not convenient to navigate through folders, sometimes you have to click 3-4 times on a folder to go inside.
