Loved this! Clippy as the helpful assistant, the Minesweeper mine as the virus, the terminal where you actually type touch helloworld.txt, and the Windows 95 "Level Completed" dialog with folders all land perfectly. Typing real commands to defend the CPU is a really fresh take on tower defense. One small thing: my first touch got "unknown command" because I hadn't selected a tile yet, a hint in the terminal message itself would avoid that. Great entry!
What a throwback! Literally the roots of my gaming career all bundled into one game. Love the tab completion feature as well. Brings me the joy of sitting in front of my terminal all day. On point for the theme as well.
Excellent job!
Wow that's amazing ! Wasn't excepting a typing game and tower defense this way. Even the graphics are great. Congrats
Windows 95 hits hard, ngl!
Nice game tbh, without tab would be a typing competition (and I don't type fast enough). I'd like that maps can have multiple paths, with viruses avoiding the created files, since I can spam a lot of files.
But nice entry, I literally said "Absolute cinema!" when I heard that nostalgic sound! 🤣
Nice entry!
Very nice game. The Windows 95 graphic is really cool. The Tab was a life saver, could not have done it without it Great job!
amazing job, the atmosphere is something nostalgic and i love it
Loved this one! Typing `touch helloworld.txt` to drop files on the virus path feels clever, and the Clippy tips plus the cooldown make timing a real puzzle. The retro Windows pixel art is charming too! Well played!
Loved the game. Not sure if it's allowed to use Microsoft sounds.
Awesome concept, you came up with a wonderful idea.
Cool spin on tower defense! The levels and very nice retro visuals made it feel like a complete package, maybe missed some music though!
Given the game hints, you were going for gameplay where the player must match what files to place but because of auto-complete nothing really stopped me from just spamming the strongest file, so it feels like that design part didn't hold. I'd think it could work making strict enemy type strengths and weaknesses, for example, mydog.png beats medium virus but fails against any other type.
I enjoyed it either way, nice work!
I loved Win95 graphics and the game itself:) plus Clippy!! Such a throwback, wow
