A very creative approach. I share other commenter's view about controls - hints should be in the game interface, otherwise an interesting and nicely delivered concept!
Thanks! I'll keep this in mind for future games and updates!
I think the concept is interesting and quite unique. The art is cool!
I had to go back and forth the game and page as the controls took some time to understand. It would be nice to have the instructions displayed somewhere in game.
This was very creative! I really like the humor and artstyle in this one. Nice work!
Thanks!
Took me a while to understand what I had to do, but that makes it a interesting take on the limitation!
Thanks!
Wow such a cool and unique take on the limitation! I had a lot of fun trying to figure out what to do.
Thanks!!
I was fascinated by this game!! I really liked trying to figure out how the hell to afford any of the anti-virus software (I think the bear generates fat stacks, my failed runs I was relying on emails). Its definitely a series of unpredictable rule-sets, I was kinda hoping that detectR would give me some clues as to what all the viruses did! Since it's pretty tough to figure out just from their behavior/appearance. All the programs/icons are really cute and the aesthetic is just plain cool, one thing I did find was I could only zoom in on the center of the screen which i'm not sure was intentional? Really unique entry, I enjoyed it a lot.
Tysm!! I was originally going to make a guide post on the in-game forums but there wasn't enough time, as for the zoom, that's on me, I always kinda struggle making it.
scrunkly lil file guys! i love all the little nods to classic viruses like "you are an idiot". i will say it took me a bit to figure out the loop and im still not great at making money but i love the core concept here.
Thank you! I was planning to have an in-game guide inside the forums (in Doogle) to help out players, unfortunately I didn't have enough time to do so.
Really fun submission! I loved this concept for the limitation
Thank you so much!
