How does the game fit the theme?
A surreal boss fight against a living computer monitor.
Inspired by early web visuals, where everything sounds and feels off putting. feels.. strange even.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
only the musics and sfxs, credits in the game page

This is wonderful! It fits the theme perfectly, and the soundtrack is fantastic. I loved it!
The boss mechanics are confusing. It isn't clear when the boss can be attacked
it's a pc it's vulnerable when it's on BSOD ma dude there's even an audio cue for it, but if that's still not clear for you I would love to hear a suggestion for what to add/change to make it more obvious
I tried it before, but couldn't beat the boss then. Tried it again today, but got this error on launch:
But the experience I remember was stylish as hell, cool visuals too. Fill tool though stood out to me for some reason hehe
Would like to see smiley go to other strange places and beat other
mc agentsbosses. Merlin perhaps? ;)there should be 2 files like this
I'll guess that the .pck file is missing or misplace(it would have to be in the same folder like in the picture) if you can't find it you'll have to just re-download it or just play the web version
glad you enjoyed it tho, however there are currently no plans for future content update
I love the style of this It's super original and the game is fairly challenging and fun. Good job! :)
Super fun and addictive game! The visuals, sound effects, and gameplay all work really well together, and the difficulty feels challenging in a good way. Frustrating enough to keep me coming back for “one more try.” The virus popups were hilarious. Awesome job, especially for a jam!
This is my favourite !! The gamplay is addictive, the audio is perfect and the visuals as well. everything really works together. I'd love to play a longer version with different boss and ennemies maybe get powerups but with such a short time all the existing work is fantastic. The difficulty is just right, it's very frustrating but it makes me keep playing. I would have liked a score based on how many ennemies you killed or how long you survived but yea anyway this is sooo cool !! :D
glad you enjoyed the game and thanks for the feedback, I'll considered adding a stats board at the end screen
Nice game, good job ! :)
thank you! >:3
Great spritework and great sound effects! Had a blast playing!
fun fact : the boss mouth sfx is literally ME, like that's MY voice(or whatever you call the noise) with a distortion fx
A really fun challenge, except for when stuff spawns inside of you. Also I managed to kill the folders with one swing a few times.
glad you enjoyed it >:3c ,
but they shouldn't be able to spawn on top of the player(albeit the range where they can't spawn is pretty small so some attack like the DVD might be almost unavoidable), but since I see a couple of people feels like some attack are unavoidable, I will update the attacks spawn to increase the spawn range a lil further away from the player (only for some attacks).
also ye I forgot to add I-frames to the folder. oops many thanks for spotting that so I can update a fix
Really fun ! good job !
glad you had fun playing it!
I really liked your game! A+
thanks! :3
The pop ups made me laugh and the boss is terrifying. Nice entry!
Had a few enemies spawn directly on top of me which felt kinda unfair, maybe you can force some distance when spawning them?
