I like the windows 95/98 windows explorer vibe. Being inside a computer and going through the different rooms was genius.
I really like the digital enemies. Short, Sweet and no messing about to the point

DoctorFloppyComputerStoreOn theme and visually fantastic, but as far as gameplay its shoot 5 times and keep moving. I wish there was more to do but clearly time and effort went into its visuals and overall polish. I think this world would be more interesting with characters to talk to.

The SourceYeah, this is a good point actually. I wish I had spent more time on gameplay factors and less on graphics -- for whatever reason I always struggle to find that balance and end up putting way too much focus into visuals and the gameplay usually suffers. I may go back and try to expand it a little once the jam is over, I like the basic idea and I'd hate to let it languish as a half-baked jam submission. Thank you for playing and reviewing it!!
Ok, I cannot stress this enough, I think this has some of the best graphics of this jam. I love how you incorporated the Windows maze screensaver and other OS-related imagery. It scratches a part of my brain that I cannot describe - the models, the animations, the HUD even, just wow...

Dungeon DroidThank you so much, that's so nice to say and I'm really glad you liked it! I did a surprising amount of reference gathering while making this, and there's quite a few nods to that era and its style. It's one of my all time favorite aesthetics for games, or anything really, and I'm glad to see other people like it too. Thank you for playing my game!
