Love how this game looks and how you play it. One of the best I have played so far. Awesome job!

The artstyle is so peak. You absolutely nailed the OS look. 

There have been plenty of underrated games this jam in terms of art and design, but this one appealed to me the most. Not only do the visuals, art, and sounds combine into a really cool, cohesive game, but it also has a vague MS Paint style that fits the theme really well.

10/10, would install "helpful dog" and this Antivirus before downloading clicking the seventh flashing “DOWNLOAD” button on a sketchy website.

aesthetically this is amazing, it gets its theme across of fighting viruses so well! i think the combat system is an interesting one, i found myself very focused on looking at the circles to begin with, but once you get it down it's a fun system (even if direct attacks are a big distraction from dodging)

I really like this game, the art and the music are amazing! The attack patterns are varied and tough to dodge, and I like the choice of actions, It leads to very tense moments. I enjoyed it a lot!

I LOOOVVVEEEEE THIS ARTSTYLE OMG AND THE CHARACTERS UGHHHH SOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!! the combat system is so unique and hits the countdown theme in two ways which is impressive plus all the actions are well balanced. if only i was better at bullet hells..........

This game is sick !!! It does well in basically every category :D I think the gameplay is very enjoyable, I could see this being fleshed out to a bigger game in the future >.> The art is very cute too !! 

Developer

Thank you so much! I want to believe this game could do alot more in the future too, hehe. I can only hope...

I just love the W95 vibe and the production value on the many bosses is so huge. Correlating the damages to the proximity to 0 is a good idea. But maybe the clock on the thingy to click should do some tick noise or at least start from five so we have time to count down.

The art is incredible.

Very fun mix of bullet hell and timing. I got cooked by the difficulty lol.

Developer

Thanks for playing!! :3

As a cybersecurity graduate and creator of a popular bullethell engine, this game was made for me lol. Love the character design you gave to those malware and their personnality. I didn't quiet get the heal mechanic tho so I got beaten down very fast.

Thanks for playing! Glad you liked the references to historic malware and the bullet hell mechanics

This game is kicking my butt, but I'm having so much fun!!! Every enemy is a blast to fight, and the visuals, from the character designs to the UI, are soooo, sooo good!! I do think that some attacks could use better telegraphing, though. That said, it's definitely one of my favorite entries i've played so far! I'm actually kinda baffled that it doesn't have more ratings, because you guys did a really great job!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed the game, thanks for playing!

the game was great i really really liked the ost od ransomware it was a little challenging but very fun and i love the little fun fact about the viruses too bad you're too focused to read it while you play but it's really stunning to see what you were able to make in only 4 days

Developer

I'm glad you liked the song x3. And yeah Useless Dog be lore dumping on you while fighting for your life.

Norka kinda cute i think

Game is very fun, I enjoy the bullet hell being mixed with timing your attacks just right, the multitasking scratches my brain in a very nice way. I do kinda with the attacks were faster with more telegraphing, though, like if the knives moved at higher velocity but had lines appear that indicated their trajectory. That said, damn this is very impressive for 4 days, good stuff

Damn, this virus is kinda bad

The game is really cool, and fun to play ! But the onboarding was a bit heavy and lacked some gameplay moments so it can be really educational
Beside this, the game is really nice and polished for a gamejam, good job

Defeated all the viruses! Had a great time with this one, and honestly is one of my favorites in the jam so far! Great storytelling, difficulty was just right, and amazing art and music!

This is the most fun game I've played so far! I love that pink girl, but I have to delete her (I'm dying lol).
