In what way does your game fit the theme?
The chaos from the virus that force the game to do some gamebreaking mechanics.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
We made everything from scratch except for the music.

Pretty fun concept, just unsure how I'm losing. I don't really understand how to protect the folders inside the documents, clicking on them doesn't seem to do anything.
The disappearing cursor is a frustrating mechanic especially on a web version and as far as I can tell, doesn't reset when you lose so you have a lot of difficulty restarting the game.
Cool music and presentation.
Thanks for playing. Some of the folders will get infected (they will have a bar under them) around every 10 seconds, you need to click on those folders to fill the bar and recover the folder. If you failed to recover them and the bar gets to zero, it's game over and the game should restart.
I understand that the disappearing cursor might be a bit unfair and I'll see what I can do for next update ^^
The cursor still disappearing on restart is indeed a bug, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'll try to fix it after the jam is over.
wow! really fun and fits the theme perfectly! the music is incredible! For some reason the game would occasionally reset to the tutorial which is weird. Overall really great submission!
Art style and music goes very well,. The gameplay is really chaotic and demands a lot of attention and eye coordination.
My recommendation is to add a random skull that would be a game over, making it more demanding.
Simple style art, but great, and I love the control, its easy to learn the game! Hows mine?
Minimalistic design is good, the game took me back into 90's. We were creating such joke-programs where the 'Close' button was moving away from cursor. We were true hackers lol.
Clicking here and there on viruses bores pretty soon, but still nice game, thank you for my nostalgia.
I like the concept and the OS interface is well made. I absolutely love the music: it motivates the player to play faster. But sometimes the mouse cursor disappears wich makes the gameplay difficult.
Good work!
The mouse disappearing is very, very unfun. Everything else is well-designed. One of the only few games I rated 5 for theme.
This is literally the ultimate definition of chaos. My eyes were everywhere. Love the aesthetic of the game. The music was awesome. Nothing more to say. well-done!
loving the game, my eyes were crazy with all the tasks but that really shown the chaos haha
The chaos of being an antivirus, loving it! It is so hard to focus on everything happening and new things are happening overtime, which ends up quite chaotic indeed! Though as I said, it is quite hard and is not for the faint of heart.
Great entry overall!
In my opinion, the player core movement seemed a little bit slow (although itdoesn't seem to affect too much). Also not really a problem but i was a bit confused on what to do with the folders and stuff, but eventually got it.
Honestly though, this anti virus idea is amazing and also quite fun to play. The graphics and artstyle is simplistic but nice looking.
Overall I would say this is a nice and fun game with a lot of potential!
The music reminds of playing megaman series, nice job on the choice. It really adds to the feel of the game. The game itself is very nice looking and I do love the concept of antivirus fending off viruses. I also love how chaotic it gets as you progress in the game, making this game fit very well to the jam's theme.
I don't know if its just my browser but my mouse keeps disappearing and reappearing a second or 2 later and the game keep restarting after a certain point.
Thank you, we spent a lot of time to choose on the concept and music. Glad you enjoyed it ^^
The mouse keep disappearing is intentional and is one of the random events. The game will restart itself (game over) when any of the folder's bar in system (press the button on top right of the screen to open) gets to zero.
