Simple, but very elegant. Great idea and execution.

If you're on your desktop, spamming "TAB + Enter" is an optimal strategy though.

I had a brief moment of building rage until fortunately it closed on it's own. I was so worried that you were going to make me close all of them. Great prank lol

Haha it looks like we should add a line telling you that you can just close the terminal. Anyway, thanks for your comments!

Hahaha! I bet a lot of people got cold feet after looking at that cover image!

Cheeky "game".

How does the executable randomize where the pop-ups appear?  And you really should mention that the onslaught of those error messages ends if you close the terminal window.

Developer

Hi! We appreciate your comment. Positions are just random numbers from 200 <= x <= (screen_width - 200) and 90 <= y <= (screen_height - 120). We didn’t use full width and height so that the pop-ups won’t be too close to the border and can be fully displayed most of the time. My friend and I have little experience in game development so we had to improvise. Anyway, thanks for your comment!
