Awesome game. One of the most aesthetically pleasing in the jam. My biggest complaint was it didn't seem abundantly clear what I had to do with the main virus. I tried running around and deleting it and then just spamming it with shots. Eventually it died from one of them, but I'm still not sure which.

Thank you for your feedback :)  Yesss, you give an important point, it should have a better indication about the virus health. It got 5 health actually (5 shots). I had that in mind to add enemy health UI, but at that time I found a new major bug in the core mechanic, then I totally forgot to add the UI.

Btw, are you RubberDucky in the discord group? Thanks for your info about jfxr, all of the sound effects in this game were made using it. And I think it turns out to be good :)

Submitted

Yeah, I am. This game is perfectly suited for those kinds of sounds. :D

This game have the only 5 stars in Theme I gave on this jam.

Developer

Thank you very much :)

Really like the start with the code and stuff and the bluescreen when you fail. Was weird that you could run on the blackness I was expecting I was gonna fall down. Fun tough!

Developer

Thank you for playing :) Actually there is a blue semi transparent floor but I think I made it too faded. I wanted the player to be able to see the pcb board background, because I think it was beautiful. But yes, I should have given better indication to the player that it is walkable.

awesome. Almost had a qq moment when I saw the blue screen. Thanks!

Developer

Thanks for playing, I hope you had a good time :) Sorry if the fake blue screen shocked you.

Submitted

I liked this alot! As a programmer, I like the whole virus attacking your system theme and look. That blue screen of death was a nice touch haha. I really liked the intro screens that explained the different viruses too. Really well done! Would love to see more levels in the future :)

Developer

Thanks a lot :D  Fun fact, the idea of using blue screen of death came because I got a lot of it during the jam, due to a memory problem that I haven't fix yet. And 4 days before submission, I got it again and in addition, my unity scene got corrupted and I have to remake the scene. In my frustration, I got the idea. lol.

This was amazing! What a great introduction and asthetics. It's a shame that you can complete the actual game in less than 30s. I would have loved to get more levels. But very very good job :)

Developer

Thank you for your feedback :) I agree, should have made more levels. If this prototype has good potential, I surely will continue this project.

Cool game, many explosions. 

Developer

Yeess, the explosions ware inspired by megaman series (especially when the main virus is destroyed). Thank you for playing :)

Developer
