Unexpectedly creative game! Little linux fighting against micr**oft while taking back control literally... This idea is impressive:) Nice job! The sound effect and music also fit the game, too. Good luck on the jam!

Thanks a lot.........
Awesome job on the creativity here! Theme fits perfectly too! I left you a rating. Please give our game jam game a play if you have a minute.
Whoa, that's a creative use of the theme! Like what Idiot Hippo said, it started like a generic game until the evil Windows started to hijack my controls until I could no longer defend myself properly. Also, I liked how the Windows went "Yoink" whenever they stole my controls.
At first, I thought it was a generic game (not that Penguin vs Windows is normal), but then I started noticing some buttons didn’t work, and that’s when I understood the game’s concept — such a brilliant idea. The penguin sprite is super cute too.
5 Star for You, very unique and somehow satisfying when you see the blocks breaking and the background is really cool, the sound effect is just right even though when it hits the block there is a rather strange sound, overall it is extraordinary
How to play ? What to do ? Is it not for mobile :(
If you got a min give a try to mine :)
I got to say that is a unique and fun concept to play. I enjoyed it a lot. I was thinking the aiming should be better with mouse but no its not cause if its taken or disabled then you have no way of shooting.. Fun concept bro.
If you don't mind please consider checking out mine. thank you.
Lol that was a funny game! The visuals might not be the strongest, but the game loop and design are actually a really solid arcade setup. High rating from me on theme and fun factor :D
I know we only had 9 days, but with this idea you’ve got, I can see it going crazy if you add power-ups or perks. This has a lot of potential to become super fun!
Thanks! I would have loved to team up with an artist for this, but didn’t have time to organise that on top of getting the game working so ended up relying quite a bit on asset store material. It would definitely be nice to expand the idea in future. If I did add power-ups, I’d probably make them another thing to defend (so you get a shield or some kind of super-shot, but they’re activated using a button that can be stolen just like the others).
Great game! The idea of restricting the controls was amazing! The game is fairly addicting too. The art also looks good.
really nice implementation of "take controll" Yoink!
great little fun game
I so much love the idea that enemy takes away your controls! So simple yet very strong game mechanic. Very well done!
Amazing game to play, got 3rd place but it wasnt easy! i love the simplicity of it and the concept of literally taking your controls to play is a wonderful touch, good job!

Amazing. I love the audio and sliding effect. Once I understood that I had to protect my keys - The explanation needs a little bit rewrite - I had a great time.
