Who didn’t have the dream yet to delete recklessly on someone else’s good trusty Windows XP machine. Both the artwork as well as the many scattered files across the desktop bring so many memories! Not to forget the unforgiving “are you sure” dialog, which drove so many of us crazy. Let’s get to work - let’s clean up!!
My best Score 86!
Feedback on the game mechanics
The controls are horrible. I’m aware that the horrible UX is the challenge in this game though ;)
I can see some interesting potential here: what about different file types have different effects? If you deleted the red one you get more time. If you deleted another kind you get some defense against the… defender. Allow the folders to be closed with an X, because it offers an interesting decision: go through the pain of deleting the content, or are the valuable files somewhere else? If you delete some system files, the horrible confirmation dialog finally disappears (power up!), and yet another system file allows you to delete files with a single click, unleashing your destructibility!
This game got potential! And I love the references to the cluttered windows desktop :D
