Amazing Work!

I really like the concept of this, and the voice acting in the tutorial is fun. I just feel like there isn't much gameplay right now, since you pretty much just wait around for the RAM to get high enough to load each part of the level, and close the applications when they appear. I think there needs to be some sort of strategy or something, like trying to keep the player from leaving. Overall, though, this is a good start.

I love the game idea of you being the task and resource manager. It's slick.

It would be nice have to something else to do that is more actively engaging along with loading the RAM and closing tasks as the popped up. I found myself sitting and waiting for the available RAM to go up.

It's fun seeing the level load over time as you fill the RAM. Like to see where you could take this!

Good game!

Bro if my computer started closing applications to free up ram I'm not stopping at just closing the game

Looks very nice and loved the tutorial bit. I need more of that motherboard! The comments were also pretty fun :) However, I'm lacking a little bit of strategy or so. Currently it's just click what comes available whenever it becomes available. Also, being able to see how many of something you have to load, might be nice! Love the sound and art though! Nicely done!

Hilarious, all the intro stuff and the little prompts on the left when a hogging app pops up are really funny. Game looks awesome too. I wish there was a little more to the gameplay though, there didn't seem to be any strategy to getting a better time other than close the hogging apps as quickly as possible. Game didn't scale in between levels to get harder or anything. Adding some sort of mechanic to create strategy with the economy of the ram could make this game great. I still really loved it regardless!

Oh, and, almost forgot. Love the modulated + sped up version of the music in the menu versus the in level one. Really cool!
