Dabug by Devark
A crazy and fun arcade shooter where you play as a cheeky data-killing virus called Dabug! Currently only has an Endless Arcade mode with increasing difficulty. Ironically, this version may have some bugs. They've been fixed in the current version I have but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to update the files here.

loving the artstyle, arcade style gameplay is quite fun
@krain, I've asked a lot of people to try the game out and none of them, including me, has gotten an error. Where did it happen and how?
The graphics and sounds that are in there are nice, it has a very polished feel to it.
I was really hoping it would start using GB, TB and so on as my score got higher, it really felt like that was going to be a thing. Still, a great overall entry :D
@YM, that actually sounds like a good idea. I had a lot more ideas for the campaign version but simply ran out of time. Hmm... the game should keep getting harder until around 30000, but if you reach that high it gets really hectic.
Thanks for all the feedback!
It's quite hectic at the start with all the splitters, and then goes insane at 15k+ when all the turrets spawn.
This game is very well done and very enjoyable, thanks!
Really nice work!
The game felt really solid and was quite fun to play, the graphics were aesthetically pleasing and the sound was awesome, but it felt somewhat empty without a soundtrack. If you continue to work on this, I would definitely buy it!
Nice work!
Cool game, but the progression is too slow :b
Game is polished and quite fun!
Some objects appeared later on with a timer near them, what did those do? I couldn't really figure out what they did.
Little tip for accessibility and the WASD front for the future, some folks have different keyboard layouts, and some us us, like me unfortunately were born left handed. It's good to have the arrows, or at least alternatives, as an option. But not held against you :)
Good work.. Thanks!
I'm so stoked that everyone's mostly been enjoying this! Makes the sacrificed sleep worth it :p

I love the name, Dabug! The graphics are VERY well suited and crisp. I started playing and found the controls to be really smooth and articulate. The player feedback was very satisfying, and I was really surprised when I was hoping to myself that there would be power-ups and more substantial abilities and suddenly, they appeared! :D Like my prayers had been answered!
I do agree that the explosion sounds are a little loud and jarring (I did have to turn down my volume a bit, as they were exploding my eardrums a little), and it needs a bit of background music, but that is my ONLY little teeny tiny gripe about it. The rest of it was really fantastic! :)
