ANTI-VIRUS by Kitty553

[raw]
made by Kitty553 for LD35 (JAM)
Protect Your Computer From Viruses...
That's pretty much it.

IMPORTANT:
TO START THE GAME, NARROW IN THE GAME WINDOW ON THE START BUTTON.

ANOTHER NOTICE:
THIS GAME WAS PROGRAMMED TO PLAY ON A SCREEN WITH A RESOLUTION OF 1920x1080.
IF THE GAME SEEMS TO NOT BE FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, CHANGE YOUR RESOLUTION TO 1920x1090.
If your screen's resolution is less than this resolution, then the game probably won't work correctly, regardless of what you do.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Use WASD to change the position of the Game Window
- Use the bottom left button to change the size of the Game Window
- Zoom in on enemies and power-ups to collect them.
- That's pretty much it.

This was really cool! I don't think I've ever played a game that actually involves moving the game window around as a game mechanic. Incredibly innovative.

Yo jcmonkey. To start the game, you have to narrow in the game window around the Start Button. Sorry if that was confusing. I added it in the description

Man, this is a pretty interesting idea. That said, I had a rough time. It was hard to figure out that zooming in + centering on enemies was what killed the enemies. It also took me forever to get out of the store menu, maybe that's why some people say they can't get past the main menu.

Very clever, it's so close!

It looks interesting, but even after the start screen there's just a thing that says "Click me" and when you click it, it takes you to a store. And you can't buy anything, and there's no way to exit. What are you supposed to do? -- WASD, clicking, etc. don't work there. :-/

When I start the game, there's a thing that says Click me, and it opens up a shop screen from there -- I'm not sure what to do next or how to get out of it.

@BrainSlugs83 Did you click the text in the shop that says 'Back'?

Would have really liked to play this... I changed my resolution and everything to try and play the game, but it didn't work...

Love the concept.

That blue screen sure was scary! :)

I'm scared to run it, it's asking for admin privileges. O_o

@Dmitrix A good rule of thumb is that if other people were able to run it, it probably isn't a virus.

Awesome! I didn't expect moving the window to be a mechanic, very innovative. The blue screen of death was a nice touch.

I loved the game over screen!

This was a very clever interpretation of the theme.

@kitty553 Wow, I just got home and played it and I'm really sorry now. At first I didn't realize why your screenshots included the entire desktop. Also didn't realize it was a Game Maker installer that need run as admin. Love the concept!

Alt + Print Screen takes a screenshot of the window you are focused on :) Hope I could help.

Great concept! Cool graphics and really innovative! A little hard to pass the menu and understand how to play, so maybe some more instructions? Also a bit too hard for me, couldn't beat it xp

Anyways, great entry!

The concept is interesting, but the controls felt weird.

hmm, really cool game, it is a shame that it has to install though. wasn't very clear what to do at first either. Still great concept and execution

Extremely innovative. XD
Although I did have problems with controlling the window because it would go off my screen. Also, the game was a bit hard.

Very cool idea! A bit hard to play on linux, as the contents of the game window are not visible, when it is resized. It's playable, though. Maybe an option to use the arrow keys to resize the window would be good.

Wow, very innovative use of screen space, I really like the idea. Kudos for being brave enough to upload a file to Dropbox called ANTI_VIRUS.exe. Dat end game screen tho. ;)

Great job!
