Oh man. As a fellow Love2D dev I have to give you props just for your choice of tool. XD

This is a really simple game but it's really dang well put-together. The only thing I can think of to suggest is maybe adding consequences for accidentally clicking on the ads' dreaded buttons - like maybe you download a virus which instantly ends your run, or you open an annoying full-screen pop-up which delays you from dealing with all the others?

Totally unique idea. Funny pop ups and cute art!

bahaha that was hilarious "embarrassed by your fang size?". in terms of the mood and the graphics and the audio, everything blended together really well.

pros:

* graphics were great and fit together well
* audio was just as annoying as real life pop ups
* "hot ancient undead in your area"

cons:

* couldn't read all the pop ups quick enough
* no goals to reach

Art style immediately caught my eye - its so cohesive and well put together! I also like the use of the ticket to show my high score (if I'm not mistaken)? I'm wondering if there's any secrets to discover and additional levels?

(And I got the pun only on my third try :|)

What a coincidence my team also came up with the same idea! We took the ad concept in a slightly different direction but it looks like we both have a similar problem of our ads spawning too fast XD. It was very interesting playing a game similar to mine and looking at the things you did that we could have.

So many popups infuriates me, which means a success for you! Very funny and precise use of the theme. I would love to have seen a fake blue screen of death too, since I remember those from the old days of popups :p

Haha, top marks on humor. Yes, I am embarrassed of my fang size :P

This had a really nice art style. The more pop ups I got, the more nervous I got. Especially when the pop noise ramped up.

Great job!

A game about adware. Great idea! You've got good graphics and a nice but not fancy audio system. It's fun, and pretty much impossible. Good work!

The graphics are great. However I could only achieve a score of 60.

Very nice and polished art and very fun gameplay. It's that kind of game that simply calls you to improve your mark. I would added some kind of punishment for missclicks, but thousands of ads are punishment enought. Cool job! Gonna check that hot ancient in my area.

I liked the style and execution on the theme, but I've seen this game before many times, and would have loved to see you do something else with it.

Certainly one of the better games in this LD. I loved absolutely everything apart from the fact that it was a little bit repetitive.

Got 114. I really like the graphics and feel of this game... It would be more realistic, if some of the X had only one pixel collision:). Great Work!

Nice art! Sad there is no chance to win against the adds.

Nicely done! It's not the first implementation of the internet ads theme, but it's definitely the best one i've seen so far. Sounds are well made and the graphics are too cute to stop clicking on those bloody ads!

HAHAHA, the arts is really good. The popups are really funny.
Only did 83 but it was fun. Had a good time :)

Really short but really funny.

I love this. So much. Even with such a simple conceit the world you constructed is air-tight! Everything feels very cohesive to an internet vampires would use. Impressive!! I love the art style! The game itself was way to hard for me, but I enjoyed reading all of the ads -- I think I like the "Day Owls" one best. Sound is simple but contributes just enough to add to the experience. Great job both of you, this is one of my favorites I've played this time around.

Fun, cute little game. I love the art. This type of game has been done before, but this is a very solid version of that. Overall well done!

As infuriating as real pop-ups! Great work. My only complaint is that the difficulty ramps up VERY fast so the game feels really short. Nice job with the theme!

85!

This are some seriously insane graphics! I'm really amazed with them!

The game is simple, but it works. My main suggestion is to make the score way more visible. At first, I though there wasn't an actual objective to reach.

I like the art of this a lot! Loved the way you handle the start button to be use to start each game, fantastic!

I am not a fun of clickers, but I think you did a really great job. However I wasn't sure if the strategy was just simply going on a clicking frenzy or whether I should be careful and not click on the popups content (since that's what I would try to avoid in real life).

Cool game guys!

The art is amazing and the approach to the theme is really good and original. I just wish I could take my time to read all the popups :p
Congratulations!
