Doesn't actually include a mac or linux version, just windows.

The game was overall pretty fun, just one comment: The linux, mac, and Windows versions all lead to the same download site. I had to run the Windows version through an emulator in order to play it. Anyway, the game is pretty cute and I like the theme. I liked the nice rythm brought in by having to move the viruses to the furnace. Some of the controls did feel a bit sluggish, and I wish there was a bit more visual feedback. But overall, pretty good!

Nice game! I'm impressed by all the models you made in such short time. I think overall the game would benefit from a little more visual feedback (e.g. I at first wasn't sure that I put viruses in the furrance correctly), but otherwise it feels quite good.

This game is just delightful! I love it, and that voice acting, amazing. There is just one glitch that the little virus things can spawn inside the computer/mainframe thing.

Never had so much fun debugging a system haha. The game universe is cool, I love the avatar, as well as the camera perspective you choose and the vaporwave type of background music :slight_smile:

The style is great, tutorial was comprehensive, and the game loop felt satisfying. Well Done!

Voice acting in a LD entry is always nice! Seems to take inspiration from Rick and Morty regarding voice and virus look :smile: I didn't realize the computer was attacked from behind too, so I lost because of that...

Really awesome game! Simple to grasp, challenging to play. The voice-acting in the tutorial is brilliant :)

Pretty fun gameplay, I love that there is a comeback mechanic included because if they are a lot of bugs attacking your omputer you can get life back quickly by bringing them to the furnace.
I love that you included dynamic music, I wish the changes were a bit more smooth and less frequent because the full-blown "stressful" music sounded really good but it kept getting cut.
The game started heavily lagging after 7 minutes of game, are you often spawning objects which are never destroyed later ?

@spawnie Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I don't know why the music cuts out when other audio sources are played, mainly the furnace I think. The game spawns in the crystals and caps at 20, but dependent on where the crystals spawn it is possible, and very likely at the higher levels as the enemies spawn more, for the enemies to overwhelm the game and make it lag.

Really funny, great voice acting and pretty solid 3D modeling for a game jam. Had a fun time playing, but was a little confused on where to go at some points. Great work!

Good job on the game. It is a pretty cool concept and it was fun going around and stopping the viruses. I enjoyed the music but it tended to cut out a lot when other sounds were playing. Also the voiced intro was a nice touch. It would be nice if there was more feedback for interacting with the viruses but overall well done.

New approach for "debugging" and neutralizing computer viruses.
