There is no audio at all except for a small blip when you get hurt. Would've made it a lot better if the game was less silent.

Great idea with the blue screen! And the Defender... I know what you mean, it really got me.

The mouse movement was so smooth even with heaps of bullets on the screen! I liked how you could make patterns with it. The shooting backwards was kinda hard to get used to also the difficulty scales up like crazy. I got lucky and got a lot of upgrades so could last a bit but in the end there we like 10 skulls on the screen and it was impossible hahah. Cheers!

I remember some of these viruses! Visuals are really smooth and striking! Gameplay lacks a bit in feedback in terms of knowing when you're hitting enemies and they're hitting you. Also audio would've done a lot for this game. Good effort!

Enjoyed the feel of the controls and the responsiveness, maybe a little more feed back on hits and damage on the targets would have been good. Some more audio might have helped.

A very solid 2D shooter. Great work for the time frame.

Cool idea! The game reminded me of some great moments removing viruses from computers in the past.

Not bad at all. It might just be me, but i was slightly confused as to why i was shooting behind me. I loooooved making patterns on the black screen. Another tip : make the cursor health more easily readable or tie it together with the PC health. :) Thanks for the submission, good stuff!

I love the aesthetic, controls were a bit challenging on a trackpad but nice game.

I like the game and the aiming made the game quite a challenge. Only problem is that there is n health bar or anything so you don't know how muh health you have

That was a really challenging game to play. However, I think you should add some sound effects to make the game more appealing, and can you please make the aiming a bit easier? :( I died so quickly tho

It is very good to remove viruses from the computer, if you put music it would be cooler!

The shooting is the opposite direction to what I expected, which was a bit confusing at first, but once I got used to it it was pretty interesting. Really needs some more audio, but a fun game otherwise.

Nice game but pretty difficult. I liked the RAM upgrade though. Was cool to shoot two waves of bullets at once and was a much needed upgrade. The trojan horse was really tanky and I think some visual feedback on the enemies getting hit would be useful.
The mouse aim direction would have been better the other way around too.

Game was fun! Just needs some tweaking here and there

This is a very interesting bullet hell ! Quite challenging and lovely art, nice entry !

I love the bullets, they are very fluid it feels good to shot!
It's kind hard though, took me a few minutes to get used to it. And you probably know how to improve things here, but a music and more effects would make it great.
Great submission! (I don't know if there's an end to it, but after a while I just couldn't handle everything and died :D)

Very good concept!

I think the aiming is really too confusing. The game also lacks of feedback with sounds and animations for damages.

I liked the different viruses you implemented, well done!
