This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive

(may not load correctly).
Destroy your own image (Legal: will not actually destroy any image you load into the game). A 'classic' side-scrolling shoot'em up (shmup) where you destroy the pixel bits of your own image or the default one. Runs best in Google Chrome (Firefox - bit choppy).
NOTE: Don't load images larger than 256x256... will result in some fun stuff... like screens not showing properly... or if its a large image tons of 'loading' time in the beginning.
Also NOTE: Your images do NOT get uploaded anywhere they are only loaded into the browser for processing on the client side.
Controls:
Movement - aswd and/or arrows
Shoot - Spacebar
The game will take your image process its pixels and out put a unique game for your entertainment. It will take a count of how many pixels you have destroyed and of what color. In the end it will show you how destroying those pixels affected your image.
This was my first game ever created and also my first ludum dare. :D
Edit: To address the theme I will explain a bit of my thought process here, I didn't want to go for the straight and obvious choice. My solution was to allow you to become the monster by corrupting your own images... we all know how much computer crashes and viruses suck so I was trying to imitate that in a game.
