First time I'm joining the compo, I usually go for the jam, but after some practice I were finally able to complete the game within 48 hours, and I even also got some sleep :D

The game were fun to and my take is that you're a virus inside a computer, which for us is pretty small??? (it's all about perspective for this theme I think)

The graphics are pretty simple, I am my self a coder, and not too great with graphics and photoshop stuff, but I did manage to make a few, actually a fair amount of sprites that I am happy for.

You are a virus infecting a pc, destroying memory and killing off memory blocks in a unsuspecting victims PC after he have been looking at naughty homepages (this is not shown in game - Ran out op time :D). there is multiple attacks (which are probably not balanced at all) you can pick from, in the main menu.

Controls:

Move: WASD
Minimap: Tab
Attack(s): 1234

xBox controller is fully supported:

Move: Left stick
Minimap: Right Button (RB)
Attack(s): ABXY

Using the same resource for special moves as for health is quite an interesting concept, but I have to say using WASD for movement and 1234 for attacking is pretty awkward as a keyboard user

This game was more fast paced and more challenging than a lot of games I've played in this jam so far, which was a refreshing change. I would have to agree with mrnyarlathotep in that it was a little hard to use the 1234 keys and wasd together, as they don't really have enough space between the two groups of them to be used comfortably at the same time. Either way it was a enjoyable experience. Well done.

Interesting project which fits with the theme. First time I didnt realize what to do, but then, in the second try, I was able to play a few minutes. Well done. However, it could be improved with more time, but it is good enough. I had fun playing it but maybe controls are too weird. I like mood and aesthetic. Thumbs up ++

PS : I noticed that you didn't rated any game. What did you expect? Respectfully you must rate games so as to receive ratings. I wish you the best.

Interesting to play but terrible on a keyboard.
