Nice game! It gives off the vibe that I intended my game to give XD. But this is actually working. I like the multitasking nature of trying to manage all this conditions. It is quite hard. I also like the music. Keep up the good work!

@venitherich I played your game earlier, and thought "This is really similar to our game" haha!

The game keeps crashing when the "PAT ME HUMAN" windows pop up.

Other than that, I love what you're going for in this game. I wish it was more clear what I needed to do to fix the certain conditions. Needs sound effects, but the gameplay is cool and fresh.

Also it's very impressive that you made this entire thing with just plain old code and didn't use an engine or anything. Very good work.

I get the same crash when the pat me shows up. It hit me when I was mousing over the trojan icon if that helps. Fun little sim game. I enjoyed it and I have a soft spot for python programs. Well done getting so much done in 3 days.

@david-bohan @psychic-ash Thanks for your reviews, I really appreciate it!
About the crash, that's intended. When you fail to treat the patient in time, you get a lot of errors and the game ends(window closes). Maybe I should have put a "Game over" screen there, sorry if that confused you.

This is really smart stuff. Love the satirical nature of it, great job!

Fun multi-tasking minigame. I like that not all items matter at once because of the disease system. A leg up on some other games in this vein I've played. Like the style. Ending with a crash wasn't ideal, but I see the appeal. Maybe set something up where it fakes a crash, then gives you a reset screen.

Interesting take. It would be nice if there was a message that came on once you restarted the game at the cause of the last crash, like a "log" feature. I enjoyed it.

Great game!

I really enjoyed it! The slowly rising difficulty was perfect. It had the perfect amount of simultaneous tasks, not too few, not to many. Some sounds would have been great. And I agree with @maindric on a log at the end

And could you pack your game as a .zip instead? I didn't have 7zip installed

Nice multitasking game and spin on the theme.

I like the multitasking concept. And when it crashed, the game literally closed haha.

There is a movie genre - screenlife. Your game is making the same vibe which so cool. I wish you the best of luck :)

I like a good windows screen gets linux os themed fedora viruses haha.
I do wish I could see scores in the end even if it breaks the whole meta computer analogy a bit since I can't really tell how I did.
Not sure if this was just me but I really wanted to be able to "put back" a tool that I picked up on accident and didn't use.
