Fix an unstable, virus riddled, operating system.



I started this game with absolutely no idea of what I was making, and I haven't had much time to work on it. I was going with either a virus or malicious AI type scenario. I only decided on what the 'game' part will actually be about 3 hours before submission time. As such it's completely unbalanced, buggy, and very very easy to win. But I'm thinking any bugs just add to the unstable theme!

General Idea: Scan through and destroy any infected files. You purchase upgrades to speed things up - much too fast! That's pretty much it :D

There are several elements that are useless, mostly because I wasn't sure what I was actually making!

I have learned how NOT to start a game project, so that's at least something. I also learned a fair bit about the UI in Unity, that's also good. I had a lot of fun messing around with it too. All in all, the game might be terrible but I enjoyed this LDJam.

Fixed! *Sadly it's not currently working on itch. I'll have a check to see if I can fix it when I'm less exhausted!*

If you do play it, I hope you enjoy it at least a little bit.

Tools: Unity

Even though it is basically a "press buttons fast" simulator, I found it really fun for some reason. And the whole console/OS aesthetics is really well done!

Pretty fun, though I haven't figured out how I won...

Worked fine for me, and I liked the aesthetic. Nice work! The loading text was fun the first time, but would have been nice to have a "skip" option for subsequent attempts (yes, I clicked the "do not click" button). Anyway, well done on the submission!

I'm with @khadia — having a skip option would be nice. But, I really enjoyed the game. Great Job!

That starting is like the start of a horror game. Best jump scare of the jam! 11/10!
