My attempt at my first Ludum Dare! With some family events and other priorities, I definitely wasn't able to dedicate the whole 72 hours, but I hope it gets enjoyed nonetheless!

You only need a mouse to play this game. Try to avoid resizing the window, if possible. Feel free to give back plenty of feedback!

At least now you can add this entry as a first personnal accomplishment ! Well done, it's an interesting take,i enjoyed playing. Nice execution, good job!

There have been 3 major bugs found - The timer loops when running out, you can finish the game despite having mandatory files deleted, and you can deposit files from the recycle bin into the file window even if the file window is behind a different window. Alas, I didn't test thoroughly enough, so they made it through.

Nice work on your first entry! i'm asuming you made the sound effects yourself?

@chispalbc I did make the sound effects myself! They definitely come off as a bit ametuerish, but I think it added to the charm.

I beat it with 43 seconds to spare! Limiting the screen space was an effective constraint. Some funny file names too, particularly in the fonts folder. It would have been nice to have the current folder name displayed at the top; sometimes I went to the same folder twice because I couldn't remember. Good job!

I cleared up the space right on time on 2 seconds left!

That was surprisingly fun, much more so than what I expected when I read the instructions 😆. I have played other games about clearing out space in your disk, but this was the most innovative let's say and the most fitting. I loved the sound effects and the subtle humor in the filenames (the motivation and major accomplishments being empty, deleting job files and legal documents, etc). I hoped that at the end I would be able to see the finished video project, but not. Too bad, I expected it to be hilarious.

Overall, a great little ludum dare entry.
