Ludum Dare #60compo
Iconworld Doctor
The Iconworld is being threatened by an invasion of nasty computer viruses! It's up to one plucky little computer program to destroy the viruses and save the day.
How to play:
* Use the arrow keys or WASD to move around.* Viruses and file icons can be pushed. You can push multiple objects at a time.
* You can walk or push items from one window to another if the two windows are next to each other.
* Windows with title bars can be clicked and dragged to move them. Clicking on a window will bring it to the front.
* You cannot move a window in such a way that at any point during its move it would cover up the character, a virus, the trash bin, or a file icon.
* Windows may have checkboxes and radio buttons in them, which can be covered up by other windows, but can't be pushed.
* Push all the viruses into the trash bin to complete the level.
* Watch out for the broccoli robots, who are in the game for sure and may hit you with their potato swords.
* Press Z to undo your last move, or R to restart the level.
* Press M to mute and unmute the sound.
* There are 15 levels in total.
Tools used:
* Pixel art: Aseprite* Programming: my javascript game engine, zucchinibread.js
* Music: Ableton, Keyzone Classic
* Sound effects: Ableton, Audacity
* Level editing: Tiled, ulvl
* All photo backgrounds in this game were taken by me using an old digital camera during the time period of the jam, and edited using GIMP.
* The font was created by me using Fontstruct.
* I don't think it should need to be said, but I did not use AI to make any of this!

I'm not gonna mince words here, I am garbo at Sokoban games, but here I felt I had more of a fighting chance because of moving around windows and I really click with what it puts down. The undo feature is *greatly* appreciated, especially with the harder puzzles. Also, gotta mention that I love win9x icons and you got the look of them down. Love my computer friend with shoes.
"All photo backgrounds in this game were taken by me using an old digital camera during the time period of the jam" Thank you for sharing this fun fact about the production the game! I was wondering where they came from heh.
The click handlers on the checkboxes and radio buttons were a nice touch :D
@cassowary, if you want to improve the game, I guess it might be a good idea to make the main character able to walk through windows where tutorial tips are, right on top of the text. but its no more than a tiny suggestion. thanks for the game!
I didn't count at what point I got stuck but I'll probably return to finish it later!
Cheers!

Sokoban puzzles are not my thing usually, but I quite liked this one. It's unique and not annoying, and puzzles themselves are actually cool. As other commenter mentioned, I was expecting our computer boy to be able to walk through tutorial windows, and was trying to make it work haha.
And it's crazy how many levels you managed to design in such a short time!
