What do you think?

Please finish it. I look forward to the full version. Also, maybe you can make different viruses to battle with different abilities. Like Stuxnet (can have a charge able Hi-power laser, but needs to rest for 2 sec. after using at full charge.), Conficker (which has a worm-like shape and can control where you shoot for 3 sec. every 30 sec.), MyDoom (duplicates its self every 40 sec. but has minimal health.), or even RedWorm (The hardest one, only takes 5 hits to kill YOU, small, and fast. ALSO looks like a red worm.) Maybe a Multiplayer version would be good too.

THIS FUCKING GAME IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! MAKE IT EASIER!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BEAT THIS FUCKING GAME!! MAKE IT EASIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The second boss needs to be nerfed!

Good:

  • I like the concept

  • The attention to detail in the OS is impressive

  • I like the polygonal CG style of the enemies

  • Bullet Hell is always nice

Bad:

  • The giant hitbox is unpleasant

  • Having to click and drag to move (and reclick after an some shots hit you) is awful

  • You sometimes don't notice when your shot is refilled so you lose some time

Suggestions:

  • Always have the Antivirus follow the cursor without having to drag

  • When the shot is refilled, accompany it with a distinct sound and visual effect

what if this GAME is a virus

Battle computer viruses in frantic bullet hell showdowns on a parody Windows 98 desktop!

Fight for your computer's life as various viruses try to take over! Use your antivirus software to blast the malware away, and be sure to not get hit yourself! This operating system game is still in development, much more will be added overtime. Try it out, and give some feedback! It would be very much appreciated.

This game is "Name Your Price" meaning you can pay whatever you want for it, or you can download it for free. Right now, the game is still in development, so only pay if you want to donate to the game! I encourage you to download it for free and try it before you even consider paying anything.

Don't Get a Virus requires a keyboard and mouse. You'll have a really tough time playing with a trackpad, trust me. The game basically works like an operating system. You control the antivirus window by dragging it around and pressing space to fire. You can change the wallpaper and game difficulty in the settings application. There are also some computer apps you can run, and some files to look at.

This game is being developed with the LÖVE framework. https://love2d.org/ The assets were made in GIMP, Blender, and Audacity.

I'd appreciate any feedback you have! If you experience any crashes, please take a screenshot the blue crash screen!
