What do you think?

I wish the control would be more Contra like cause this game is run & gun.
Anyways, fun run & gun game. I killed the virus and it took almost 40 minutes to do that

Oh my. This looks very promising; looking forward to trying it out.

Introduction:

This game was created for the Indie Game Maker Contest 2015 hosted by Game Dev Fort.

It was developed in cooperation between Alexander "Yeti" Herrfurth (aka LuckyGoodrich) and Dennis "Inferno" Dirschka, who together went by the name Wasted Seagull Games at that time.

Dennis "Inferno" Dirschka would later found Inferno Games.

A lot of time has passed since the contest and we figured it would be a great idea to make the game available more openly, so that more people can enjoy it.

Game Description:

Runtime Error! is a side-scrolling action shooter with platformer elements by Wasted Seagull Games.

A dangerous and never-before-seen virus has corrupted the International Security Network. It keeps growing at a dramatic rate and threatens to take over the entire cyberspace.

But there is still a spark of hope for mankind's safety. A smart and strong-minded programmer, specialized in network security, has developed an anti-virus-software with a highly sophisticated artificial intelligence, programmed to get down to the root of the trouble and take out the evil virus.

Take control over this special A.I. and shoot your way through hordes of malware, spyware, worms and bugs. However, despite your high-end weaponry, annihilating the world's most dangerous threat is not an easy task. You might want to explore the vast cyberspace and weaken the virus by destroying fragments of it.

Unfortunatelly, there is no time for sight-seeing. You only have one hour to accomplish your task. So, it's up to you:

How many virus fragments will you need to destroy to be able to face your powerful enemy?

Will your software need some upgrades?

Will you rush straight to your original target just to fall to it's superiority?

Boot your systems and prepare yourself for a fast-paced cyber battle!

Features:

Full game pad support
Upgrade your program with Exabytes you gain from your enemies!
The more virus fragments you destroy and the more upgrades you get, the easier the boss fight will be. But keep in mind that one hour could be over sooner than you expect!
You are challenged to find your balance of time, funds and power.

Please note:

All assets in this game are self-produced, except for music and the font used to display text (see "Credits" for more information). Black screens and error messages that are shown during the game are intentional visual effects. This game does not actually cause system crashes.
