One of the most frequent complaints I get about my game is that it is too difficult to fire the antivirus. Having to stop moving in order to press the fire button was difficult for a lot of people. Personally, I thought that changing this would make the game too easy. But since so many people have requested this, I’ve decided to test this change out.

I’ve made a version of the game where the spacebar is used instead of the fire button.

Download the test version here!

Do you prefer shooting with the spacebar, or with the fire button? Try out the different difficulty modes! Is normal mode too easy now? With these changes, would hard mode be a better default? Or does normal mode still have a decent amount of difficulty? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

You’ll need to install the LÖVE framework in order to run this .love file. After installing it, opening the game should be as easy on double clicking the .love file. If you are on Linux right now, try installing LÖVE through your package manager, the package name is just ‘love’. I can help you if you have any troubles getting the test to run.
