This is my first game for the game jam and hope you all enjoy it.

Mechanics: 

You will have three tools to start taking out the bugs.

A virus defender - This provides effects to the bugs in the system.

virus seeker - That will kill bugs it finds on the system which can be upgraded over time.

Command Line - This will provide the user with command prompts to use and either attack or repair the pc. Use Help in the command to see all the command functions and command lines


Game Story:

You are a Data Specialist hired to clear bugs every day from the computer systems around the office and you will have to clear bugs all day until the end of your shift.

At the end of the day you are paid a wage and you are to invest that wage into better software and programs to take out the bugs during your shift.


Aesthetics:

The feeling while you play this game is that you are strategic and can use your tools and upgrade them correctly in an effort to survive the next day and keep going and be the best "Data Specialist" which will be a leaderboard when you lose you get to upload your score to it.



Missing Features: 

Upgrade Shop & Random Button Might Not Work & 3 Strike System.

So much potential I sense here, I love the main mechanic very much, never played a game like this before. I really had a good time. Thanks for making this!

Thank you for playing ๐Ÿ˜

Great Game, I would extend this on many ways, as your GDD mentioned: Upgrade system would fit the game perfectly! 

Maybe some  Clicker events on BugScanner or a Firewall visualy burn over the screen pushing the bugs back. Bugs biting the programs with healhtbars so you have to defend your Programs. or bugs drop  programs you have to delete!  Great game, which made me think about extending it alot - I got very into the mind game with this Great submission!

Thank you for your feedback ๐Ÿ˜Š. I had plans for most of this but had run out of time before implementing.


Hope you enjoyed the game ๐Ÿ˜Š

At some points there was not spawning bugs anymore did I win? Also what could I do with the money

Thank you for your feedback ๐Ÿ˜Š. If this issue happens again try using the console window and type in USB Power Reboot. Most of the time the issue is because of that line of code blocking stuff.


The money is for the upgrade shop that didn't make the last update for the jam.


Hope you enjoyed the game ๐Ÿ˜Š
