About this game
You know, it's a very bad idea to open random e-mail attachments from very suspicious e-mails.
But it happened, and now we're here, deep inside a system, altering the sets of instructions sent to the CPU every second for our own amusement.
The objective is simple, download files by eating them, destroy as many enemies as you can, reach a new high score, over and over again.
There are three types of enemies:
{Phil} - Yellow - He doesn't do much, he has a normal speed and that's about it. His brothers are bullying him for not having any special skill.
{Ivan} - Red - This one is very chaotic and fast, he can easily ruin your day.
{Alexander} - Purple - He's slow, but calculated, it's best if you avoid him!
But don't worry, you have plenty of tools at your disposal, such as:
{WORMS} - These lovely fellas will download files for you, even other power-ups, they're weak against the enemies, but they will try their best!
{ROOTKITS} - These friend-shaped spiders will munch away all the enemies in their path, and download all the files they come across except power-ups, but they want to keep their cut!
{FORKBOMBS} - Moving back and forth in a single direction, or acting as a barrier, these will decimate your enemies and let you roam freely. However, they cannot collect data files.
In addition to the purple food which allows you to munch away your enemies for a short amount of time!
Once per round, a mysterious item will spawn, it will grant you a second life. Quite a life saver!
There are absolutely NO cooldowns on your power-ups, but there's a catch!
You cannot hoard them for later, which may inevitably lead you to spamming the power-ups and that's absolutely fine!
But beware the more power-ups you use, the bigger the chance for a denial of service to trigger, which will destroy everything in its path (except for you!).
It's time to take a nostalgic trip to the memory lane, and just sit back and enjoy some good 'ol fashioned arcade chaos, where the only thing that matters is to have fun!

VERY SPOOKY UPDATE
SPOOKY SEASON IS HEREI'm a bit late, i wanted to do this update at the beginning of the month, but i have lots of personal issues at this moment and i am a solo dev, so, better more than two weeks late than never.STEAM DECK COMPATIBILITYI am trying to get the game verified for the Steam Deck. Until then, you should know that the game is functioning normally, you shouldn't have any major issues. I've been trying my best to test it as thorough as possible.There was a pretty problem (it affected players also on Desktop when using controllers), upon being presented with the 'Game Over' screen, there was a chance you would've pressed a button BEFORE the game was checking to see if a new high score was achieved, and if you did restarted/went to the menu before that happened, well, you would've lost your shiny new high score.Who would want to lose their hard work because of an idiot developer (me) ?In short:More perfectly crafted slavjank! (In case you thought there's gonna be less of it, you were wrong!)Minor fixes/behind the scenes improvements (including fixing a rare bug which crashed the game when clicking on a specific part of the screen during the title screen)A new title screen for the spooky season that should send you back to the early 2000s even harder!A limited time special Halloween level was added to the random level pool, but if you want to play it specifically, you can either 1. Click the Pumpkin in the Main Menu 2. Press Space while in the menu 3. Press the RT button on your gamepad, of course, while you're in the menu. The level is terrifying, it made me burst into tears, at least while coding it.The player (hey, that's you) but also the enemies are now accompanied by a round glitchy light so you won't get lost anymore down there on the interwebzAlso, if you wanna make history, World Statistics day is coming on Oct 20, and i will publish some global stats related to various game elements. So, if you want to contribute, make sure to munch on as many scorpi...Read full article on Community Announcements (TotallyNotReptillian)Patch NotesOfficial

What's new?'Help' was translated into Russian and RomanianAdded a timer that lets you see for how long you're still invulnerable and can eat the enemiesPower up indicators now show you the required key/button you need to press to activate when availableThere's now a new indicator, if you collected the Blue Rose and still have a second life you will now see "F1R3W4LL" somewhere on the right side of the screen. There was already an indicator on the left but everyone can just read that stuff on the go when being chased by digital scorpionsThere's still work to be done, but this update was a must.Hope you have a great day!Read full article on Community Announcements (TotallyNotReptillian)
