I like the UI and VFX on this, especially the losing animation! The game itself is really hard though, but did manage to get over 100KB seeing the screenshot I'd say thats good enough. :P.
An interactive tutorial with a bit of a slowdown in the beginning would do wonders!
I was able to get around 150KB. The visuals are great and unique, and the animation for losing is amazing. Some small notes (based on personal preference and to be taken with a grain of salt) are:
- The game field is pretty small, and can pretty easily get cramped. I think having blocks being broken immediately after hit once by player/enemy could help declutter,
- The game is very luck influence. On my top run, I found myself getting like 100K score without having to place a single block, as I was just getting lucky with enemy spawns. On another run, I hit an important file, and two more spawned right in my path before I could react. Perhaps avoiding stuff to spawn in the players near-path could work, as it would force the enemy to place blocks to reach enemies, and would give them time to avoid obstacles.
Otherwise, unique, cool and inspiring game. Congrats on a really nice entry!
113K was my highest. Game is hard. Loved the aesthetic of this one. Ahhh windows XP how we miss thee. Great job on the art, music and overall mechanics. DVD ftw
Was only able to get up to 130.5KB, but this was super fun to play! Also all of the visuals are amazing and I love the death animation so much that I didn't even mind dying. You captured that Windows XP vibe really well. I hope you'll continue to develop this game in the future.

Btw my highscore is like 948KB so if you can beat that, erhm, uhm... idk how to reward you in any meaningful, but like, you're cool!
