How does your game bring our theme, Systems Offline, to life?
Every upgrade shuts down part of your computer. Pick a power-up and you might lose your HUD, radar, colour, sound, lights or even the display itself. The stronger you get, the more broken your screen becomes, so you survive the horde half-blind until the watchdog goes offline too.
What did you do to ensure accessibility of the game?
You only move; the dog attacks on its own. It works with keyboard or gamepad, the game pauses while you pick upgrades, and nothing depends on colour alone. You can change the volume and turn off screen shake, flashes and the CRT effect
Did you include the Indieformer or Patch Notes logo somewhere in your game?
If AI was used in your game, let us know how you used it.
yes mostly to speed up coding

Very well made game. Sometimes i got xp that came from off screen, dunno why.
Thank you for playing! I’ll investigate the xp
game is cool, art is cool, weapon design is cool. While I have to trade my eyes' health bar with the dog's -- the only things can be sacrifice are color, light and HUD, which is effective but painful.
