Bïrdy.exe is a 2D game where you have to get rid of the virus that has infected the old PC from your grandma. To do this, you'll need to launch the antivirus while preventing the virus from fully taking over the computer.
This game was created in just 3 days for the Unwrap Jam 2024 with the theme "Keep It Moving". Players must continuously move the mouse to prevent the virus from touching the cursor and infecting the PC.
This exciting project we worked on was awarded first place by the jury and second place by the participants vote in the GameJam! It was an incredible reward for all the work we put in over those three days.
What I Did
In this project, I was the only programmer in the team. Therefore, I was the one responsible on creating the core mechanics of the game and delivering a playable build.
My main task for this project was to create an experience that makes the player feel like they are actually using a real PC. To achieve this, the playable area is designed as a 2D level that represents the player's computer screen. All the interactions try to copy real PC usage:
-
The player mouse is constrained inside the PC screen area.
-
Players can drag and close windows when they appear on the screen.
-
Icons can be clicked to open new windows, such as the Notepad icon, which opens the text editor to show the user passwords.
-
Being able to write the password inside the correct area from the Antivirus and check if it is the correct one or not.
