Here is my first Ludum Dare entry.
You must drag the windows to make the guy touch the arrows. Make him walk to the door.
I started really late this game because I didn't have any ideas. I ended up making this thing, it is very simple but I kinda like it, making it was fun.
I hope you like it!

Amazing job! Simple, original, and well polished. Quite possibly my favorite LD game ever. Even more amazing to hear that it's your first LD entry!
...I hope your next feels better?
Very nice! This is a really neat concept and I really admire your creativity!
I love this! Great concept. I really enjoyed planning ahead for those teleports.
Pretty fun, innovative and nice interpretation of the theme. Good job.
Very fun game! The style was clever, in its own way. I would have liked a bit more with the teleports!
Very interesting game, seems to fit the theme very well too!
Wow I really like this, both the concept and the gameplay were great. Good job
Tanner:
I like it a lot. It's intuitive, simple, and makes clever use of the theme.
Wow that's an incredible puzzle game even ignoring the time constraints of LD. Really amazing job. The last few levels really get the adrenaline up.
Love the concept, polished animations, an overall great effort!
This is pretty clever and unique! Solutions required a little thought and planning! Yay!
Very good hit on theme!
Nice music!
This is really innovative and fun.
Awesome game!
cool! innovative and fun :D there are so much you can do with this mechanic! keep it up! congratulations
Nice one! Fit the theme pretty well, and the music is a big plus.
This is fantastic! There are some really cool puzzles in here, and the basic mechanic is ingenious. I'd love to see more levels if you choose to expand on this (I really hope you do). Awesome job.
Good job, but I already have seen this type of game needs to be more abstract
Very nice game. I liked the window moving mechanics. I need more levels. please. Thank you for your game.
Nice concept. I like that you need to plan ahead. The levels were well designed. I beat all 15 levels, the difficulty ramps at a nice level and you do a good job of introducing new puzzle elements.
Maybe it would be nice if you could figure out a way to make the layout of the arrows matter more to the puzzles. There could be some screens that can't be moved while the character is inside it?
Fun game! very innovative and love the how its all in one screen :) great entry!
That was really innovative, fresh and fun. :)
I could have easily played 10+ more levels of this, with more gradually introduced traps and mechanics to throw more stuff into the mix. Great fun and good job! :D
I wish I can give you 6 stars for innovation. pretty short I want to play more. please give me a twitter or something I want to see more of your work(or probably if you want to improve this)
this is well done 5/5
Super unique, played this for quite a while, its super interesting how you can play from different angles. I love the pixel art, never seen anything like it. Great work.
It was a really fun game. Planning out a route and executing felt good. The game was really clear and readable. I wish the arrow hit box for the arrows were more the shape of the arrow itself and not the circle. Also it might have been nice to have a reset window instead of having to go to the menu button for it.

Great work! Despite a late start you have a solid mechanic and an enjoyable experience! I ended up quitting out about level 15 or so after the mine puzzles put more emphasis on timing than routing planning, but that's just personal preference. Given the theme you've chosen I wonder what other mechanics could be derived- for instance could maximising/minimising windows be part of the puzzle?
Really cool entry. I like how you made an effort to keep most things "in-theme", which is pretty hard and rare when you have such a limited time frame to make a game.
THAT is what is called being innovative! What a smart idea, great game, and a good feel! Well done, !
Truly innovative game! I feel like the title doesn't really represent the game's uniqueness though; the first name that came to mind for me was "Screenwalker".
Excellent work! I also like the faux-desktop thing going on. I am also amazed that you made 15 levels!
Clever level design and idea backed up by great visuals and music.
Excellent! This was very well done for a LD game and I really got into the puzzles, more so than many games I've payed to play. I would definitely encourage you to keep working on this. The concept and the execution were both great :)
Very nice, And a cool idea, very nice use of the theme. One problem. You have more than one screen :O Nevermind, the theme is more of a prompt anyway.
Very good game! I had lot of fun and the music is very fitting.
Amazing idea! Though I expected it to be more puzzle-ish. Can it be done with real applications, I wonder?
Nice game, I like how it's all in the style of a desktop. Some later puzzles have been quite hard to execute though, but I managed to get to the end.
Great idea, great presentation! One of the most interesting games I've played so far!
Awesome 5 star innovation. Great game! So very original, awesome job!
Beat the game. Fun and original idea, though gets a little repetitive without any new mechanics.
Maaaaan! That was FUN!
Also, enjoy: http://puu.sh/dtQoH/34e1551f2d.png
Very creative, and great use of the theme! I appreciate how the name of the game tells you what your goal is too.
Really, really nice puzzle design, and a nice gradual difficulty curve. It would be cool to break up the levels into different themes of some sort.
Well, this is a little gem and no mistake. Highly original and fun too. Great game.
I loved the concept, and the puzzles weren't too hard to figure out. The multi-window setup seems a little at odds with the theme of all on one screen, but I liked it.
King of the walking dude! Lots of fun really neat idea too great job and will probably play again!
Awesome game with awesome puzzle mechanics! I wanted more!
Very clever and original take on the theme. I really liked the whole dragging windows gameplay and the puzzles were well designed.
Really cool idea here, having the character traverse through a computer window based environment. The puzzles were very well designed, not too difficult, but difficult enough that I felt smart when I found the solution. I really enjoyed the pre-programming aspect of leaving certain windows in strategic locations in order to solve the puzzles. I feel like you might be able to push this even further by incorporating more spatial elements to the puzzles, namely positioning of the directional orbs. The amount of mechanics that you had was spot on since each level re-used techniques from previous levels, but also added new ones to keep things interesting. Having the menu options show up in the "star menu" and the level counter show up as the time was a really nice touch. The music was fitting to the idea, and the art, though simple, worked really well as a basis for the mechanics. I feel like you could have given the player a little bit more leeway on collision with the teleporters since moving the window to hit the orbs while the character is also moving requires a lot of dexterity and felt hard to control. All in all, it's pretty crazy that you managed to create such an impressive and polished game on your first LD! Can't wait to see what you come up with next time, and I hope that you feel like your idea was a success even though it didn't come to you right away!
Wow.
Excellent idea executed awesome.
I don't really know what to say, but it's definitely an awesome game, great job!
This is one of the more innovative puzzle games I've seen in a while. Excellent level design, the graphics fit very nicely, and nice audio too. You should release this for mobile and sell it!
My favorite by far. The difficulty transition is flawless. Music, audio and art fit perfectly. Great job!!
Hey pepi! I got around to playing this. It's definitely a novel concept, and somewhat disorienting to move the player and window while the player moves himself. Nice job, I've got to say! I think you could create a level editor with ease and expand the gameplay just by community effort.
Neato.
This is really fun and simple. I never thought using the windows xp interface as a game control, good Job
Can't remember having seen something like that before. Great puzzle game with sound and music. It took me a minute to grasp the controls and to understand the dude and the arrows had to collide. To begin with, I was hesitant between mouse or keyboard controls. A 5 second tutorial on a splash screen explaining controls or/and showing gameplay would be useful. Also, having to go into the "Menu" to re-start a level is frustrating (because your game is addictive). Levels are well balanced. Excellent job!
This one's something else, I really like it, it's an original! Excellent use of the theme. Nice puzzle game :D
Hah! What a clever little game. Perhaps one of the best on the Theme category I've played.
After some time, I'm not sure if I'd be a fan of that window movement but in a way.. why not. Might be interesting to see this on mobile too.
Graphics had perfect style for this game. Controls were responsive. Good way to handle options/restart.
Nice job.
Very nice game. The puzzles can be more difficult for me.
Cool music and animations.
Well made!

Very clever idea, and pretty fun too! For some reason I want it to have some sort of story about exploring a computer system or, something vaguely like Tron...that's just me, though. ;)
