Also rectangle select on the desktop should be considered if you strive for realism. ^^
Fun concept, well executed!
It took me a few tries to understand the CPU temp killing the computer.
A few suggested improvements:
- Have a "restarting" animation that plays out when you lose, show "update failed", then restart the game, rather than exiting. (or something similar)
- Add a "shutting down" victory animation like the "restarting" one.
- Hardware spy CPU temp should be a bar or have a warning icon or some kind of indicator for what "too hot" is.
