Bonzios SP 9.5 by LChaves

made by LChaves for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

After downloading some sick jams on your poor sickly default off the shelf white personal computer that you totally didn't buy with the money you got from downloading a car, since that is something you wouldn't do, your OS imploded into a Nasal Demon, forever destined to roam Crappy UX Hell. It is up to you to get some fun out of it, while you wait for the weekly formatting ritual to end.

Good luck!

Love the play on Bonzi Buddy as the game name, good concept - can get challenging quick and overwhelmed fast, the main menu audio also doesn't loop well. overall though fun!

Really good concept, gets very complicated very quickly but still fun. Nice consistent art style that brings back a lot of that Windows XP nostalgia. Really good job!

Love the style! My team made a game in a similar style for a similar theme (Running out of Space) many LDs ago [here](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/clippys-awakening). I do wish there was some tutorialization. The how to play is a ton of text to read and I didn't remember any of it when actually playing other than drag file to recycling bin and then emptying it.

Really cool concept, but I think introducing new file types over time would help quite a bit. Also wish it told how to play with the game itself, as I didn't remember the file types from the How to Play. The look of the game is great, the chaotic nature of it suits, overall cool entry!

Loved this though I did not survive for long at all (1:29)!! The sound and graphics fit really well, and while I suffered a lot because of them while playing, I do really like that the popups showed up everywhere and it was easy to accidentally click download.

Really well polished game! Perhaps it would be funnier to play if a bit easier

This is reaaaaally cool, amazing job there!
The sounds and graphics really work together, I love the Start button and the "bonus" effect you have there, plus it is used to restart or close the game which is pretty smart.
The game become hard really quick but the execution is great, and all the name files and spams you get are really funny.
Congratulations! :)

Really intresting and original idea for limited space theme! I like gameplay and style, so that game is very polished too. Good entry!

Very impressed with how polished the UI is and how properly stylized it all is. Good idea for this theme as well. Well done!

Holy!
This games bamboozled me so many times. It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that I'm supposed to read the filenames before throwing them into the trash. And then on my best run I pressed "Logout" thinking it was another utility that might help me. :sweat_smile: Great idea. Great execution :smile:

I love it when games utilize a desktop as the concept, this is awesome!

Love the concept, felt very polished. My poor computer did not survive for very long though, was a fun frantic battle to keep the virus at bay. Great job!
