Windowkill is a twin-stick shooter, but the game window itself is constantly closing in on you. Shoot the window edges to push it around your screen as you fight and dodge enemies and bosses in their own windows.

i love my shitty gpu
It is possible to kill enemies after dying.
While typing this, I killed Slimest (boss 3) after dying to (boss 2)
And then (boss 2) was also killed
Also why are there two Smileys (boss 4) now
Also I killed both
Wait that means I beat every boss while DEAD
what happends if i lose
Is the Halloween bundle only supposed to include the 2.03 & ludum dare versions?
Okay, I figured it out, I can see the newer versions on my download page, but I can't select them to install in the itch.io client, weird.
godto mey bilovde i luv gadot te opn serouce gemae egnie i loav gatdo gtado isy mey favrighte gaeme egnige i louarve gadot
jogo insano.
Here its a limited version you dont really get the full version or im missing something
this is correct
you only get the full version when you tip the cost of the full game
se você pegar por aqui sem pagar voce so tem acesso a versão da gamejam e a 2.0, se vc quiser o jogo completo(vai por mim, vale muito apena) 3.0 pra cima(que vai por mim, vale muito apena), daí ou vc paga 5 dolares aqui na itch.io mesmo ou compra na steam que é mais barato e compensa mais (5 dolares = 25 reais enquanto na steam e 16,99), esse preço barato é quase um crime de tão incrivel que esse jogo é
a masterpiece
Hi, I had some issues out of the box, so I wanted to post a guide incase other people had issues: (I'm on v4.0.0c)
I'm on Linux with KDE Plasma & Wayland, it seems you need to enable the "focused-input only" or else you can't move or shoot. Additionally, "backing window" disabled all my input (so I can't even close the game easily), unless I also enable "fake windows". It seems this is because the backing window is overlayed over the other windows, and if I turn up the transparency it is above everything else. I also get flickering, which can be fixed by enabling "fake windows". If things like the flickering can't be fixed, I hope it can at least choose working out-of-the-box defaults. Sorry if this comes off as a complaint, I just wanted to provide instructions incase others had the same happen to them. Thanks for the fun game!
bought the game on steam while it was on sale.
Very fun and creative game.
this looks dope as hell. unfortunately its not the kind of game i play, but i still wanted to give my praise for how unique of a concept this is.
Really good, but I downloaded the files off of Itch.io before getting the launcher (about 3 months ago). After getting this game on the launcher, I noticed the absence of music. What happened?
I absolutely love this game, but (I'm assuming this is a bug) I can't turn transparency mode off once on. I changed my background in display settings back to "Void" but it still won't change back. Also I believe for some reason the other backgrounds I've also unlocked are transparent now too? For example "Cell" still has it's own design as the background i.e. the background has like a grid (Like it's normal design) But it's transparent. If anyone knows a fix, please let me know!
PLEASE for the love of god add some i-frames, i’m tired of bumping into an enemy and being sent into a cluster of like 50 of those triangle fuckers and losing 20-30 health points when i only have 10 or 20
Question: If Version 4 ever comes out, does version 3 become free? Or will the 2.0.3 and the old ludum dare stay free and the others will stay at a cost?
Just Curious.
Buff Wyrm
Nerf the "punching the window" attack of Smiley.
great game, can keep me interested for a concerning amount of time.
Late-game looks like a PowerPoint presentation, Im talking like 2 FPS
I hate Smiley
Wyrm and Slimest need a buff
10/10
some youtube shorts says its free butit is realy free?
The 2.0.3 version is free, all of the others cost 5$
except if you go to the posts, for some reason those are free
very cpu intensive in the late game im not sure if i could progress further than the smile face boss i got like 10 stars
I got 49 stars in more than a hour and then I just gave up becuase it looked like a powerpoint presentation lol
did you see anymore bosses other then the smiles and slimes?
I got spiker, wyrm, smilley, slimest and then they repeat
this game page almost blew up my computer
YO! I LOVE IT!
you game has bugs and i couldn't see the final boss fix your gam
There is no final boss :3
are you stupid it is an endless game
does the modding have menu or the unmodded?
10/10 game, also please add difficulties, its hard
is it free completly
yes
the 2.0.3 version is
very game
/10
i opened the game but it didnt work
same
gpu problems
that's awesome man!
are there any mods
???
3.0 has mods support! Buy it on Steam :)
so the free version can't have mods?
The free version is version 2.0 which doesn't have official mod support
thank you for your answer
only for the paid version, you can get it here or steam
we should add a new mode named Masochist (Extruciatingly hard and makes all bosses have a EX variant)
the reason why is because.
out of spite
fire game
I'm on linux and it says "no compatable download were found" like bro wtf
Is this your first game on linux? It seems like, because you are kinda stupid for expecting a game to work on linux right away. try wine if it doesn't work, if that doesn't too, good luck. That's linux life if you don't like it then go use windblows.
opening windowkill-opengl doesn't do anything, it's still just an unresponsive white screen
thats just u lil bro
thats not how you help someone who has a problem running a game :\
Oh... my... god... I've seen games that play with windows but not like this game, how incredible, I'm definitely going to buy it on steam!!
When I open the game outside of Itch the FPS is extremely reduced, making it practically unplayable :(
This is so cool! It's so chaotic and epic, you just get lost in the action. Easy 10/10.
Did I say easy? Yeah, nah, it gets really hard once the spikers come into play. 10/10 still applies though.
How to select a background other than the backing window? (example: use a downloaded png)
I use backing windows to prevent misclicks but it is one solid color and gets boring to look at soon
prob get the steam version for that
how do you get the page to look and act like that?
it’s beltfull really
also i think my computer doesn't support vulkan can you help?
If you're in windows, open command line and start the game with opengl3 by typing: " <path to the game> --rendering-driver opengl3 " (without the quotation marks).
