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'm just really curious lol why u replying all the comments on this game?
it wont open endless in multiplayer :(
relaunch
amazing game
but i have a skill issue😭
aw man too badget better
Was hoping to either have an official feature or a mod to be able to disable the Orb weapon upgrade (aka having all three perks bought, positioning the peer and drain windows into their spots, and then using ability in peer's radius).
I just had a run die with bastion bc I accidentally upgraded, and then no longer had funny beam attack. Please make disabling that an option!
Other than that, it's an absolutely fantastic game! A couple bugs here and there, but they get patched quickly, and the game has pretty frequent updates!
9.8/10

Is this a virus or what?
it’s a game that is split between different windows
why does everyone think this is a virus
OMMMGG
did you know that OMG reversed is GMO?
me: why did the madman make this on Vulkan?.... oh that's why this is witchcraft
10/10
what
why is this free but the steam version not?
Publishing is free on Itch.io but Steam asks for a one-time, $100 publishing fee.
Why do people like to publish to steam?
Oh, gee, I can't speak for everybody, but:
AAA games don't get published to Itch.io, but they do get published to Steam. There's something about having a small game published alongside big games that makes an indie game on Steam feel more important.
There are many people who exclusively play games on Steam... Valve have actually been sued because of having something close to a monopoly on the games marketplace.
Another reason is that Steam handles a lot of the publishing stuff. That means marketing, refunds, and cloud saves get handled for you.
Valve asks for $100 to keep shovelware off of Steam, as you already know. New games undergo manual review, so the fee helps reduce Valve's workload. You do get the $100 back, though, after your game has sold $1000.
The sad part about publishing on Steam is that they take a 30% cut of sales. This is unfortunately pretty standard as it's also the cut for GOG, Apple's App Store, and the Google Play Store. Epic Games Store takes only a 12% cut, which is second only to Itch.io and self-publishing at 0%.
On GOG: they take 30% but all games published there are DRM-free. For most other platforms, when you pay for a game, you aren't buying that game. What you buy is a license to download and play that game. That license can be revoked whenever the publisher or developers want it to be, making game preservation very difficult. This is not true of DRM-free games.
It’s not free. The jam version is playable for free, but the Steam (and paid itch.io version) are incredibly improved and have way more content. If you pay $5 you get all of that, but if you don’t, you get the tiny version made in 72 hours.
wurm hard
its wyrm and its super easy, especially with
blipbastioncan i play by Android
no you can't lil bro you need a computer

This game is so fun
yes i know
GUYS I MIGHT HAVE JUST DISCOVERED A BUG
TORCADO PATCH THIS
you have to include more info for the dev to patch bugs easily. include stuff like what you were doing, what settings you had, etc. Including that info really helps the developer out, because otherwise the dev might spend hours looking for it, and have the cause be something else entirely
oh yeah right so
when i died, i opened the shop window (yes you can do that) and then i bought echo and this happened.
the point where i opened the shop window and bought echo is in the post before this one so yeah
