Finally crossed the 1 hour mark, but was defeated by lag lol. I had about 50-ish levels of multishot and about 15-20 levels of wealth, it was absolute chaos. really enjoyed it :+1:
Great game. Nice concept, minimalistic pretty graphic, music that you can never get tired of. Good job. Longest run was 1 hour (acording to ingame timer). Had +- lvl 30 Multishot, 40-50+ Wealth, plenty of Splash damage and everything i could buy. The problem is at about 55 min i had 15-10 fps when shooting, and 2-5 fps after 1 hour. Later game crashed. I guess bullets and splashes are the most hard thing to process or is it spawning "children" after "parent" dies (in gamedev terminology of course). My PC is kinda strong. And the strange thing is
max CPU usage - 17%
max GPU usage - 50%
max RAM usage - 51%
max GRAM usage - 4%
I am complete beginner in gamedev, so can`t be 100% sure, but does it mean that game uses only one core of processor?
A bit about balance. The only really usefull perk is Below. Drain eather too weak, or too small. Imo would be cool if after upgrade you could use 2 Drains at once or at least make it 1,5 - 2 times bigger. About Peer, i have no idea why does it exist. Maybe i am wrong but from my pov it is just a small window to see something out of your box. Not helpfull at all cause there is nothing to seek for anyway.
And im glad that you asked. Yes, i have more crapy ideas:
- Would be cool to see stats your char have and what upgrades improves (or how much)
- How about area that regen you for e.g. 1 hp in 2-5 sec that chages location for e.g. every 30-40 sec? Peer could be used to find it
- If (hp < 15%) background_color or char_color or area_around_char = redish; Because really often it is surprise to see "Game over" screen
Anyways it was really fun to try out this game. I like concept a lot.
This game is absolutely incredible, with an amazing idea, and amazing execution! This definitely needs to be turned into a full steam game if you have the time and means to do that. After watching 30 seconds of the video I instantly knew it would be amazing, and after playing it, it is. If this were to be put on steam I know i would most likely buy it for 5-15 usd. This game is amazing!
the only onesa you need are bellow lvl 1 and sight lvl 1 . 1 is great early game and sight is great late game cus of the time slow effect preventing computer fires
Agree on everything, but multishot price. I mean yeah, upgrade better get through Manifest, but at lvl 30 it doesn`t realy matter. Also i don`t really understand what is a purpouse of Peerr? I guess its only can be helpfull in pause
2 bugs: 1) Smiley window can be unfocused and cross can be hidden behind main window (need to alt-tab) 2) Child slimeys (after 1st phase) can be killed with "bellow"
And yes, in 50+ minutes of gameplay player missing bullets are causing huge lag.
oh yeah also mabye add some more bosses? here is one that i litterally just thougt of: Sun.exe the sun will shoot rays of idk from its center (like the real sun) and if you touch those rays then your upgrades decrease in power and mabye you'll even lose them but the rays stop if they hit an edge of its window or any window. but you still have to shoot it to defeat it so its basicly like Take damage, shoot, take damage, shoot, take damage, shoot and so on and so fourth. in its second phase (yes it has 2 phases) then it turns into the moon. the moon will darken every window currently on screen thats related to WindowKill and you still have to shoot it to defeat it. though it will drop 2 stars because it basicly just turns into another boss when you defeat the first one.
So fucking good, so so good in the beginning, but the end game is atrocious. Really hope this continuous to get updates SUCH a cool idea. also maybe think about putting it on steam when its more updated, people will definitely pay for this and play this game. such a genius idea. i like music too
though i reccomend buying bellow as your first ability because it lets you dodge attacks that you normally couldnt dodge without bellow and also it increases the FPS for me
I FRICKING LOVE THIS GAME!!! Hey also, would it be fine if I made your game in turbowarp? Turbowarp has window controls and I've already started trying out different code to make closest to this awesome game! Scratch, yes, is a very simple coding platform but can get complicated, a little. All I'm asking is if I could make a ripoff scratch version lol.
it gets super hard at that point, too laggy and i cant click the smiley bosses down so if another one spawns while im alr in the middle of one its over
I would like it to be for Linux. I tried it with Wine and it is laggy and akward to play, but still playable. I saw you use Godot, I think it is easy to make it that way.
I used Bellow, Drain, Peer. To cast a ritual for an ultimate weapon. And i broke the window, that Emoji Boss does not tolerate reality bending and it`s up to trying to destroys us.
(also during the bossfight the game suddenly closes without any reason so torcado fix this)

Update: figured out what peer does
What does it do?
Starting from lvl 2 it spawns health time over time

cool game although i feel black would be a more appropriate background then purple
also on top of that maby reduce the price of multishot past like lvl 30. i can oln
y get it with boss tokens after that
also 200% buff the unique abilities because the manifest is always better
the only onesa you need are bellow lvl 1 and sight lvl 1 . 1 is great early game and sight is great late game cus of the time slow effect preventing computer fires

Peer drop health when reaching level 2
perr is good because when moving it arround in active play you enter a slowmo which saves effort from your gpu
THIS IS A GREAT GAME. I've been playing this game for over an hour now and this is my favorite game out of all the games I have.
2 bugs:
1) Smiley window can be unfocused and cross can be hidden behind main window (need to alt-tab)
2) Child slimeys (after 1st phase) can be killed with "bellow"
And yes, in 50+ minutes of gameplay player missing bullets are causing huge lag.
1 million in cash :D
I love this concept.
oh yeah also mabye add some more bosses? here is one that i litterally just thougt of:
Sun.exe
the sun will shoot rays of idk from its center (like the real sun) and if you touch those rays then your upgrades decrease in power and mabye you'll even lose them but the rays stop if they hit an edge of its window or any window. but you still have to shoot it to defeat it so its basicly like Take damage, shoot, take damage, shoot, take damage, shoot and so on and so fourth. in its second phase (yes it has 2 phases) then it turns into the moon. the moon will darken every window currently on screen thats related to WindowKill and you still have to shoot it to defeat it. though it will drop 2 stars because it basicly just turns into another boss when you defeat the first one.
yeah i know that this comment is long but i am litterally reccommending a boss so yeah
This is certified dank
I LITTERALLY JUST DIED
So fucking good, so so good in the beginning, but the end game is atrocious. Really hope this continuous to get updates SUCH a cool idea. also maybe think about putting it on steam when its more updated, people will definitely pay for this and play this game. such a genius idea. i like music too
if you wanna have a frog while playing go download desktop frog run the frog.exe.
died on purpose because of low-fps about 2-3 for last 30 minutes
please optimize "end"-game (after about 30 minutes of playing, alot of coins around cause fps drop)
how do you view your skills when you die
they view it before dying and took screenshot
this time it wasn't skill issue, i was literally on 2 seconds per frame :sob:
oh yeah this happened to me too
though i reccomend buying bellow as your first ability because it lets you dodge attacks that you normally couldnt dodge without bellow and also it increases the FPS for me
HOW SOME PLAYERS DO DRAIN FIRST
this game is perfect stress-test-app for PCs
I FRICKING LOVE THIS GAME!!!
Hey also, would it be fine if I made your game in turbowarp?
Turbowarp has window controls and I've already started trying out different code to make closest to this awesome game! Scratch, yes, is a very simple coding platform but can get complicated, a little.
All I'm asking is if I could make a ripoff scratch version lol.
they don't own the idea of a window moving shoot em up so probably yeah
noice, I'll post a demo of it soon then!
useless u put some code that is the idea
Honestly the most impressive concept and a technical feat I've seen in a while. Amazing, I look forward to what's gonna come next!
this is insane, i was at 2-5fps late game T_T
woah youre getting a little too spicy with your coins
it gets super hard at that point, too laggy and i cant click the smiley bosses down so if another one spawns while im alr in the middle of one its over
The game keeps crashing for me constantly
oof...
This game should be considered a drug
it should.
I've been playing it for hours
EXACTLY
i only play it when i have nothing else to do even though i still have 4 more floors to beat on pizza tower
Bro I normally have a username "iStoleYOurToast" I'm sadge I didn't use it on here or it would be funny.
What does Peer actually do??
I think it gives extra vision?? That's it.
If also sat in the designated slot, along with drain, Peer starts to create health pickups
oohh I didnt know that!
isnt that just lvl2 peer? also thats used for something else btw
I say bellow is my favorite, especially while fighting that stupid wyrm thing, it LAGS my game.
I BUY BELLOW AS MY FIRST ABILITY TOO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I saw many people who reached the best of his runs, but i (probably) will the first person, who show you the real beating of windowkill:
Some bonus, or something?
i beat this game a week ago or smth
now i sit here, lie in wait till they add something new
though ur definitely the first person to show anyone the real victory screen
i want this
You remind me while I waiting for new build of project zomboid with new 3d engine.
Hello! I'm interested in your project, I want to offer you cooperation, I can make a design for your game, if you decide to, write to discord: xailuoz
I can also help with localization into Russian
зашел в его дискврот?
Translated: went into his diskgot?
(powered by google translate)
*Got into his diskrot?*
Now yes
I'm Japanese, I love this game. If possible, I want to help localization to Japanese. Please contact me if you are interested.
Dis mean anything?
the 50% off for your upgrade once
BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT
BUY IT
very cool game overall, but end game experience isnt very good (5fps)
i use a gamer laptop so this probably wont be a problem
Please add localization
it is not nessesary, the basically knowledge of English will be enough
Awesome game! Keep it up!
Would really like to be able to reassign bindings to whatever suits me most.
hey bud have you heard of AutoHotKey
really liked it, there is a point of it is very easey, but it its very challeging before that.
good job
This is awesome!
I love the clever use of the windows as game mecanics.
My best run was 34 minutes (20 stars), I played until the game lagged to much for me to dodge
TWENTY STARS??????????????
Some people got 70, It becomes easier after some time, but start to lag a lot because there is money everywhere
Cool, but i feel like the blue window shrinking things spawn wayy to much
what blue window
Damn i did improve from last time, personal best :+1:
i tried running the opengl version and tried to use opengl3. didnt work, i guess im not playing windowkill.
uhhhhhhhhhhh just use normal opengl
I would like it to be for Linux. I tried it with Wine and it is laggy and akward to play, but still playable. I saw you use Godot, I think it is easy to make it that way.
I agree
yeah, it's very easy
(source: i use it XD)
I use it too.
this is super clever!
Hey the smiley in game is a boss
ik
also right as i pressed the reply button the "4 days ago" thingy turned into "5 days ago"
what are the chances lololol
think
Incredible game!

Probably one of the greatest and most creative games I've ever seen
