- The smiley face boss is a fun idea, but after getting stronger, it becomes kinda annoying. - I think there should be a description of what each perk does. I only pick the below perk because the others seem useless compared to it and manifesting (correct me if I'm wrong). - Also, the only upgrades worth manifesting seem to be wealth (at the start) and multi shot. - There could be an upgrade or perk that increases the coin pickup range.
Bellow is the best first pick due to Wyrm being the guaranteed second boss, but the best perk is actually Peer in general.
Below gives you more area, and in later stages it pushes enemies away and even damages them.
Drain drains health in an area, duh, becoming larger at later stages.
Peer does nothing at the first stage, but from stage 2+ it gives healing items, generating them faster at later stages which basically means you don't need to buy heal. Pair that with Bellow and you can survive forever
There is something you can do with all 3, just take a good look at where the eye is pointing, and where the chip on the red box is pointing. You'll figure it out pretty quickly from there I assume.
this game is amazing beyond comprehension!! I just had a suggestion to add some modes maybe idk perhaps a mode where you keep all your upgrades and or perks even if you lose which I personally really want or modes of various difficulties etc it's just an idea
well yeah but right now its just get circles and buy upgrades to get more circles and with only 4 bosses personally i would add like 8 or even 10 bosses if i was the creator of the game then release it to steam
You know how in the customization tab in windows settings there's something like accent color or something like that? For default it's blue, but if someome doesn't like blue, he can change it. For example, I have purple-ish color (I'm a boi who likes pink)
I haven't seen anyone show this cool feature yet but, there's a secret boss that when you kill, you "win" and get this skin. as for how to get to that secret boss I have no clue how I did it. But I will figure it out.
People post viruses everywhere. For anyone wondering, you can tell it's unlikely to be malicious because this software - Has been here a long time - is very popular Those don't work for everything (Facebook is proven spyware) but it does mean that it's unlikely to be bad.
Mostly anything that's author is unrecognized is considered dangerous by Windows. If anything, I hands down 98.7% doubt that this fantastic game is dangerous to your computer.
Yeah, most likely either the signature expired, or it wasn't signed to begin with. This is very common for indie software - the fee to get the signature key isn't seen as worth it for a lot of indie windows devs. (I say windows bc they won't release a linux or mac version for some reason despite literally using Godot)
Game is genuinely really fun!! So many stimulating mini shapes, challenging bosses, that ANNOYING blue circle, I had a blast with the whole thing!! it's a really unique idea too w/ the windows, i love bullet hell games and this might be one of my favs next to jsab,, can't wait for more windowkill updates!1!
great game but i wish it would get harder over time instead of easier and laggier. My game crashed when i let my screen get rlly small before using the bellow ability at level 7. for example the points you gain could change color when they're worth more instead of get bigger which i assume would make the game run better.
Honestly a really fun game! The one big suggestion is the boss window should probably be hidden instead of destroyed, as it was causing some issues on my setup (which are like 90% my software setup's fault, as it was doing what it is supposed to do to windows and tiling them :P )
Although I couldn't figure out why Peer wanted to be in a specific place or what Bellow did at all! I also didn't hear any music, which confuses me, but oh well
Ohh okay, I just figured that peer would do something if I put it where it wanted. Thanks for the tip about raising their levels though, I thought the game was over after doing three bosses XD
Your computer most certainly supports OpenGL, although how far that support goes is... awful to check on windows (The best I'm seeing online is a third party piece of kit named "OpenGL Extensions Viewer" which will tell you the "Version" (That is, the "minimum supported version" because OpenGL is... weirdly structured for those not in the know).
EDIT: The game requires only opengl 3 (presumably .0, that's up to godot), and even then only if you run the .bat. If you just run the exe it should work fine!
EDIT2: After testing it, if absolutely nothing else works, you could grab a livecd copy of ubuntu or debian or whatever and run the game in that (either directly or in a VM or what have you, but directly is probably easier to set up)
Yeah, my computer must support OpenGL, the problem is I dont know how to run OpenGL 3 or atleast how to implement it into my pc (sorry for my bad english). Imma try running it in ubuntu. Im gonna update this depending on how it goes
Tysm
EDIT: Nothin. Thanks so much for the advice. Its really appreciated.
Unfortunately, if your graphics card doesn't support a higher feature set of opengl, there's not *too* much you can do, at least with how windows drivers work. On linux at least you could force software rendering, which would be a bit slow, but supports everything (hence the ubuntu suggestion)
If you're on linux, get mesa. If you're on Windows, get mesa and go through some pain to get it working - but it is possible. It might work on other OS-es perhaps maybe.
Mesa translates graphics apis, (OpenGL1,2,3, Vulkan, older DX, and more) into lower-level apis your drivers _do_ support.
I see in other comments you're on Ubuntu. Just look up "set up mesa drivers ubuntu" and you should get pretty good results. Likely they are already installed, but perhaps they aren't on your system.
it is a purchasable game on a store, you can put down money through itch and run the game through itch's launcher (or even load it into steam as a non-steam game)!
Absolutely awesome game. It's the exact kind of thing to do when bored, and it requires skill too, though. i like how the smile is a reference to the "YOU ARE AN IDIOT" thing also
No. Chromebooks require specific support that the dev doesn't provide. Further, Chromebooks are based on Linux and this app doesn't even "support" Linux. Normally Chromebook native apps can use web-based APIs, but in this case, where it's a game inside your Desktop Environment, it isn't possible from within the web browser. It might be doable, but they'd have to go far out of their way.

is this rare ? i got the same item 3 times and its start glowing stars
When you get 3 items in a row, the item becomes half price.
It's not as uncommon as you think when you play long enough
nice
I really like the concept of this game.

i love this game!
!emag siht evol i
thats your message but reversed btw
i love this game although i keep dying on the spiker cause i suck at shoot em up games
how to get better at shoot em up games (detailed guide)
it helped me a lot, thanks!
2.git better
thank you
3. don't be bad
Nice game.
The hardest part is to recommend it to your friends.
why are you still scrolling
help. at first I couldn't shoot so I closed the game and restarted and it wasn't fixed so I did it again and now the game won't open.
I tried restarting my pc, reinstalling the game and it still doesn't open. it never opened the vulkan one I just use the opengl one
then get a new pc
Man I love your game it was the bast game i play on itch.io
Mac?
idk mabye you need a windows emulator
yeah, WINE works on mac. proton does as well
is it on window 10????
i need a response
Try for urself
just your usual day in the life of a windowkill player
btw i "wonder" what that chip in the border of the drain window means
does it work on window 10
and how much is the Stockag
it should work on windows 10
i use windows 11 and was able to play a game for windows 10 so i think it should
im using windows 11 and it work
Sure, but i3 makes a bit of a mess of it, since the windows aren't automatically tagged as floating :P
when the upgrades match and they turn gold, what does that do?
i think they all half in price
This is so creative! I love ideas you put into this wonderful game. It's great for killing free time
this game is amazing beyond comprehension!!
I just had a suggestion to add some modes maybe idk
perhaps a mode where you keep all your upgrades and or perks even if you lose which I personally really want
or modes of various difficulties etc it's just an idea
THIS GAME IS SO ADDICTING GRAHHHHH!!1!
SDJKFGH I love this game man, it's just so fun
I'm playing on Windows 11 but WASD doesn't work and nor does the arrows, any fix?
are there any AutoHotKey scripts running cuz they can bind those keys to other ones
make sure you useing English keyboard . if are you idk
I find the constant window-shrinking annoying, but challenging. A great out-of-the-box game, would be great if it actually got listed on Steam.
This should be put on steam for 3 dollars
well yeah but right now its just get circles and buy upgrades to get more circles and with only 4 bosses
personally i would add like 8 or even 10 bosses if i was the creator of the game then release it to steam
also i sent this comment while windowkill was running
yes... 4 bosses... only 4... not a 5th at all..
Also you are aware this game was made 72 days ago, with an update being made 2 days ago?
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
wtf con que motor se creo este juego???
What game engine did you use to make this?
according to author’s reddit post they are using Godot Game Engine
it feels like every innovative game uses godot nowadays.
have to say, this is one of the best indie games ive played this year. i got pretty far and it could use more boss varieties, but it was tons of fun
may i ask why your window header is green
You know how in the customization tab in windows settings there's something like accent color or something like that? For default it's blue, but if someome doesn't like blue, he can change it. For example, I have purple-ish color (I'm a boi who likes pink)
I haven't seen anyone show this cool feature yet but, there's a secret boss that when you kill, you "win" and get this skin. as for how to get to that secret boss I have no clue how I did it. But I will figure it out.
FIGURE IT OUT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE I WANNA DO IT RRRAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Who stole your sandwich?
who stole my sandwich? what kind of question is that? i have no idea who or why someone stole my sandwich.
I did. I'll post another comment so there's a more up to to date thing
How do I move up and down? I'm trying to use WASD and the arrow keys like the controls say but I can only move side to side.
Is my game broken or is there no way to go up and down?
i think your game is broken
Do u have any AutoHotkey scripts? If so, turn them off
its not only
it says its dangures i cant play it
huh
Just click more info and run anyway. It's just your PC seeing this type of program for the first type.
1 hour of this
yes
how do i solve the "dangerous software" on windows
Click "more info", then "run anyway".
does anyone know why it is seen as a dangerous software
yeah same
do you know if it is safe?
ITS OBVIOUSLY SAFE YA DINGUS WHY WOULD SOMEBODY POST A VIRUS ON ITCH.IO
People post viruses everywhere. For anyone wondering, you can tell it's unlikely to be malicious because this software
- Has been here a long time
- is very popular

yeah
More info > run anyway

More info > run anyway
anyone got any tips, because i usually die mid-spiker or after it
do you know why it says it is a dangerous software or is that just me
why are you replying to me for that, that has nothing to do with what i want
I read this like you were snapping at them, but its for a valid reason.
I just strafe a lot, so they dont give me much problems.
superb
not as superb

my current score btw lol

peer lets you see studff outside of your window but boss windows is basicly just temporary peer
also peer on level 2 and higher drops healing items
and bellow enlarges your window to the maximum size for a short period of time
bellow on level 2 and higher pushes enemies away too
Ohh okay, I just figured that peer would do something if I put it where it wanted. Thanks for the tip about raising their levels though, I thought the game was over after doing three bosses XD
Thanks ^v^
I was left pretty sad cuz my PC doesn't support OpenGL. Is there any possible way to make it not require OpenGL? If yes, then I would be happy to know
(please i really want to play this game)

Tysm dude! U have been helping me these days, even if I cant run it, I appreciate you replying trying to find a way to run the game. Have a nice day
If you're on linux, get mesa. If you're on Windows, get mesa and go through some pain to get it working - but it is possible. It might work on other OS-es perhaps maybe.

Good luck. There might be an online guide.
How do i search for mesa? Like... mesa app or smth?
I see in other comments you're on Ubuntu. Just look up "set up mesa drivers ubuntu" and you should get pretty good results. Likely they are already installed, but perhaps they aren't on your system.
This would be amazing as a purchasable game on a store (like steam and epic games) and could be cool to have multiplayer
it is a purchasable game on a store, you can put down money through itch and run the game through itch's launcher (or even load it into steam as a non-steam game)!
It doesn't need to be on steam to be good :P
I'm not saying that "it's bad because its not on steam", also idk if it would be easy to add but multiplayer would be cool
its gonna be on steam now and have multiplayer
Wonderfully unique gameplay. Definitely would love to buy this game! Pitched in $5 to help the developer! I actually got pretty far!
Absolutely awesome game. It's the exact kind of thing to do when bored, and it requires skill too, though. i like how the smile is a reference to the "YOU ARE AN IDIOT" thing also
Will this work if downloaded on chromebook

FPS is for the weak, also here is my record
