This game is so fucking good
Defined by NOT shooting enemies. that's the stuff.
very good game
make a free linux version pls
crashes every 2 seconds. no error message, no idea what's wrong
GRAHHHHHRHGRHGGGGGGGGGGG I COULD GO ON FOREVER BUT MAN IS IT LAGGY AT THIS POINT IM GETTING SLEEPY T_T
i suck at this game bruh :(
I have developed a profound admiration for the interactive digital entertainment entitled "Windows Kill," deeming it a true magnum opus that remains elusive to the majority of individuals, rendering me overjoyed by the fortuitous happenstance of its discovery through the benevolence of an acquaintance.
jasjjasjs.
Realmente es muy bueno.
hey whostolemysandwich, have you found your sandwich yet?
also why have you put 133 comments on this game?
Yoo
:O best sandwich I've ever seen, I wanna be a master sandwicher like whoever made this
i need this for my school lunch asap
Jesus Christ
Dude, why are heals so hard to get, I press restock like 12 times just to get 1 heal.
don't forget you can manifest heal if you really need it
Wait... is that why manifest doesn't work? How do I manifest?
go to the "perks" section. you'll see an option called "manifest" under the "drain" perk (the red square). the you scroll down until you see the upgrade you want to buy (in this case, it's heal). then you buy it with the star. hope it helps :D
I just bought the game by the time I saw this comment thanks!
my computer was broken
wow this is amazing
will version 3.0 be free in the future or n
i found an exploit using the options window to show enemies not on the screen lmao
how?
mi mom tought it was a virus because of the name lol
"mom its just a ga-"
"DELETE THIS YOUR COMPUTER IS GONNA DIE"
yep, that actually happened
lol
xd
was fun!
does anyone think that your username is simmilar to "moldsmall" from undertale
yneos

The concept is brilliant
y
I'm just really curious lol why u replying all the comments on this game?
sandwich must check everyone to see who sandwich stealing culprit is... u trust sandwich
it wont open endless in multiplayer :(
relaunch
amazing game
but i have a skill issue😭
aw man too badget better
{insert space here}
SOMEONE HAS YOUR SANDWICH!!! ONE OF THE NEWEST COMMENTSSS
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
k
I have 3060 and it says it doesn't support the Vulkan version and OpenGL one shuts down after a second or two of playing, sadge
pirate
tried this on my mac. very good and well made!
tried this on my mac and cheese. didnt run. 0/10
Great use of windows, 10/10 this game is genius.
ik
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
correct
they should make androidkill... wait thats a funny name for a troyan virus
The shop doesn't work when i press space sometimes, it's really annoying
then rebind it to tab or smth
Why my pc can't run it
because you he flump
我来自中国,翻译工件似乎无法使用,所以我听不懂你在说什么
flump?我也没看懂这单词在这个语境里啥意思
I wish i could get v3 but i dont have a bank account plus cant afford. :(
honesty think its cheaper on steam
its free
V2 is free, but not V3.
It's sadly the same price on steam.
GET GAMES FREE ON [Hyperlink Blocked] FOR JUST 4.99 A SAMPLE HEHEHEHAHAHHAHEHEHAHAHH
That's a really clever concept! Super hard, too.

BRO I GOT A JACKPOT WHEN I STARTED THE GAME
I WAS SO EXCITED AND ACCIDENTALLY BOUGHT AN ITEM SO I CANT GIVE PROOF BUT LIKE WHAT ARE THE CHANCES??
What's a jackpot
