A downloadable Terminator for Windows

[ABOUT THE GAME]
TERMINATOR is an intense, retro-styled arcade survival game. You are the last line of defense against the Violet Virus, a malicious entity taking over system processes. If the CPU usage hits 100%, the system faces a total meltdown!

[KEY FEATURES]

  • 🥊 Manual Virus Termination: Get up close and delete infections before they multiply!
  • 🪟 Pop-up Chaos: Close intrusive windows (watch out for that tricky "X" hitbox!) before they blind your vision.
  • 🕺 Smooth Criminal Mechanics: Use your crouch move and the iconic "Hee Hee" sound to dance around danger.
  • 🐑 The Sheep Protocol: Find the "Baranek" – a benign virus that helps you reclaim system resources.
  • 🔦 Atmospheric Visuals: Navigate the darkness of the terminal using your flashlight shader.

[JAM IMPROVEMENTS (Change Log)]
For the Improve My Game Jam 44, I focused on upgrading the core experience:

  1. Fluid Character Animations: Implemented a 3-frame Idle/Breathing cycle and a 4-frame Run cycle.
  2. New System Interface: Developed a functional Main Menu with interactive START and EXIT buttons.
  3. Refined Logic: Improved pop-up hitboxes and added a "Pac-Man" style screen-wrapping effect.
  4. Audio Integration: Added dynamic sound effects and background lo-fi tracks that respond to player actions.
  5. New type of virus!
