WinSmash

WinSmash is an arcade game that pays hommage to the late Microsoft Windows XP by reminding nostalgic people of the good old times.

In WinSmash, you are going to close windows, a LOT of windows. You have to keep pace with error messages, pop-ups, and other warnings to prevent your system from crashing abruptly. Random pop-up ads are out to get you as well, so stay focus to avoid the dreaded blue screen of death.

WinSmash is a true arcade game, with quickly increasing difficulty. Smash as many windows as possible to make it to the top of the leaderboard!
