A downloadable game

An evil witch hiding deep inside your computer is threatening the world's population by attempting to delete all the important information stored on the internet, first and foremost, cat videos!!

The elusive witch utilizes vulnerabilities of your operating system to trick your tools and perform its operations. But alas, M-Beam was developed for this very purpose. Reboot your machine into M-Beam and burn the witch for once and for all!

Destroy the red puppets, collect the blue powerups to increase the range of your magic and eventually meet the evil witch in a boss battle.

WARNING: This is a VGA-graphics ASCII shooter arcade game meant to be booted as if it is an operating system - it is not a regular executable. See more on "install instructions".
