Lose/Lose

released on Dec 31, 2009

Lose/Lose is a shoot-'em-up and art video game developed by Zach Gage and released in 2009 for Windows and MacOS as part of his master's thesis show, "Data", at Parsons School of Design's MFA program. Styled after games like Galaga, the player controls a spaceship and can shoot at aliens in their path, each representing a random file on the player's computer. Destroying an alien causes the file to be deleted, potentially corrupting the player's operating system, while dying causes the game itself to be deleted. The aliens do not attack and only act as dangerous obstacles.

I guess Lose/Lose can be better categorised as a conceptual art piece than a game?
Or maybe simply as a prank.

What a fun game! I love shooting the aliens, it makes me feel so cool! I don't think I'l ever regret or pay the price for playing this unassuming and fun game!
