About This Game

30 years ago a logo started bouncing.

Now it must learn how to fight!

DVD Screensaver 2 is a survivors style auto-battler homage to the most iconic screensaver ever made. No movement input. No aiming. Just upgrades, escalating waves of screen burn-in, and the question that has haunted humanity since 1996:

Will it hit the corner?

Stack color-activated weapons, pile on upgrades until the screen tears, and transform a nostalgic logo into something genuinely unstoppable. Every run bounces further. Every wave hits harder. Pray you choose the right upgrades.

Play actively, or enable full Auto-Mode and let it run forever in the background. The game can even be installed as an actual screensaver on machines running Windows*!
