Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Freeware Shoot 'em Up game for Windows and Mac made by alternative developer Zach Gage that plays something like Space Invaders, with one big difference — if you shoot an alien, the game permanently (it completely skips the recycle bin!) deletes a file from your computer. If you collide with an alien, the game deletes itself.Amazingly, people actually have played this and enjoy it (the high score is something like 412 files). We don't recommend playing this, though, unless you planned on reformatting your computer anyway note (or are savvy enough to set up a throwaway virtual machine to play the game inside safely, but then where's the...charm?) in which case have at it.It's been labeled as malware by several antiviruses, though it technically isn't since malware does harm without permission.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })No links, for obvious reasons. If you're really curious, just Google Lose/Lose for its site...and don't say we didn't warn you.

The Punishment Is the Crime: Playing this game itself is a punishment in its own right, be it your files being deleted or the game itself being deleted.

Permadeath: The game deletes itself if you die. You could redownload it, but that's completely missing the point.

Meaningful Name: It's a Lose/Lose situation — shoot the enemies, your files get deleted; crash into them, you lose and the game gets deleted.

Collision Damage: It has Deletion as Punishment. Of the game itself.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: By stopping the alien invasion, you delete important files from your hard drive.

Deletion as Punishment: Zigzagged. You lose, the game deletes itself. As you win, the game starts deleting your other files — meaning that playing the game is also this trope in itself.
