Describe How Your Entry Fits the Jam's Theme
The main idea was I wanted to create a game and have certain bugs which will help you in completing/Progressing the game. These are termed by QA as BUG , but as a DEV ,I would say that "It's not a BUG , It's a Feature , my friend !" This is what I interpreted from the given THEME as.

With that in mind ,the Game has a collider on the pause menu which help you in playing the game. Even though it's a Blocker Issue (Damn the Junior Dev and his code ! ) , it still ends up fun to play and even Get Released !

Did you create all of your art/sound/music as a part of the game jam?
The UI Panel alone I had modified ( the Free ASSETS (Kenny)). Everything else from code , sound(Chrome music creator) I had done.

Your game is delightful, I really enjoyed how cleaver it was on many levels. The humor was great, the scope of the project was great, the puzzles were great. Felt polished and well done. One of the best ones in the jam imo.

Thank you so much for playing the game. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Hey man, my antivirus going BRRR when I try to run your game. Can you please check if this is infected by something?

Developer

Hi , thanks for trying it out....I tried it on my end and everything seems to work. Since I see few others who played this not having the same issue , could it be your system antivirus being to strict  ? Sadly I don't think I will be able to reupload it until the jam ends. Can you give it another shot (relaxing/Disabling the anti virus a bit) :)

Sadly, I'm not going to disable antivirus on my system . I'll try to play it in virtualized environment.  I hope it won't compromise performance too much.

Hopefully after the Jam , I might take a stab at this. Some of the things I wanted to add were more levels , some more obscure bugs like Aspect ratio/Resolution dialog box which will squeeze  the world  for you to jump over the platforms , gradual transition from the bad art to some really cool art over the level progress and more tighter story (developer/QA stories DLC packs , Bug fixes , merge conflicts and so on) .

Minimalistic style that actually does not look bad, the game fits the theme nicely and it is interesting. Nicely done! :D. Managed to finish it very quick tho, would have loved some more levels! :D

Yup I wanted to add some more levels and more stuff ,alas I just ran out of time to do it all .:)

Pretty good, I like minimalism. Good luck with the development.

Good idea and good use of theme. The level design is very intelligent when you know the twist of gameplay of the game. The art isn't great but it doesn't really matter because the most important thing is the gameplay so well done !
