How does your game represent Mode?
In our game, you collect secret codes that unlock gameplay modes that you use to complete challenges and puzzles. It harkens back to a time when you'd collect cheat codes from friends at school and type them into your favorite game to see what secret modes they unlocked, think Big Head Mode and more.

Really awesome abilities and unlocking them feels great.
Awesome game design! I truly enjoyed (and, admittedly, suffered through) this game😂. The music was on point too. It would be great (and funny) to know how many lives were needed for each of the modes. Congratulations!
That’s a great idea! We should totally implement that. We had plans for a timer too, just to see how fast you could get through, but, you know, time.
Really well designed game. controls were easy to understand and played smoothly. I also got stuck on hard mode. Got trapped in the bottom row and could not find a way to get to the note which is 2 rows above. I think the spawn point may be wrong? Let me know if there is a way to continue. I would like to complete the hard/nightmare mode. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the review! As far as stuck on Hard mode... if I'm right about where you're stuck, did you try floating upward while using no-clip to go up through the floor to get the code above? You do have to time it right, and there's some use of Tiny mode or Paintball that can help you navigate the gunners while you do. Let me know if that solved it for you or if I misunderstood the section you got stuck in!
Ah weird, Not sure if i ever unlocked no-clip? Does hard mode come with new codes? I didn't look at the notepad.
Ahh, there is a glitch... sad! But if you type "no clip" into your notebook, it will give you a new power that you can use to progress on from that point. In fact, codes just might work anywhere you type them in... Check the video we uploaded to the game page for more help on hard mode!
Wow! Easily one of the best games I've played this jam. The levels and mechanics are well-designed and the movement is really solid. I loved both the way and the timing that the abilities are introduced. The levels are big, but I never felt lost about where I was supposed to go next.
Super nice work! Especially for a first jam.
Daww, thanks! The encouragement means a lot; we're already excited to do more!
If you're interested in seeing the rest of the game, we uploaded a video and photo for Hard Mode Help. Thanks again for checking our project out!
I really liked the idea of the game. I wish you success
Not sure if you've ever played it but it reminds me a lot of this flash game that used to be super popular around 2009 called Mighty Guy, same design of the stick man and pencil/paper feel. Great job with the art and music, took me right back to when I used to play mighty guy in middle school.
Game was amazing! loved the concept of entering & assigning cheat codes as you need. Game was smooth and level designs were nice. Music was great as well.
Thanks! That’s so awesome to hear. This is our first game jam so means a lot!
Very charming! I love the mix of inky paper with the concept of video game cheat codes. Having to "juggle" which cheats you want to have enabled at any given time is pretty neat. I got stuck at the beginning of hard mode, I have no clue what to do there.
Thanks so much! Hard mode: Did you find the new code at the top of the coin pillar? That can help you progress from there.
