Neat idea for the game but the controls are really strange and not very pleasant to play with, the cursor is very weird, it has to be in a very specific spot to trigger the button you want to trigger, the buttons to add/remove code are really small in comparison to the cursor but also it seems the remove button is very sensitive, I was trying to rename a method and then bam, method deleted, and then I tried to add a new one to replace the deleted one and it deleted that other one.

Camera movement is very dizzy, considering that I have to hold right click to move the cursor, the moment I let go camera goes flying towards new direction, I'd suggest doing something similar to what FNAF 1 does, getting rid of the right click to move the cursor around and just make it automatically be where the mouse cursor is, make the camera only move in the X axis, and instead of having that enter/exit screen move be clicking on the respective screen you want to interact with or keep the enter/exit screen button that can work too. That, I think, would still allow players to be able to see the methods running while running the game, which that is a neat feature btw, but less strange and not as dizzy.

I love the idea, the controls are a bit strange though, the mouse isn't always on top of the boxes, I would recommend making sure it always renders on top of the buttons, also It would feel more natural if we clicked with the tip of the mouse not the center of it. With more simplified controls I think the game would play better. But other then that, really solid job

Thanks for playing it and for the feedback! As regards the controls, I fixed them but I can't upload the new version of the game now because the jam is still running. Anyway I appreciate your feedback!

I love this game's originality, having to code a game was really fun. I loved the chain chomp on the right lol

I liked the concept of playing a game through a game and "coding" it! The visuals are very nice, I loved that you can watch the "code" being executed while the game is playing so you can easily change what went wrong! It took me a while to understand that I have to click on a code and then delete and write the command by myself ( you might have mentioned it in the tutorial but my attention span is cooked and did not realize that ). Overall very nice game, the only thing I would change is maybe the way u manage the controls ( like switching from a monitor to the other and the "cursor" mechanic ), it felt a bit strange to control. Great job regardless !!

The controls take some getting used to but overall it's a very cool game.

Looks like a cool idea and nice low poly visuals, but I could not play, buttons were not working properly :(

Thank you! I know, there is offset between the 3D cursor and where your cursor actually is. I'll try fix that. Thanks for playing!

Love the creativity of the game, it's kinda like programming but you're playing a game. The room and atmosphere is really cool. Wish I could set the mouse sensitivity, and more consistency on the play/reset button, for example: on the level with shooting white ball, you need to press restart and wait for a bit before pressing play.

Thanks, I appreciate that you liked the game! I was trying to make the player feel like he was programming, anyway I didn't work every day of the jam so I need to adjust something and add levels. I think I can fix the bug that you are encountering. Thanks for the feedback!
